PG - e25 LID - 10.1093/nar/gkac1253 [doi] AB - The sequence-based predictors of RNA-binding residues (RBRs) are trained on either structure-annotated or disorder-annotated binding regions. A recent study of predictors of protein-binding residues shows that they are plagued by high levels of cross-predictions (protein binding residues are predicted as nucleic acid binding) and that structure-trained predictors perform poorly for the disorder-annotated regions and vice versa. Consequently, we analyze a representative set of the structure and disorder trained predictors of RBRs to comprehensively assess quality of their predictions. Our empirical analysis that relies on a new and low-similarity benchmark dataset reveals that the structure-trained predictors of RBRs perform well for the structure-annotated proteins while the disorder-trained predictors provide accurate results for the disorder-annotated proteins. However, these methods work only modestly well on the opposite types of annotations, motivating the need for new solutions. Using an empirical approach, we design HybridRNAbind meta-model that generates accurate predictions and low amounts of cross-predictions when tested on data that combines structure and disorder-annotated RBRs. We release this meta-model as a convenient webserver which is available at https://www.csuligroup.com/hybridRNAbind/. CI - (c) The Author(s) 2023.
