The development of intracellular ice in the bodies of cold-blooded living organisms may cause them to die. These species yield antifreeze proteins (AFPs) to live in subzero temperature environments. Additionally, AFPs are implemented in biotechnological, industrial, agricultural, and medical fields. Machine learning-based predictors were presented for AFP identification. However, more accurate predictors are still highly desirable for boosting the AFP prediction. This work presents a novel approach, named AFP-SPTS, for the correct prediction of AFPs. We explored the discriminative features with four schemes, namely, dipeptide deviation from the expected mean (DDE), reduced amino acid alphabet (RAAA), grouped dipeptide composition (GDPC), and a novel representative method, called pseudo-position-specific scoring matrix tri-slicing (PseTS-PSSM). Considering the advantages of ensemble learning strategy, we fused each feature vector into different combinations and trained the models with five machine learning algorithms, i.e., multilayer perceptron (MLP), extremely randomized tree (ERT), decision tree (DT), random forest (RF), and AdaBoost. Among all models, PseTS-PSSM + RAAA with an extremely randomized tree attained the best outcomes. The proposed predictor (AFP-SPTS) boosted the accuracies of AFPs in the literature by 1.82 and 4.1%.

DNA-binding proteins (DBPs) have crucial biotic activities including DNA replication, recombination, and transcription. DBPs are highly concerned with chronic diseases and are used in the manufacturing of antibiotics and steroids. A series of predictors were established to identify DBPs. However, researchers are still working to further enhance the identification of DBPs. This research designed a novel predictor to identify DBPs more accurately. The features from the sequences are transformed by F-PSSM (Filtered position-specific scoring matrix), PSSM-DPC (Position specific scoring matrix-dipeptide composition), and R-PSSM (Reduced position-specific scoring matrix). To eliminate the noisy attributes, we extended DWT (discrete wavelet transform) to F-PSSM, PSSM-DPC, and R-PSSM and introduced three novel descriptors, namely, F-PSSM-DWT, PSSM-DPC-DWT, and R-PSSM-DWT. Onward, the training of the four models were performed using LiXGB (Light eXtreme gradient boosting), XGB (eXtreme gradient boosting, ERT (extremely randomized trees), and Adaboost. LiXGB with R-PSSM-DWT has attained 6.55% higher accuracy on training and 5.93% on testing dataset than the best existing predictors. The results reveal the excellent performance of our novel predictor over the past studies. DBP-iDWT would be fruitful for establishing more operative therapeutic strategies for fatal disease treatment.

Living organisms including fishes, microbes, and animals can live in extremely cold weather. To stay alive in cold environments, these species generate antifreeze proteins (AFPs), also referred to as ice-binding proteins. Moreover, AFPs are extensively utilized in many important fields including medical, agricultural, industrial, and biotechnological. Several predictors were constructed to identify AFPs. However, due to the sequence and structural heterogeneity of AFPs, correct identification is still a challenging task. It is highly desirable to develop a more promising predictor. In this research, a novel computational method, named AFP-LXGB has been proposed for prediction of AFPs more precisely. The information is explored by Dipeptide Composition (DPC), Grouped Amino Acid Composition (GAAC), Position Specific Scoring Matrix-Segmentation-Autocorrelation Transformation (Sg-PSSM-ACT), and Pseudo Position Specific Scoring Matrix Tri-Slicing (PseTS-PSSM). Keeping the benefits of ensemble learning, these feature sets are concatenated into different combinations. The best feature set is selected by Extremely Randomized Tree-Recursive Feature Elimination (ERT-RFE). The models are trained by Light eXtreme Gradient Boosting (LXGB), Random Forest (RF), and Extremely Randomized Tree (ERT). Among classifiers, LXGB has obtained the best prediction results. The novel method (AFP-LXGB) improved the accuracies by 3.70% and 4.09% than the best methods. These results verified that AFP-LXGB can predict AFPs more accurately and can participate in a significant role in medical, agricultural, industrial, and biotechnological fields.
