piRNA - Piwi-interacting RNAs02:57

piRNA - Piwi-interacting RNAs

7.6K
PIWI-interacting RNAs, or piRNAs, are the most abundant short non-coding RNAs. More than 20,000 genes have been found in humans that code for piRNAs while only 2000 genes have been found for miRNAs. piRNAs can act at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels and have a vital role in silencing transposable elements present in germ cells. They are also involved in epigenetic silencing and activation. Previously, they were thought to function only in germ cells but new evidence suggests...

Factors Affecting Protein-Drug Binding: Drug Interactions

576
Drug interactions are a critical aspect of pharmacology and can occur when two or more drugs compete for the same binding site. This competition can result in one drug displacing another, altering the effect of the displaced drug. Drug interactions are complex processes that rely heavily on how much of the displacer drug is present and how strongly it can bind to the same sites as the displaced drug.
Displacement interactions can have varying outcomes, ranging from toxicity to virtually...

Protein-protein Interfaces02:04

Protein-protein Interfaces

14.6K
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 Kinases and Phosphatases02:54

Protein Kinases and Phosphatases

15.0K
Proteins undergo chemical modifications that trigger changes in the charge, structure, and conformation of the proteins. Phosphorylation, acetylation, glycosylation, nitrosylation, ubiquitination, lipidation, methylation, and proteolysis are various protein modifications that regulate protein activity. Such modifications are usually enzyme-driven.
Protein kinases
Many proteins in the cell are regulated by phosphorylation, the addition of a phosphate group. A family of enzymes called kinases...

Protein and Protein Structure02:15

Protein and Protein Structure

87.1K
Proteins are one of the most abundant organic molecules in living systems and have the most diverse range of functions of all macromolecules. Proteins may be structural, regulatory, contractile, or protective. They may serve in transport, storage, or membranes; or they may be toxins or enzymes. Their structures, like their functions, vary greatly. They are all, however, amino acid polymers arranged in a linear sequence.
A protein's shape is critical to its function. For example, an enzyme...

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:

  • Genomics
  • Systems Biology
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Current cancer research often overlooks the impact of mutations on protein-protein interactions and network dynamics.
  • Existing methods primarily focus on gene/protein effects or differential expression, neglecting specific interaction disruptions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel method for predicting the disruption of specific protein-protein interactions in cancer using somatic mutation data.
  • To integrate protein interaction networks with mutation data to analyze cancer at a deeper mechanistic level.

Main Methods:

  • Extended standard network smoothing techniques to assign scores to edges (interactions) in protein networks.
  • Utilized somatic mutation data as input to quantify the proximity of each edge to mutations in individual cancer samples.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated significant associations between predicted disrupted edges and patient survival in breast cancer.
  • Identified known ligand binding site mutations and provided in-silico evidence for inferring novel disrupted interactions.
  • Offered mechanistic explanations for how mutations impact key cancer pathways.

Conclusions:

  • The developed method effectively identifies disruptions in protein interactions, including those from known mutations.
  • The approach successfully selects novel, clinically significant interactions for further investigation.
  • Software and data are available to support the method's application and reproducibility.
