Protein Networks

3.6K
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-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...

Tagging and Fusion Proteins

6.3K
Proteins are involved in several cellular processes and biochemical reactions. Analyzing a specific protein of interest requires it to be isolated from the other proteins in the cell. This is achieved by overexpressing the specific gene in a suitable host to produce large quantities of the target protein. A tag or label is recombined with the gene to produce a fusion protein containing the target protein and the tag. The tags on these fusion proteins can then be used for easy detection and...

  • To compare the performance of popular APMS data analysis algorithms (HGSCore, CompPASS, SAINT).
  • To enhance the accuracy of PPI identification by integrating complementary biological data.
  • To develop a user-friendly computational tool for improved APMS data analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative analysis of HGSCore, CompPASS, and SAINT algorithms.
  • Integration of indirect evidence, including mRNA coexpression, gene ontologies, domain-domain binding, and homologous interactions.
  • Development of logistic regression models incorporating APMS scores and indirect features.
  • Creation of the Spotlite web application for data scoring, annotation, and visualization.

Main Results:

  • Complementarity observed between HGSCore, CompPASS, and SAINT algorithms.
  • Average 16% increase in area under the receiver operating characteristics curve by integrating indirect data.
  • Developed three augmented classifiers demonstrating improved performance across diverse APMS datasets.
