ProNAhot
ProNAhot: Predicting protein-DNA, protein-RNA and protein-protein binding hot-spots from sequence
ProNAhot can distinguish between the binding hotspots and binding non-hotspots based on only sequence information, which means you need to label the binding residues on the input protein before running ProNAhot.
In case you don't have any binding information for your input protein, we suggest you run ProNA2020 from predictprotein.org to get predicted protein-, DNA- and RNA-binding residues for your input protein. And you can submit the output of ProNA2020 directly to ProNAhot.
How to install
git clone https://github.com/JiajunQiu/ProNAhot.git
cd ProNAhot
python3 setup.py install
or you can install the following dependency manually：
numpy == 1.14.*
scipy == 0.14.0
scikit-learn == 0.19.1
PyWavelets >= 0.5.2
External programs
ProNAhot need PredictProtein output files with the suffixes .in .fasta .blastPsiMat .profbval .mdisorder .consurf.grades and .profRdb. And all these files can be created by running PredictProtein from predictprotein.org
How to run
Example：
If you known the binding residues on your input protein, please label them as the same format as that in file ./test/binding_label.example, and run:
./pronahot -p ./test/ -l ./test/binding_label.example
If you do not known any binding information, please run ProNA2020 from predictprotein.org and submit the ProNA2020 ouput as:
./pronahot -p ./test/ -l ./test/query.prona
Usage: pronahot [options]
ProNAhot: Predicting protein-DNA, protein-RNA and protein-protein binding hot- spots from sequence
Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-p PATH Directory containing the PredictProtein output files with the suffixes .in .fasta .blastPsiMat .profbval .mdisorder .consurf.grades and .profRdb.
-l LABEL Please label the binding residues for your input protein and the format can be found in file ./test/binding_label.example. ProNAHot can only distinguish between binding hotspots and binding non-hotspots.If you do not known the binding information of your input protein, you can run ProNA2020 from predictprotein.org and submit the output here with the suffixe .prona.
-o FILENAME Output file. If not specified, the output is written to STDOUT
