Intracellular Signaling Cascades01:24

Intracellular Signaling Cascades

53.5K
Once a ligand binds to a receptor, the signal is transmitted through the membrane and into the cytoplasm. The continuation of a signal in this manner is called signal transduction. Signal transduction only occurs with cell-surface receptors, which cannot interact with most components of the cell, such as DNA. Only internal receptors can interact directly with DNA in the nucleus to initiate protein synthesis. When a ligand binds to its receptor, conformational changes occur that affect the...

Rab Cascades01:25

Rab Cascades

3.5K
Rab GTPases act in a regulated cascade during membrane fusion, helping the lipid bilayers mix. The Rab family of proteins are active when bound to GTP, and inactive when bound to GDP. Hence, they act as guanine nucleotide-dependent molecular switches. Rab-GTP recognizes and binds to long or short-range tethering proteins to capture the target vesicle. These tethers coordinate with SNAREs on the vesicle and the target membrane to assemble the trans SNARE complex that locks the mixing bilayers.

Cascaded Op Amps01:16

Cascaded Op Amps

1.1K
Operational amplifiers (op-amps) are versatile electronic components that can be interconnected in a cascade - one after another in a linear sequence. This cascading is possible due to their infinite input resistance and zero output resistance, allowing them to maintain their input-output relationships even when connected in series.
In a cascaded system, each op-amp is referred to as a stage. The output of one stage drives the input of the subsequent stage. As the input signal passes through...

MAPK Signaling Cascades01:07

MAPK Signaling Cascades

8.1K
Mitogen-activated protein kinase, or MAPK pathway, activates three sequential kinases to regulate cellular responses such as proliferation, differentiation, survival, and apoptosis. The canonical MAPK pathway starts with a mitogen or growth factor binding to an RTK. The activated RTKs stimulate Ras, which recruits Raf or MAP3 Kinase (MAPKKK), the first kinase of the MAPK signaling cascade. Raf further phosphorylates and activates MEK or MAP2 Kinases (MAPKK), which in turn phosphorylates MAP...

Amplifying Signals via Enzymatic Cascade01:22

Amplifying Signals via Enzymatic Cascade

17.6K
When a ligand binds to a cell-surface receptor, the receptor's intracellular domain changes shape, which may either activate its enzyme function or allow its binding to other molecules. The initial signal is amplified by most signal transduction pathways. This means that a single ligand molecule can activate multiple molecules of a downstream target. Proteins that relay a signal are most commonly phosphorylated at one or more sites, activating or inactivating the protein. Kinases catalyze...

Protein Networks02:26

Protein Networks

4.5K
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,...

Area of Science:

  • Network Science
  • Computational Biology
  • Data Science

Background:

  • Understanding propagation dynamics requires knowledge of the underlying network structure.
  • Network reconstruction is often an inverse problem due to indirect or partial observations of dynamics.
  • Direct network information is not always available, necessitating inference from observed activity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a method for reconstructing interaction networks from limited observational data.
  • To simultaneously infer the complete time course of activation spreading.
  • To assess the information content of different observation types for network inference.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a belief propagation approximation for network inference.
  • Employed single epoch (snapshot) or time-scattered observations of activity cascades.
  • Modeled the posterior distribution of trajectories conditioned to observations for incomplete time-series data.

Main Results:

  • Successfully reconstructed entire interaction networks and inferred activation spreading dynamics.
  • Demonstrated the method's accuracy even with incomplete time-series data.
  • Found that sparse observations or single snapshots contain more information than full cascades for network inference.

Conclusions:

  • Network structure and dynamics can be inferred from limited, sparse observations.
  • Belief propagation offers a robust framework for network reconstruction with incomplete data.
  • Sparse data strategies are more efficient for network inference than collecting complete cascade data.
