On the hierarchical classification of G protein-coupled receptors
MOTIVATION G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) play an important role in many physiological systems by transducing an extracellular signal into an intracellular response. Over 50% of all marketed drugs are targeted towards a GPCR. There is considerable interest in developing an algorithm that could effectively predict the function of a GPCR from its primary sequence. Such an algorithm is useful...
متن کاملUncovering the Classification Characteristics of Olfactory G Protein-Coupled Receptors
The human sense of smell is made possible through the use of the so-called olfactory receptors. These receptors are proteins which are embedded into the cellular membranes located in the nose. The olfactory receptors are members of the G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) class. The function of a GPCR is to transmit a signal into the cell structure when a molecule binds to the GPCR on the outsid...
متن کاملBioinformatics approaches for the classification of G-protein-coupled receptors.
G-protein-coupled receptors are found abundantly in the human genome, and are the targets of numerous prescribed drugs. However, many receptors remain orphaned (i.e. with unknown ligand specificity), and others remain poorly characterised, with little structural information available. Consequently, there is often a gulf between sequence data and structural and functional knowledge of a receptor...
متن کاملHierarchical classification of G-Protein-Coupled Receptors with data-driven selection of attributes and classifiers
We address the important bioinformatics problem of predicting protein function from a protein's primary sequence. We consider the functional classification of G-Protein-Coupled Receptors (GPCRs), whose functions are specified in a class hierarchy. We tackle this task using a novel top-down hierarchical classification system where, for each node in the class hierarchy, the predictor attributes t...
متن کاملHierarchical Classification of G-protein-coupled Receptors with a Pso/aco Algorithm
In our previous work we have proposed a hybrid Particle Swarm Optimisation / Ant Colony Optimisation (PSO/ACO) algorithm for discovering classification rules. In this paper we propose some modifications to the algorithm and apply it to a challenging hierarchical classification problem. This is a bioinformatics problem involving the prediction of G-ProteinCoupled Receptor’s (GPCR) hierarchical f...
