We train supervised and semi-supervised support vector machines with protein sequences, represented by their amino acid composition as well as protein family and domain information. Our results indicate, somewhat surprisingly, that quite modest amount of proteins with experimental data are required to build a state-of-the-art classifier and that additional unlabeled sequences in semi-supervised models do not bring increased predictive performance. Our experiments in cross-species prediction show that models trained for the filamentous fungus A. niger protein dataset can be generalized to predict protein producibility in T. reesei, and vice versa, without sacrificing too much accuracy, regardless of their approximately 500 millions years of divergence. However, predictors trained on E. coli and S. cerevisiae datasets gave variable performance when applied to the filamentous fungi datasets, indicating that while protein producibility prediction can be generalized accross related species, fully generic prediction tools applicable to any protein production host may not be realistic to achieve.

ABSTRACT Mycotic Keratitis, an important ophthalmologic problem, especially among the outdoor workers in the tropic regions, is frequently caused by filamentous fungi. Following trauma, a corneal ulcer developed in 3 male patients residing in rural areas of Sari. Traumatizing agents were likely paddy rice, soil and dust. Direct examination of all the corneal scrapings showed septate branched ...

متن کاملScreening of Lovastatin Production by Filamentous Fungi
In the present study, 110 fungal strains of Persian Type Culture Collection (PTCC) including some selected strains isolated in various screening projects were tested for their potentiality to produce lovastatin, a competitive inhibitor of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMG-CoA reduc-tase), the rate-limiting enzyme of cholesterol biosynthesis. The fungal strains were cultivated in a t...
