Prediction of Protein Subcellular Locations Using a New Measure of Information Discrepancy

Given a raw protein sequence, knowing its subcellular location is an important step toward understanding its function and designing further experiments. A novel method is proposed for the prediction of protein subcellular locations from sequences. For four categories of eukaryotic proteins the overall predictive accuracy is 82.0%, 2.6% higher than that by using SVM approach. For three subcellular locations of prokaryotic proteins, an overall accuracy of 89.9% is obtained. In accordance with the architecture of cells, a hierarchical prediction approach is designed. Based on amino acid composition extracellular proteins and intracellular proteins can be identified with accuracy of 97%.
