Covalently Linked Protein Regulators

Covalently Linked Protein Regulators

Proteins can undergo many types of post-translational modifications, often in response to changes in their environment. These modifications play an important role in the function and stability of these proteins. Covalently linked molecules include functional groups, such as methyl, acetyl, and phosphate groups, and also small proteins, such as ubiquitin. There are around 200 different types of covalent regulators that have been identified.
These groups modify specific amino acids in a protein.

Protein Families

Protein Families

Protein families are groups of homologous proteins; that is, they have similarities in amino acid sequences and three-dimensional structures. Protein families usually occur because of gene duplication, where an additional copy of a gene is inserted into the genome of an organism. Mutations that change the amino acids but still allow the protein to be properly synthesized, will lead to new protein family members. If these new proteins contain similar amino acids in key locations, protein...

Protein Networks

Protein Networks

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,...

Gene Families

Gene Families

Gene families consist of groups of genes proposed to have originated from a common ancestor. Typically these arise through events in which a gene or genes are mistakenly duplicated during cell division. Unlike their parent genes (which are subject to selection pressure to maintain function), these gene copies do not need to preserve their sequences and may evolve at a relatively faster rate.
Occasionally these regions can be adapted to take on new roles within the organism, becoming novel genes...

Molecular Models

Molecular Models

Physical models representing molecular architectures of chemical compounds play essential roles in understanding chemistry. The use of molecular models makes it easier to visualize the structures and shapes of atoms and molecules.

Area of Science:

Bioinformatics
Computational Biology
Systems Biology

Background:

Biomedical ontologies and computational pathway models are rapidly expanding, offering valuable insights into molecular processes.
Current data sharing relies on web resources, but a lack of standard formats hinders scalable information integration due to differing objectives and abstraction levels.
Semantic web technologies offer a potential solution to bridge these data integration challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

To address the lack of standard formats in biomedical data integration.
To develop a system for abstracting and combining information from diverse biomedical resources.
To create a coherent ontology and semantic dictionary for molecular pathways and species interactions.

Main Methods:

Developed the Ontology Reasoning Engine for Molecular Pathways (OREMP) using an extensible interpreter collection.
OREMP abstracts information from various resources and integrates it into a unified ontology.
The OREMPdb system links species to external ontologies and reactions, forming species-sets and computing all reaction paths between them.

Main Results:

OREMP was applied to the BioModels database (2011/04/15 release), encompassing 326 models, 9244 reactions, and 5636 species.
The resulting semantic dictionary, OREMPdb, contains 7360 species-sets.
Each species-set in OREMPdb is linked to its original pathway and the source publication.

Conclusions:

OREMPdb successfully integrates information from disparate biomedical ontologies and pathway models.
The system provides a standardized semantic dictionary, facilitating knowledge discovery and reuse.
This approach enhances the scalability and coherence of biomedical knowledge repositories.
