Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) play an essential role in many biological cellular functions. However, it is still tedious and time-consuming to identify protein-protein interactions through traditional experimental methods. For this reason, it is imperative and necessary to develop a computational method for predicting PPIs efficiently. This paper explores a novel computational method for detecting PPIs from protein sequence, the approach which mainly adopts the feature extraction method: Locality Preserving Projections (LPP) and classifier: Rotation Forest (RF). Specifically, we first employ the Position Specific Scoring Matrix (PSSM), which can remain evolutionary information of biological for representing protein sequence efficiently. Then, the LPP descriptor is applied to extract feature vectors from PSSM. The feature vectors are fed into the RF to obtain the final results. The proposed method is applied to two datasets: Yeast and H. pylori, and obtained an average accuracy of 92.81% and 92.56%, respectively. We also compare it with K nearest neighbors (KNN) and support vector machine (SVM) to better evaluate the performance of the proposed method. In summary, all experimental results indicate that the proposed approach is stable and robust for predicting PPIs and promising to be a useful tool for proteomics research.
