Accurate annotation of transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) at genome scale represents an essential step toward our understanding of gene regulation networks. In this article, we present a structure-based method for computational prediction of TFBSs using a novel, integrative energy (IE) function. The new energy function combines a multibody (MB) knowledge-based potential and two atomic energy terms (hydrogen bond and \u03c0 interaction) that might not be accurately captured by the knowledge-based potential owing to the mean force nature and low count problem. We applied the new energy function to the TFBS prediction using a non-redundant dataset that consists of TFs from 12 different families. Our results show that the new IE function improves the prediction accuracy over the knowledge-based, statistical potentials, especially for homeodomain TFs, the second largest TF family in mammals.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Contact: \u00a0jguo4@uncc.edu<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Supplementary information: \u00a0Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btw264","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,6,15]],"date-time":"2016-06-15T15:43:52Z","timestamp":1466005432000},"page":"i306-i313","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Structure-based prediction of transcription factor binding specificity using an integrative energy function"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"Alvin","family":"Farrel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bioinformatics and Genomics, University of North Carolina at Charlotte, Charlotte, NC 28223, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jonathan","family":"Murphy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bioinformatics and Genomics, University of North Carolina at Charlotte, Charlotte, NC 28223, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jun-tao","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bioinformatics and Genomics, University of North Carolina at Charlotte, Charlotte, NC 28223, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,6,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023020112323408600_btw264-B1","first-page":"D190","article-title":"The universal protein resource (UniProt)","volume":"36","author":"UniProt.
