Abstract

Motivation: Understanding the mechanisms of client protein interaction with Hsp70 chaperones is essential to analyze the complex dynamics in the context of normal or dysregulated metabolism. Because Hsp70 can bind millions of proteins, including key molecules involved in processes of stemness, tumorigenesis and survival, in silico prediction of Hsp70 interactions has great value in validating possible new clients. Currently, two algorithms are available to predict binding to DnaK—the bacterial Hsp70—but both are based on amino acid sequence and energy calculations of qualitative information—binders and non-binders. Results: We introduce a new algorithm to identify Hsp70 binding sequences in proteins—ChaperISM—a position-independent scoring matrix trained on either qualitative or quantitative chemiluminescence data previously published, which were obtained from the interaction between DnaK and different ligands. Both versions of ChaperISM, qualitative or quantitative, resulted in an improved performance in comparison to other state-of-the-art chaperone binding predictors. Availability and implementation: ChaperISM is implemented in Python version 3. The source code of ChaperISM is freely available for download at https://github.com/BioinfLab/ChaperISM. Supplementary information: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Two 7-residue GR segments, SIVPATL and IVPATLP, in the GRpre-Helix 1 strand are predicted by two algorithms to be Hsp70-binding sites.

    “Two 7-residue GR segments (SIVPATL and IVPATLP) of a continuous sequence (residues 519–526; note that residue 519 in the native GR sequence is T, not S) in the GRpre-Helix 1 strand are predicted to be Hsp70-binding sites by two state-of-the-art algorithms (BiPPred58 and ChaperISM59) (Extended Data Fig. 9a).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
