• Abstract summary: We build a diverse and comprehensive multi-label protein sequence database by collecting and cleaning amino acids from various AMP databases. We develop an end-to-end hierarchical multi-label deep forest framework, HMD-AMP, to annotate AMP comprehensively. After identifying an AMP, it further predicts what targets the AMP can effectively kill from eleven available classes.

• Abstract: Identifying the targets of an antimicrobial peptide is a fundamental step in studying the innate immune response and combating antibiotic resistance, and more broadly, precision medicine and public health. There have been extensive studies on the statistical and computational approaches to identify (i) whether a peptide is an antimicrobial peptide (AMP) or a non-AMP and (ii) which targets are these sequences effective to (Gram-positive, Gram-negative, etc.). Despite the existing deep learning methods on this problem, most of them are unable to handle the small AMP classes (anti-insect, anti-parasite, etc.). And more importantly, some AMPs can have multiple targets, which the previous methods fail to consider. In this study, we build a diverse and comprehensive multi-label protein sequence database by collecting and cleaning amino acids from various AMP databases. To generate efficient representations and features for the small classes dataset, we take advantage of a protein language model trained on 250 million protein sequences. Based on that, we develop an end-to-end hierarchical multi-label deep forest framework, HMD-AMP, to annotate AMP comprehensively. After identifying an AMP, it further predicts what targets the AMP can effectively kill from eleven available classes. Extensive experiments suggest that our framework outperforms state-of-the-art models in both the binary classification task and the multi-label classification task, especially on the minor classes.The model is robust against reduced features and small perturbations and produces promising results. We believe HMD-AMP contributes to both the future wet-lab investigations of the innate structural properties of different antimicrobial peptides and build promising empirical underpinnings for precise medicine with antibiotics.

  Classifying antimicrobial peptides(AMPs) from the vast array of peptides mined from metagenomic sequencing data is a significant approach to addressing the issue of antibiotic resistance. Current AMP classification methods, primarily relying on sequence-based data, neglect the spatial structure of peptides, thereby limiting the accurate classification of AMPs.

  This study introduces a quantitative definition and benchmarking framework AMPCliff for the AC phenomenon in antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) composed by canonical amino acids. AMPCliff quantifies the activities of AMPs by the MIC, and defines 0.9 as the minimum threshold for the normalized BLOSUM62 similarity score between a pair of aligned peptides with at least two-fold MIC changes. Our analysis reveals that these models are capable of detecting AMP AC events and the pre-trained protein language model ESM2 demonstrates superior performance across the evaluations.

  Computational design of antibodies involves generating novel and diverse sequences, while maintaining structural consistency. Recent deep learning models have shown impressive results, however the limited number of known antibody sequence/structure pairs frequently leads to degraded performance. In our work we address this challenge by leveraging Model Reprogramming (MR), which repurposes pretrained models on a source language to adapt to the tasks that are in a different language and have scarce data.
