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

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

python

import torch

from esm.tokenization import EsmSequenceTokenizer

from esmc_function_classifier.model import EsmcGoTermClassifier

model_name = "andrewdalpino/ESMC-600M-QAT-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.

pip install obonet

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)
