ESMC Protein Function Predictor

An Evolutionary-scale Model (ESM) for protein function prediction from amino acid sequences using the Gene Ontology (GO). Based on the ESM Cambrian Transformer architecture, pre-trained on UniRef, MGnify, and the Joint Genome Institute's database and fine-tuned on the AmiGO Boost protein function dataset, this model predicts the GO subgraph for a particular protein sequence - giving you insight into the molecular function, biological process, and location of the activity inside the cell.

What are GO terms?

"The Gene Ontology (GO) is a concept hierarchy that describes the biological function of genes and gene products at different levels of abstraction (Ashburner et al., 2000). It is a good model to describe the multi-faceted nature of protein function."

"GO is a directed acyclic graph. The nodes in this graph are functional descriptors (terms or classes) connected by relational ties between them (is_a, part_of, etc.). For example, terms 'protein binding activity' and 'binding activity' are related by an is_a relationship; however, the edge in the graph is often reversed to point from binding towards protein binding. This graph contains three subgraphs (subontologies): Molecular Function (MF), Biological Process (BP), and Cellular Component (CC), defined by their root nodes. Biologically, each subgraph represent a different aspect of the protein's function: what it does on a molecular level (MF), which biological processes it participates in (BP) and where in the cell it is located (CC)."

Basic Pretrained Example

First, install the esmc_function_classifier package using pip.

pip install esmc_function_classifier obonet

Then, we'll load the model weights from HuggingFace Hub and the GO graph using obonet, tokenize the amino acid sequence, and infer the GO subgraph.

python

import torch

from esm.tokenization import EsmSequenceTokenizer

from esmc_function_classifier.model import EsmcGoTermClassifier

model_name = "andrewdalpino/ESMC-600M-Protein-Function"

sequence = "MPPKGHKKTADGDFRPVNSAGNTIQAKQKYSIDDLLYPKSTIKNLAKETLPDDAIISKDALTAIQRAATLFVSYMASHGNASAEAGGRKKIT"

top_p = 0.5

tokenizer = EsmSequenceTokenizer()

model = EsmcGoTermClassifier.from_pretrained(model_name)

out = tokenizer(sequence, max_length=2048, truncation=True)

input_ids = torch.tensor(out["input_ids"], dtype=torch.int64)

go_term_probabilities = model.predict_terms(
    input_ids, top_p=top_p
)

You can also output the gene-ontology (GO) networkx subgraph for a given sequence like in the example below. You'll need an up-to-date gene ontology database that you can import using the obonet package.

python

import networkx as nx

import obonet

# Visit https://geneontology.org/docs/download-ontology/ to download.
go_db_path = "./dataset/go-basic.obo"

graph = obonet.read_obo(go_db_path)

model.load_gene_ontology(graph)

subgraph, go_term_probabilities = model.predict_subgraph(
    input_ids, top_p=top_p
)

json = nx.node_link_data(subgraph)

print(json)

Quantized Model

To quantize the model weights using int8 call the quantize_weights() method. Any model can be quantized, but we recommend one that has been quantization-aware trained (QAT) for the best performance. The group_size argument controls the granularity at which quantization scales are computed.

model.quantize_weights(group_size=64)
