Abstract
Lysine acetylation (Kace) is one of the most important post-translational modifications. It is key to identify Kace sites for understanding regulation mechanisms in Camellia sinensis. In this study, we defined a mathematical formula, named sequence spatial equation (SSE), which could give each amino acid coordinate in 3-D space by rotating and translating. Based on SSE, an optional network SSE-Net was constructed for representing spatial structure information. Centrality metrics of SSE-Net were used to design structure feature vectors for reflecting the importance of sites. The optimal features were fed into classifier to construct model SSE-ET. The results showed that SSE-ET outperformed the other classifiers. Meanwhile, all MCC results were higher than 0.7 for different machine learning, which indicated that SSE-Net was effective for representing Kace sites in Camellia sinensis. Moreover, we implemented the other models on our dataset. The results of comparison showed that SSE-ET was much more powerful than the others. Specifically, the result of SN was nearly 20 % higher than the other models. These results showed that the proposed SSE was a valuable mathematics concept for reflecting 3-D space Kace site information in Camellia sinensis, and SSE-Net may be an essential complementary for biology and bioinformatics research.
期刊介绍:
Computational Biology and Chemistry publishes original research papers and review articles in all areas of computational life sciences. High quality research contributions with a major computational component in the areas of nucleic acid and protein sequence research, molecular evolution, molecular genetics (functional genomics and proteomics), theory and practice of either biology-specific or chemical-biology-specific modeling, and structural biology of nucleic acids and proteins are particularly welcome. Exceptionally high quality research work in bioinformatics, systems biology, ecology, computational pharmacology, metabolism, biomedical engineering, epidemiology, and statistical genetics will also be considered.
Given their inherent uncertainty, protein modeling and molecular docking studies should be thoroughly validated. In the absence of experimental results for validation, the use of molecular dynamics simulations along with detailed free energy calculations, for example, should be used as complementary techniques to support the major conclusions. Submissions of premature modeling exercises without additional biological insights will not be considered.
Review articles will generally be commissioned by the editors and should not be submitted to the journal without explicit invitation. However prospective authors are welcome to send a brief (one to three pages) synopsis, which will be evaluated by the editors.
