Abstract EN
Gamma-aminobutyric acid type-A receptors ( G A B A A R s) belong to multisubunit membrane spanning ligand-gated ion channels (LGICs) which act as the principal mediators of rapid inhibitory synaptic transmission in the human brain.
Therefore, the category prediction of G A B A A R s just from the protein amino acid sequence would be very helpful for the recognition and research of novel receptors.
Based on the proteins’ physicochemical properties, amino acids composition and position, a G A B A A R classifier was first constructed using a 188-dimensional (188D) algorithm at 90% cd-hit identity and compared with pseudo-amino acid composition (PseAAC) and ProtrWeb web-based algorithms for human G A B A A R proteins.
Then, four classifiers including gradient boosting decision tree (GBDT), random forest (RF), a library for support vector machine (libSVM), and k-nearest neighbor ( k -NN) were compared on the dataset at cd-hit 40% low identity.
This work obtained the highest correctly classified rate at 96.8% and the highest specificity at 99.29%.
But the values of sensitivity, accuracy, and Matthew’s correlation coefficient were a little lower than those of PseAAC and ProtrWeb; GBDT and libSVM can make a little better performance than RF and k -NN at the second dataset.
In conclusion, a G A B A A R classifier was successfully constructed using only the protein sequence information.
