This paper presents a framework for predicting protein-protein
interactions (PPI) that integrates structure-based information with other
functional annotations, e.g. GO, co-expression and co-localization, etc.
Given two protein sequences, the structure-based interaction prediction
technique threads these two sequences to all the protein complexes in the
PDB and then chooses the best potential match. Based on this match,
structural information is incorporated into logistic regression to
evaluate the probability of these two proteins interacting. This paper
also describes a random forest classifier which can effectively combine
the structure-based prediction results and other functional annotations
together to predict protein interactions. Experimental results indicate
that the predictive power of the structure-based method is better than
many other information sources. Also, combining the structure-based method
with other information sources allows us to achieve a better performance
than when structure information is not used. We also tested our method on
a set of approximately 1000 yeast genes and, interestingly, the predicted
interaction network is a scale-free network. Our method predicted some
potential interactions involving yeast homologs of human disease-related
proteins.
