A protein language model trained to predict subcellular localization for human proteins can generate de novo sequences with the desired localization and identify pathological mutations.

アミノ酸配列から細胞内局在を予測する

深層学習モデル(ProtGPS)を開発し、タンパク質が細胞内の特定の区画に集合するためのアミノ酸配列コードを探索。これを用いて核小体に局在する新規タンパク質配列をデザイン。病原性変異により局在の変化もみることができる。ーすごいです

Not apologising for posting this paper twice as really excited about ProtGPS. Logical next step in protein modelling after the success of alphafold2. Not only will help predict pathogenicity of genetic variants but can incorporate elements for subcellular compartmentalisation in gene therapy design
Researchers in the Young Lab at Whitehead Institute and the Barzilay Lab in MIT's CSAIL have developed ProtGPS, a machine learning model that predicts which cellular compartments a protein will reside in.

This tool could inform the development of more effective therapies. shorturl.at/5KdVE

"[...] this new system, dubbed ProtGPS, allows scientists to predict not just how a protein is built, but where it belongs inside the cell. It also empowers scientists to engineer proteins with defined distributions, directing them to cellular locations with surgical precision."

Proteins don’t just fold—they navigate. A hidden sequence code dictates their subcellular destinations. ProtGPS, a deep learning model, deciphers this code, revealing how mutations disrupt localization and drive disease.
