ILSES: Identification lysine succinylation-sites with ensemble classification

Abstract

Lysine succinylation is one of most important types in protein post-translational modification, which is involved in many cellular processes and serious diseases. However, effective recognition of such sites with traditional experiment methods may seem to be treated as time-consuming and laborious. Those methods can hardly meet the need of efficient identification a great deal of succinylated sites at speed. In this work, several physicochemical properties of succinylated sites have been extracted, such as the physicochemical property of the amino acids. Flexible neural tree, which is employed as the classification model, was utilized to integrate above mentioned features for generating a novel lysine succinylation prediction framework named ILSES (identification lysine succinylation-sites with ensemble features classification). Such method owns the ability to combining diverse features to predict lysine succinylation with high accuracy and real time.
