Clustering protein functional families at large scale with hierarchical approaches.
Proteins, fundamental to cellular activities, reveal their function and evolution through their structure and sequence. CATH functional families (FunFams) are coherent clusters of protein domain sequences in which the function is conserved across their members. The increasing volume and complexity of protein data enabled by large-scale repositories like MGnify or AlphaFold Database requires more powerful approaches that can scale to the size of these new resources. In this work, we introduce MARC and FRAN, two algorithms developed to build upon and address limitations of GeMMA/FunFHMMER, our original methods developed to classify proteins with related functions using a hierarchical approach. We also present CATH-eMMA, which uses embeddings or Foldseek distances to form relationship trees from distance matrices, reducing computational demands and handling various data types effectively. CATH-eMMA offers a highly robust and much faster tool for clustering protein functions on a large scale, providing a new tool for future studies in protein function and evolution.
期刊介绍:
Protein Science, the flagship journal of The Protein Society, is a publication that focuses on advancing fundamental knowledge in the field of protein molecules. The journal welcomes original reports and review articles that contribute to our understanding of protein function, structure, folding, design, and evolution.
Additionally, Protein Science encourages papers that explore the applications of protein science in various areas such as therapeutics, protein-based biomaterials, bionanotechnology, synthetic biology, and bioelectronics.
The journal accepts manuscript submissions in any suitable format for review, with the requirement of converting the manuscript to journal-style format only upon acceptance for publication.
Protein Science is indexed and abstracted in numerous databases, including the Agricultural & Environmental Science Database (ProQuest), Biological Science Database (ProQuest), CAS: Chemical Abstracts Service (ACS), Embase (Elsevier), Health & Medical Collection (ProQuest), Health Research Premium Collection (ProQuest), Materials Science & Engineering Database (ProQuest), MEDLINE/PubMed (NLM), Natural Science Collection (ProQuest), and SciTech Premium Collection (ProQuest).
