※ GPS  INTRODUCTION:

Protein phosphorylation, catalyzed by protein kinases (PKs), is one of the most important post-translational modifications (PTMs), and involved in regulating almost all of biological processes.

Here, we report an updated server, Group-based Prediction System (GPS) 6.0, for prediction of PK-specific phosphorylation sites (p-sites) in eukaryotes. First, we pre-trained a general model using 490,762 non-redundant p-sites in 71,407 proteins. Then, transfer learning was conducted to obtain 577 PK-specific predictors at the group, family and single PK levels, using a well-curated data set of 30,043 known site-specific kinase-substrate relations (ssKSRs) in 7041 proteins. Ten types of sequence features were extracted and integrated by 3 types of machine learning algorithms, including penalized logistic regression (PLR), deep neural network (DNN), and Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGMB). Using a newly collected data set of 326 ssKSRs, we compared other existing tools with GPS 6.0, which exhibited a much higher accuracy on a number of well-studied PKs. Together with the evolutionary information, GPS 6.0 could hierarchically predict PK-specific p-sites for 44,046 PKs in 185 species. For users, one or multiple protein sequences could be inputted in the FASTA format, and the output will be shown in a tabular list. Besides the basic statistics, we also integrated the knowledge from 22 public resources to annotate the prediction results, including the experimental evidence, physical interactions, sequence logos, and p-sites in sequences and 3D structures.
