Enhancing Protein-Protein Interaction Prediction with Hierarchical Motif-based Multimodal Protein Embedding
Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are essential for many biological processes. However, existing PPI prediction approaches suffer from two major limitations: they overlook the hierarchical organization of proteins, particularly meso-scale motifs that critically regulate PPIs, and fail to effectively integrate sequence, structure, and function modalities. To address these limitations, we propose MMM-PPI, a Hierarchical Motif-based Multi-Modal protein Encoder for PPI Prediction that constructs PPI embeddings in a bottom-up multi-modal manner across three scales. At the micro-scale, we encode three modal residue features; at the meso-scale, a novel multimodal motif encoder aggregates resid...
