• Abstract: The capability of accurate prediction of protein functions and properties is essential in the biotechnology industry, e.g. drug development and artificial protein synthesis, etc. The main challenges of protein function prediction are the large label space and the lack of labeled training data. Our method leverages unsupervised sequence embedding and the success of deep convolutional neural network to overcome these challenges. In contrast, most of the existing methods delete the rare protein functions to reduce the label space. Furthermore, some existing methods require additional bio-information (e.g., the 3-dimensional structure of the proteins) which is difficult to be determined in biochemical experiments. Our proposed method significantly outperforms the other methods on the publicly available benchmark using only protein sequences as input. This allows the process of identifying protein functions to be sped up.

  We introduce the Protein Region Proposal Network (ProteinRPN) for accurate protein function prediction. ProteinRPN identifies potential functional regions (anchors) which are refined through the hierarchy-aware node drop pooling layer. The representations of the predicted functional nodes are enriched using attention mechanisms and fed into a Graph Multiset Transformer.

  Automatic protein function prediction (AFP) is classified as a large-scale multi-label classification problem.

We propose a sequence-based hierarchical prediction method, DeepGATGO, which processes protein sequences and GO term labels hierarchically.

• A Text-guided Protein Design Framework [106.79061950107922]
  We propose ProteinDT, a multi-modal framework that leverages textual descriptions for protein design. ProteinDT consists of three subsequent steps: ProteinCLAP which aligns the representation of two modalities, a facilitator that generates the protein representation from the text modality, and a decoder that creates the protein sequences from the representation. We quantitatively verify the effectiveness of ProteinDT on three challenging tasks: (1) over 90% accuracy for text-guided protein generation; (2) best hit ratio on 12 zero-shot text-guided protein editing tasks; (3) superior performance on four out of six protein property prediction benchmarks.
