Ridge regression estimated linear probability model predictions of O-glycosylation in proteins with structural and sequence data
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: To-date, no claim regarding finding a consensus sequon for O-glycosylation has been made. Thus, predicting the likelihood of O-glycosylation with sequence and structural information using classical regression analysis is quite difficult. In particular, if a binary response is used to distinguish between O-glycosylated and non-O-glycosylated sequences, an appropriate set of non-O-glycosylatable sequences is hard to find. RESULTS: Three sequences from similar post-translational modifications (PTMs) of proteins occurring at, or very near, the S/T-site are analyzed: N-glycosylation, O-mucin type (O-GalNAc) glycosylation, and phosphorylation. Results found include: 1) The consensus composite sequon for O-glycosylation is: ~(W-S/T-W), where "~" denotes the "not" operator. 2) The consensus sequon for phosphorylation is ~(W-S/T/Y/H-W); although W-S/T/Y/H-W is not an absolute inhibitor of phosphorylation. 3) For linear probability model (LPM) estimation, N-glycosylated sequences are good approximations to non-O-glycosylatable sequences; although N - ~P - S/T is not an absolute inhibitor of O-glycosylation. 4) The selective positioning of an amino acid along the sequence, differentiates the PTMs of proteins. 5) Some N-glycosylated sequences are also phosphorylated at the S/T-site in the N - ~P - S/T sequon. 6) ASA values for N-glycosylated sequences are stochastically larger than those for O-GlcNAc glycosylated sequences. 7) Structural attributes (beta turn II, II´, helix, beta bridges, beta hairpin, and the phi angle) are significant LPM predictors of O-GlcNAc glycosylation. The LPM with sequence and structural data as explanatory variables yields a Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) statistic of 99%. 8) With only sequence data, the KS statistic erodes to 80%, and 21% of out-of-sample O-GlcNAc glycosylated sequences are mispredicted as not being glycosylated. The 95% confidence interval around this mispredictions rate is 16% to 26%. CONCLUSIONS: The data indicates the existence of a consensus sequon for O-glycosylation; and underscores the germaneness of structural information for predicting the likelihood of O-glycosylation.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
