Protein Networks02:26

Protein Networks

4.6K
An organism can have thousands of different proteins, and these proteins must cooperate to ensure the health of an organism. Proteins bind to other proteins and form complexes to carry out their functions. Many proteins interact with multiple other proteins creating a complex network of protein interactions.
These interactions can be represented through maps depicting protein-protein interaction networks, represented as nodes and edges. Nodes are circles that are representative of a protein,...

Protein Complex Assembly

16.8K
Proteins can form homomeric complexes with another unit of the same protein or heteromeric complexes with different types.  Most protein complexes self-assemble spontaneously via ordered pathways, while some proteins need assembly factors that guide their proper assembly. Despite the crowded intracellular environment, proteins usually interact with their correct partners and form functional complexes.
Many viruses self-assemble into a fully functional unit using the infected host cell to...

Molecular Chaperones and Protein Folding

19.9K
The native conformation of a protein is formed by interactions between the side chains of its constituent amino acids. When the amino acids cannot form these interactions, the protein cannot fold by itself and needs chaperones. Notably, chaperones do not relay any additional information required for the folding of polypeptides; the native conformation of a protein is determined solely by its amino acid sequence. Chaperones catalyze protein folding without being a part of the folded protein.

Area of Science:

  • Proteomics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Systems Biology

Background:

  • Advances in proteomics technologies enable mapping of biomolecular interaction networks.
  • Large datasets necessitate computational methods for storage, visualization, and analysis.
  • Effective knowledge discovery relies on robust data analysis tools.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel graph theoretic clustering algorithm, Molecular Complex Detection (MCODE).
  • To identify densely connected regions in protein-protein interaction networks representing molecular complexes.
  • To provide a computational tool for analyzing large-scale interaction data.

Main Methods:

  • Developed MCODE, a graph theoretic clustering algorithm.
  • Employs vertex weighting by local neighborhood density and outward traversal.
  • Features a directed mode for fine-tuning clusters and examining interconnectivity.

Main Results:

  • MCODE successfully detects densely connected regions in protein-protein interaction networks.
  • Identified regions often correspond to known protein complexes.
  • The algorithm is robust against false positives common in high-throughput data.

Conclusions:

  • Dense regions in protein interaction networks can be identified using connectivity data alone.
  • MCODE accurately finds molecular complexes and is resilient to data noise.
  • The MCODE program is publicly available for research use.
