BACKGROUND: Identifying putative membrane transport proteins (MTPs) and
understanding the transport mechanisms involved remain important challenges for
the advancement of structural and functional genomics. However, the transporter
characters are mainly acquired from MTP crystal structures which are hard to
crystalize. Therefore, it is desirable to develop bioinformatics tools for the
effective large-scale analysis of available sequences to identify novel
transporters and characterize such transporters. RESULTS: This work proposes a
novel method (SCMMTP) based on the scoring card method (SCM) using dipeptide
composition to identify and characterize MTPs from an existing dataset containing
900 MTPs and 660 non-MTPs which are separated into a training dataset consisting
1,380 proteins and an independent dataset consisting 180 proteins. The SCMMTP
produced estimating propensity scores for amino acids and dipeptides as MTPs. The
SCMMTP training and test accuracy levels respectively reached 83.81% and 76.11%.
The test accuracy of support vector machine (SVM) using a complicated
classification method with a low possibility for biological interpretation and
position-specific substitution matrix (PSSM) as a protein feature is 80.56%, thus
SCMMTP is comparable to SVM-PSSM. To identify MTPs, SCMMTP is applied to three
datasets including: 1) human transmembrane proteins, 2) a photosynthetic protein
dataset, and 3) a human protein database. MTPs showing ?-helix rich structure is
agreed with previous studies. The MTPs used residues with low hydration energy.
It is hypothesized that, after filtering substrates, the hydrated water molecules
need to be released from the pore regions. CONCLUSIONS: SCMMTP yields estimating
propensity scores for amino acids and dipeptides as MTPs, which can be used to
identify novel MTPs and characterize transport mechanisms for use in further
experiments. AVAILABILITY: http://iclab.life.nctu.edu.tw/iclab_webtools/SCMMTP/.
