• Abstract summary: We propose a novel structure-aware protein self-supervised learning method to capture structural information of proteins. In particular, a well-designed graph neural network (GNN) model is pretrained to preserve the protein structural information. We identify the relation between the sequential information in the protein language model and the structural information in the specially designed GNN model via a novel pseudo bi-level optimization scheme.

• Abstract: Protein representation learning methods have shown great potential to yield useful representation for many downstream tasks, especially on protein classification. Moreover, a few recent studies have shown great promise in addressing insufficient labels of proteins with self-supervised learning methods. However, existing protein language models are usually pretrained on protein sequences without considering the important protein structural information. To this end, we propose a novel structure-aware protein self-supervised learning method to effectively capture structural information of proteins. In particular, a well-designed graph neural network (GNN) model is pretrained to preserve the protein structural information with self-supervised tasks from a pairwise residue distance perspective and a dihedral angle perspective, respectively. Furthermore, we propose to leverage the available protein language model pretrained on protein sequences to enhance the self-supervised learning. Specifically, we identify the relation between the sequential information in the protein language model and the structural information in the specially designed GNN model via a novel pseudo bi-level optimization scheme. Experiments on several supervised downstream tasks verify the effectiveness of our proposed method.The code of the proposed method is available in \url{https://github.com/GGchen1997/STEPS_Bioinformatics}.
