The PPIs also play an important role in the complex process of cell death which occurs via apoptosis and necrosis in eukaryotic cells. The PPIs detection via high throughput experimental methods are time consuming, expensive and are generating huge amount of PPIs data. Therefore, there is need to develop computational methods to efficiently and accurately predict PPIs. This study attempts to develop computational model for predicting human death domain PPIs. First, the protein primary sequences are encoded into descriptors based on amino acid composition of proteins which are monomers of protein. Then, the support vector machine and sequential minimal optimization of WEKA tool is employed to classify interacting and non interacting protein pairs. The various kernel functions were evaluated to build the model and it is observed that libSVM with linear kernel is found to be the best on the basis of performance measures. The validation has been performed by 10 fold cross validation technique. The optimum model gives us the accuracy of 76.47% in predicting human death domain protein-protein interactions. Such models can be useful in providing PPI information of death domain proteins which can be useful in understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in death of cells taking place due to ageing, programmed cell death and various diseases.","PeriodicalId":164864,"journal":{"name":"Trends in Bioinformatics","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116661714","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The GM-CSF receptor ligand interaction stability plays vital role for prolonged differentiation of haematopoietic stem cell into granulocytes and monocytes. In the present investigation attempts were made to increase the number of stabilization centres in GM-CSF ligand using molecular simulation. This improves half-life stability of GM-CSF receptor ligand interaction complex. The numbers of stabilization centres were increased by amino-acid substitution which led to change in contact energy, hydrophobicity index and unfolding Gibbs free energy without altering receptor ligand interaction. Multiple sequence alignment of GM-CSF sequence using ClustalW with Ovies aries, Homo sapiens, Mus musculus and Gallus gallus species revealed the conserved domain regions and aminoacid dissimilarities in conserved and other regions. Based on the above, 21N, 25L, 42V, 55L, 56Q, 93E and 102T were mutated with its aminoacid substitution property. Different combinations of mutation were incorporated in the amino acid sequence and mutant proteins were modelled using structure of GM-CSF ligand (PDB ID: 1CSG) as a template by MODELLER. After mutation, the GLU21, LEU25, LEU55 and THR102 positions were identified as stability centre using SCide. Mutations at residues LEU55 and THR102 had 16.71% lesser energy value than the wild type GMCSF energy value which is 6831.73. The result suggested that, the stability of human GM-CSF has been increased (as the energy decreases) due to mutagenesis by computational tools.","PeriodicalId":164864,"journal":{"name":"Trends in Bioinformatics","volume":"357 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122809891","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
