Show abstract
The regulation of protein stability is essential for cellular homeostasis and is determined by a combination of intrinsic sequence motifs and extrinsic recognition enzymes. Despite growing knowledge of the protein degradation machinery, the ability to predict a proteins stability from its amino acid sequence remains challenging. Here we develop a machine learning model to predict protein stability from N-terminal amino acid sequences. Using our model and experimental validation, we identify known and novel sequence motifs governing protein stability. We additionally use this model to predict the stability of alternative translational isoforms with distinct N-termini produced from the same mRNA. Despite differing by a limited number of amino acids, we identify N-terminal isoforms with drastically different stabilities relative to their annotated counterparts, highlighting the potential of N-terminal extensions and truncations to regulate protein function. Together, this model provides a valuable tool for evaluating additional protein datasets and protein design strategies.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
