ESM-2 for Protein Function Prediction

Please also see the more recent fine-tuned model AmelieSchreiber/esm2_t6_8M_finetuned_cafa5.

This model is not intended for protein function prediction, but rather as a checkpoint for further fine-tuning, especially with Low Rank Adaptation (LoRA). This is an experimental model fine-tuned from the esm2_t6_8M_UR50D model for multi-label classification. In particular, the model is fine-tuned on the CAFA-5 protein sequence dataset available here. More precisely, the train_sequences.fasta file is the list of protein sequences that were trained on, and the train_terms.tsv file contains the gene ontology protein function labels for each protein sequence. For more details on using ESM-2 models for multi-label sequence classification, see here. Due to the potentially complicated class weighting necessary for the hierarchical ontology, further fine-tuning will be necessary.

Fine-Tuning

The model was fine-tuned for 7 epochs at a learning rate of 5e-5, and achieves the following metrics:

Validation Loss: 0.0027,
Validation Micro F1: 0.3672,
Validation Macro F1: 0.9967,
Validation Micro Precision: 0.6052,
Validation Macro Precision: 0.9996,
Validation Micro Recall: 0.2626,
Validation Macro Recall: 0.9966

Using the model

First, download the train_sequences.fasta file and the train_terms.tsv file, and provide the local paths in the code below:

import os
import numpy as np
import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, EsmForSequenceClassification, AdamW
from torch.nn.functional import binary_cross_entropy_with_logits
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
from sklearn.metrics import f1_score, precision_score, recall_score
# from accelerate import Accelerator
from Bio import SeqIO

# Step 1: Data Preprocessing (Replace with your local paths)
fasta_file = "/Users/amelieschreiber/.cursor-tutor/projects/python/cafa5/cafa-5-protein-function-prediction/Train/train_sequences.fasta"
tsv_file = "/Users/amelieschreiber/.cursor-tutor/projects/python/cafa5/cafa-5-protein-function-prediction/Train/train_terms.tsv"

fasta_data = {}
tsv_data = {}

for record in SeqIO.parse(fasta_file, "fasta"):
    fasta_data[record.id] = str(record.seq)

with open(tsv_file, 'r') as f:
    for line in f:
        parts = line.strip().split("\t")
        tsv_data[parts[0]] = parts[1:]

# tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("facebook/esm2_t6_8M_UR50D")
seq_length = 1022
# tokenized_data = tokenizer(list(fasta_data.values()), padding=True, truncation=True, return_tensors="pt", max_length=seq_length)

unique_terms = list(set(term for terms in tsv_data.values() for term in terms))

Second, downlowd the file go-basic.obo from here and store the file locally, then provide the local path in the the code below:

import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, EsmForSequenceClassification
from sklearn.metrics import precision_recall_fscore_support

# 1. Parsing the go-basic.obo file
def parse_obo_file(file_path):
    with open(file_path, 'r') as f:
        data = f.read().split("[Term]")
        
    terms = []
    for entry in data[1:]:
        lines = entry.strip().split("\n")
        term = {}
        for line in lines:
            if line.startswith("id:"):
                term["id"] = line.split("id:")[1].strip()
            elif line.startswith("name:"):
                term["name"] = line.split("name:")[1].strip()
            elif line.startswith("namespace:"):
                term["namespace"] = line.split("namespace:")[1].strip()
            elif line.startswith("def:"):
                term["definition"] = line.split("def:")[1].split('"')[1]
        terms.append(term)
    return terms

parsed_terms = parse_obo_file("go-basic.obo")  # Replace `go-basic.obo` with your path

# 2. Load the saved model and tokenizer
model_path = "AmelieSchreiber/cafa_5_protein_function_prediction"
loaded_model = EsmForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(model_path)
loaded_tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_path)

# 3. The predict_protein_function function
def predict_protein_function(sequence, model, tokenizer, go_terms):
    inputs = tokenizer(sequence, return_tensors="pt", padding=True, truncation=True, max_length=1022)
    model.eval()
    with torch.no_grad():
        outputs = model(**inputs)
        predictions = torch.sigmoid(outputs.logits)
        predicted_indices = torch.where(predictions > 0.05)[1].tolist()
    
    functions = []
    for idx in predicted_indices:
        term_id = unique_terms[idx]  # Use the unique_terms list from your training script
        for term in go_terms:
            if term["id"] == term_id:
                functions.append(term["name"])
                break
                
    return functions

# 4. Predicting protein function for an example sequence
example_sequence = "MAYLGSLVQRRLELASGDRLEASLGVGSELDVRGDRVKAVGSLDLEEGRLEQAGVSMA"  # Replace with your protein sequence
predicted_functions = predict_protein_function(example_sequence, loaded_model, loaded_tokenizer, parsed_terms)
print(predicted_functions)

Inference Examples
This model does not have enough activity to be deployed to Inference API (serverless) yet. Increase its social visibility and check back later, or deploy to Inference Endpoints (dedicated) instead.
