Abstract

Salt-tolerant proteins, also known as halophilic proteins, have unique adaptations to function in high-salinity environments. These proteins have naturally evolved in extremophilic organisms, and more recently, are being increasingly applied as enzymes in industrial processes. Due to an abundance of salt-tolerant sequences and a simultaneous lack of experimental structures, most computational methods to predict stability are sequence-based only. These approaches, however, are hindered by a lack of structural understanding of these proteins. Here, we present HaloClass, an SVM classifier that leverages ESM-2 protein language model embeddings to accurately identify salt-tolerant proteins. On a newer and larger test dataset, HaloClass outperforms existing approaches when predicting the stability of never-before-seen proteins that are distal to its training set. Finally, on a mutation study that evaluated changes in salt tolerance based on single- and multiple-point mutants, HaloClass outperforms existing approaches, suggesting applications in the guided design of salt-tolerant enzymes.

HaloClass:利用蛋白质语言模型进行耐盐蛋白质分类
耐盐蛋白质又称嗜卤蛋白质,具有在高盐度环境中发挥作用的独特适应性。这些蛋白质是在嗜极端生物中自然进化而来的,近来正越来越多地被用作工业流程中的酶。由于存在大量耐盐序列,同时又缺乏实验结构,因此大多数预测稳定性的计算方法都是基于序列的。然而,这些方法因缺乏对这些蛋白质结构的了解而受到阻碍。在这里,我们介绍一种 SVM 分类器 HaloClass,它利用 ESM-2 蛋白语言模型嵌入来准确识别耐盐蛋白质。在一个更新、更大的测试数据集上,HaloClass 在预测与其训练集相距甚远的从未见过的蛋白质的稳定性时,表现优于现有方法。最后,在一项评估基于单点和多点突变体的耐盐性变化的突变研究中,HaloClass 的表现优于现有方法,这表明它可应用于耐盐酶的指导设计。

期刊介绍: The Protein Journal (formerly the Journal of Protein Chemistry) publishes original research work on all aspects of proteins and peptides. These include studies concerned with covalent or three-dimensional structure determination (X-ray, NMR, cryoEM, EPR/ESR, optical methods, etc.), computational aspects of protein structure and function, protein folding and misfolding, assembly, genetics, evolution, proteomics, molecular biology, protein engineering, protein nanotechnology, protein purification and analysis and peptide synthesis, as well as the elucidation and interpretation of the molecular bases of biological activities of proteins and peptides. We accept original research papers, reviews, mini-reviews, hypotheses, opinion papers, and letters to the editor.
