Protein–protein
interaction (PPI) not only plays a critical
role in cell life activities, but also plays an important role in
discovering the mechanism of biological activity, protein function,
and disease states. Developing computational methods is of great significance
for PPIs prediction since experimental methods are time-consuming
and laborious. In this paper, we proposed a PPI prediction algorithm
called GRNN-PPI only using the amino acid sequence information based
on general regression neural network and two feature extraction methods.
Specifically, we designed a new feature extraction method named Mutation
Spectral Radius (MSR) to extract evolutionary information by the BLOSUM62
matrix. Meanwhile, we integrated another feature extraction method,
autocorrelation description, which can completely extract information
on physicochemical properties and protein sequences. The principal
component analysis was applied to eliminate noise, and the general
regression neural network was adopted as a classifier. The prediction
accuracy of the yeast, human, and Helicobacter pylori1 (H. pylori1) data sets were 97.47%, 99.63%,
and 99.97%, respectively. In addition, we also conducted experiments
on two important PPI networks and six independent data sets. All results
were significantly higher than some state-of-the-art methods used
for comparison, showing that our method is feasible and robust.
