With the exponentially growing protein sequence data, predictive methods using sequence information only for protein interaction site prediction have drawn increasing interest. In this article, we propose a predictive model for identifying protein interaction sites. Without using any structure data, the proposed method extracts a wide range of features from protein sequences. A random forest-based integrative model is developed to effectively utilize these features and to deal with the imbalanced data classification problem commonly encountered in binding site predictions.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Results: We evaluate the predictive method using 2829 interface residues and 24 616 non-interface residues extracted from 99 polypeptide chains in the Protein Data Bank. The experimental results show that the proposed method performs significantly better than two other sequence-based predictive methods and can reliably predict residues involved in protein interaction sites. Furthermore, we apply the method to predict interaction sites and to construct three protein complexes: the DnaK molecular chaperone system, 1YUW and 1DKG, which provide new insight into the sequence\u2013function relationship. We show that the predicted interaction sites can be valuable as a first approach for guiding experimental methods investigating protein\u2013protein interactions and localizing the specific interface residues.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Availability: Datasets and software are available at http:\/\/ittc.ku.edu\/~xwchen\/bindingsite\/prediction.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Contact: \u00a0xwchen@ku.edu<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Supplementary information: \u00a0Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btp039","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,1,20]],"date-time":"2009-01-20T01:44:58Z","timestamp":1232415898000},"page":"585-591","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":126,"title":["Sequence-based prediction of protein interaction sites with an integrative method"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Xue-wen","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Bioinformatics and Computational Life Sciences Laboratory, Information and Telecommunication Technology Center and 2Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS 66045, USA"},{"name":"1 Bioinformatics and Computational Life Sciences Laboratory, Information and Telecommunication Technology Center and 2Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS 66045, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jong Cheol","family":"Jeong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Bioinformatics and Computational Life Sciences Laboratory, Information and Telecommunication Technology Center and 2Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS 66045, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,1,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023013110114189100_B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2850","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/bti443","article-title":"Prediction of protein-protein interactions by combining structure and sequence conservation in protein interfaces","volume":"21","author":"Aytuna","year":"2005","journal-title":"Bioinformatics"},{"key":"2023013110114189100_B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1604","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.91.5.1604","article-title":"Crystal structure of an idiotype-anti-idiotype Fab complex","volume":"91","author":"Ban","year":"1994","journal-title":"Proc.
