Prediction of submitochondrial proteins localization based on Gene Ontology.

Mitochondria, which are double-membrane bound organelles commonly found in eukaryotic cells, play a fundamental role as sites for cellular energy production. Within the mitochondria, there exist substructures called submitochondria, and specific proteins associated with submitochondria have been implicated in various human diseases. Therefore, comprehending the precise localization of these submitochondrial proteins is of utmost importance. Such knowledge not only aids in unraveling their role in the pathogenesis of diseases but also facilitates the development of therapeutic drugs and diagnostic methods. In this study, we proposed a novel method based on Gene Ontology (GO) to predict the localization of the submitochondrial proteins, called GO-Submito. More specifically, the GO-Submito fine-tuned pre-training Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers models to encode GO annotations into vectors. Subsequently, the Multi-head Attention Mechanism was employed to fuse these encoded vectors of GO annotations, enabling precise localization prediction. Through comprehensive evaluation, our results demonstrated that GO-Submito outperforms existing methods, offering a reliable and efficient tool for precisely localizing submitochondrial proteins.
