Protein-protein Interfaces02:04

Protein-protein Interfaces

15.0K
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

4.7K
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,...

Ligand Binding Sites02:40

Ligand Binding Sites

15.8K
Proteins are dynamic macromolecules that carry out a wide variety of essential processes; however, the activities of most proteins depend on their interactions with other molecules or ions, known as ligands.
Protein-ligand interactions are quite specific; even though numerous potential ligands surround a cellular protein at any given time, only a particular ligand can bind to that protein. Moreover, a ligand binds only to a dedicated area on the surface of the protein, known as the...

Proteomics01:33

Proteomics

10.2K
A proteome is the entire set of proteins that a cell type produces. We can study proteomes using the knowledge of genomes because genes code for mRNAs, and the mRNAs encode proteins. Although mRNA analysis is a step in the right direction, not all mRNAs are translated into proteins.
Proteomics is the study of proteomes' function. It involves the large-scale systematic study of the proteome to denote the protein complement expressed by a genome. Scientist Mark Wilkins coined the term...

Area of Science:

  • Computational biology
  • Drug discovery
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Interactome studies generate large datasets, revealing diverse protein-protein interactions (PPIs) as potential drug targets.
  • Inhibiting PPIs offers improved specificity and broader target search space compared to single protein inhibition.
  • Drug target discovery is challenging, necessitating computational methods for efficient candidate identification.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a machine learning method for predicting protein-protein interactions (PPIs) as drug targets on a genomic scale.
  • To uncover potential associations between drugs and PPIs for accelerated drug target discovery.

Main Methods:

  • Constructed a gold-standard dataset of 227 drug-PPI associations involving 63 PPIs and 113 FDA-approved drugs.
  • Characterized drugs by chemical structure, ATC codes, and side effects; represented PPI similarity using an S-kernel based on amino acid sequence.
  • Utilized Kronecker product kernel for drug-PPI correlation and a support vector machine (SVM) for prediction.

Main Results:

  • Validated the PrePPItar method using cross-validation on the gold-standard dataset.
  • Confirmed that drug chemical structure, ATC codes, and side-effect information are predictive of PPI targets.
  • Demonstrated that integrating multiple data sources enhances PPI target prediction coverage.

Conclusions:

  • PrePPItar serves as a valuable tool for identifying protein-protein interaction targets in drug discovery.
  • The method provides a general framework for integrating heterogeneous data in drug target discovery.
