Abstract
A full understanding of the mechanism of post-transcriptional regulation requires more than simple two-state prediction (binding or not binding) for RNA binding proteins. Here we report a sequence-based technique dedicated for predicting complex structures of protein and RNA by combining fold recognition with binding affinity prediction. The method not only provides a highly accurate complex structure prediction (77% of residues are within 4 ŠRMSD from native in average for the independent test set) but also achieves the best performing two-state binding or non-binding prediction with an accuracy of 98%, precision of 84% and Mathews correlation coefficient (MCC) of 0.62. Moreover, it predicts binding residues with an accuracy of 84%, precision of 66% and MCC value of 0.51. In addition, it has a success rate of 77% in predicting RNA binding types (mRNA, tRNA or rRNA). We further demonstrate that it makes more than 10% improvement either in precision or sensitivity than PSI-BLAST, HHPRED and our previously developed structure-based technique. This method expects to be useful for highly accurate genome-scale, high-resolution prediction of RNA-binding proteins and their complex structures.
