# SPPIDER-seq Datasets

Datasets used for training, validation, blind testing, and benchmarking of the
SPPIDER-seq partner-aware protein–protein interaction site prediction models.

For the software, documentation, and usage instructions, see the
[SPPIDER-seq GitHub repository](https://github.com/aporollo-lab/SPPIDER-seq).

For the current pretrained models, see the
[SPPIDER-seq model repository](https://huggingface.co/aporollo-lab/SPPIDER-seq).

Please cite the SPPIDER-seq publication when using these datasets:
> Porollo A, Jadhav O, Alvarez A, Chen J. **SPPIDER-seq: sequence-based partner-aware predictor of protein–protein interaction sites.** *Bioinformatics*. 2026;42(7):btag388. https://doi.org/10.1093/bioinformatics/btag388

## 1. Dataset prefixes and model usage

Files with different prefixes correspond to different model variants:

* Files starting with the prefix **`rec_`** were used for training, validation, and benchmarking of the **receptor-centric model**.

* Files starting with the prefix **`pep_`** were used for training, validation, and benchmarking of the **peptide-centric model**.

---

## 2. Pair definition files (`.tsv`)

Files with the `.tsv` extension define protein–peptide pairs used for different stages of model development:

* `*_train.tsv` — training dataset
* `*_val.tsv` — validation dataset used during training
* `*_blind.tsv` — blind benchmark dataset not seen during training or validation

Each `.tsv` file contains exactly two tab-separated columns:

1. `receptor_id` — identifier of the receptor sequence entry
2. `peptide_id` — identifier of the peptide or ligand sequence entry

Each row defines one receptor–peptide interaction pair. The corresponding full-length sequences and residue-level PPI annotations are provided in the associated ground-truth annotation files.

---

## 3. Sequence naming convention

Protein sequences in the `.tsv` files follow the naming convention:

```

PDBcode_ChainID|UniProtID|ChainPair

```

where:

* **PDBcode**
  Indicates the PDB entry from which the interacting protein pair was derived.

* **ChainID**
  Specifies the chain identifier corresponding to the sequence listed.

* **UniProtID**
  Identifies the UniProt accession from which the full-length reference sequence was obtained.

* **ChainPair**
  Describes the interaction context within the PDB complex.
  The first chain ID always corresponds to the **receptor** chain, and the second chain ID corresponds to the **ligand (peptide)** chain.

If multiple chain pairs within the same PDB entry are identical in sequence and interaction context, they are listed as multiple `ChainPair` entries separated by the `=` character.

### Example protein–protein pairs

```

1ca9_A|Q12933|AG=EG    1ca9_G|P20333|AG=EG

1cg9_A|P01889|AC       1cg9_C|P03204|AC

1d8d_A|Q04631|AP       1d8d_P|P01116|AP

1d8d_B|Q02293|BP       1d8d_P|P01116|BP

1ddv_A|Q9Z214|AB       1ddv_B|P31424|AB

1ds5_A|P28523|AE=BE    1ds5_E|P67870|AE=BE

```

---

## 4. Ground-truth PPI site annotation files (`.txt`)

Files with the `.txt` extension contain residue-level ground-truth PPI site annotations derived from PDB structures.

Each protein entry consists of **four consecutive lines**:

1. **Header line**
   Starts with the `>` character and contains the protein sequence name.

2. **Full-length sequence**
   The complete protein sequence derived from the corresponding UniProt ID.

3. **PDB-derived sequence**
   The protein sequence extracted from the PDB entry and specified chain, aligned to the full-length UniProt reference sequence.
   Missing or unresolved residues are represented by `-` characters.

4. **Ground-truth PPI annotation**
   A position-wise binary annotation indicating the PPI site state for each residue in the given interaction context (chain pair).
   Interacting residues are marked with `1`, non-interacting residues with `0`.
