摘要

Protein function prediction is a key step in understanding biological systems revealing disease mechanisms, designing drugs. In this study, a novel model SSIPIN is proposed for protein function prediction. The model uses three types of data including protein sequences, protein-protein interaction networks (PPIN) and protein tertiary structures. The embedded protein features are used as the node features of the PPIN, and the PPIN is processed using Graph Attention Networks (GAT) thus learning the information of proteins that have interactions. We also design a method called Geometric Vector Perceptron (GVP)-GraphTransformer to process the protein structure, which is capable of mining deeper protein structure information. The feature representations obtained from the above two methods are then fused for better protein function prediction. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms existing methods on multiple datasets, providing an effective prediction tool for protein research.
