Protein-protein Interfaces02:04

Protein-protein Interfaces

12.5K
Many proteins form complexes to carry out their functions, making protein-protein interactions (PPIs) essential for an organism's survival. Most PPIs are stabilized by numerous weak noncovalent chemical forces. The physical shape of the interfaces determines the way two proteins interact. Many globular proteins have closely-matching shapes on their surfaces, which form a large number of weak bonds. Additionally, many PPIs occur between two helices or between a surface cleft and a...

Protein Networks

3.7K
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,...

Conserved Binding Sites

4.1K
Many proteins’ biological role depends on their interactions with their ligands, small molecules that bind to specific locations on the protein known as ligand-binding sites. Ligand-binding sites are often conserved among homologous proteins as these sites are critical for protein function.
Binding sites are often located in large pockets, and if their location on a protein’s surface is unknown, it can be predicted using various approaches. The energetic method computationally...

Protein Families02:47

Protein Families

13.3K
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...

    Area of Science:

    • Bioinformatics
    • Computational Biology
    • Systems Biology

    Background:

    • Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are vital for cellular functions.
    • Experimental PPI detection is costly, time-consuming, and prone to errors.
    • Existing computational methods often lack species support and require extensive data.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop an open-source framework, ppiPre, for predicting protein-protein interactions (PPIs).
    • To evaluate the predictive abilities of heterogeneous features for different PPI data types.
    • To provide a versatile tool supporting multiple species and requiring minimal input data.

    Main Methods:

    • Integration of heterogeneous features: Gene Ontology (GO)-based semantic similarities, KEGG pathway similarity, and network topology-based similarities.
    • Application of the ppiPre framework to binary and co-complex gold-standard yeast PPI datasets.
    • Comparative analysis of feature predictive power across different PPI datasets.

    Main Results:

    • The ppiPre framework supports up to twenty species, requiring only original and gold-standard PPI data.
    • Significant differences in feature predictive abilities were observed across different PPI data types.
    • The framework demonstrated robust performance on both binary and co-complex yeast PPI datasets of varying sizes.

    Conclusions:

    • Different Gene Ontology (GO) aspects are optimal for distinct data types; combining all three GO aspects generally yields the best predictions.
    • Network topology-based features are highly effective for predicting co-complex PPIs.
    • The ppiPre framework offers valuable functions for PPI data analysis and prediction across multiple species.
