Protein Networks02:26

Protein Networks

3.9K
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 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 Complexes with Interchangeable Parts01:57

Protein Complexes with Interchangeable Parts

2.5K
Groups of proteins may form a complex where each protein in this complex has a different role in the overall execution of the complex’s function. Often some of the proteins in the complex can be replaced by a closely related variant to give a complex that contains many of the same components yet is functionally distinct.
The SCF ubiquitin ligase is a protein complex of five individual proteins. This complex attaches ubiquitin to other target proteins to mark them for degradation. In order...

Molecular Models02:00

Molecular Models

37.9K
Physical models representing molecular architectures of chemical compounds play essential roles in understanding chemistry. The use of molecular models makes it easier to visualize the structures and shapes of atoms and molecules.

Assembly of Signaling Complexes01:30

Assembly of Signaling Complexes

5.7K
Multiprotein signaling complexes are formed in a dynamic process involving protein-protein interactions at the cytoplasmic domain of transmembrane receptors or enzymatic and non-enzymatic proteins associated with the receptor. These complexes ensure the activation and propagation of intracellular signals that regulate cell functions.
Interaction domains in cell signaling
Interaction domains recognize exposed features of their binding partners containing post-translationally modified sequences,...

Interactions Between Signaling Pathways01:19

Interactions Between Signaling Pathways

6.2K
Signaling cascades usually lack linearity. Multiple pathways interact and regulate one another, allowing cells to integrate and respond to diverse environmental stimuli.
Convergence and divergence, and cross-talk between signaling pathways
Two distinct signaling pathways can converge on a single functional unit, which may either be a single protein or a complex of proteins. The response is either functionally distinct or synergistic between the two pathways but different from the response...

Area of Science:

  • Computational Biology
  • Systems Biology
  • Genomics

Background:

  • Protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks are crucial for understanding cellular functions.
  • Existing PPI databases primarily cover well-studied model organisms.
  • Experimental data is scarce for most species, limiting network analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a computational method for inferring PPI networks in non-model organisms.
  • To uncover functional relationships and biological organization in species lacking experimental interaction data.
  • To enable functional annotation of uncharacterized proteins through network analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Coupled deep learning for de novo network inference with spectral clustering.
  • Developed the ReCIPE algorithm to reconnect disconnected clusters.
  • Utilized hmmscan and GODomainMiner for remote homology-based functional annotation.
  • Applied "function by association" to assign functions to uncharacterized proteins.

Main Results:

  • Successfully inferred functional protein-protein interaction networks in coral (P. damicornis), its symbiont (C. goreaui), and fruit fly (D. melanogaster).
  • Identified highly coherent functional modules and assigned functions to previously uncharacterized proteins.
  • Demonstrated strong correlation between inferred clusters and gene co-expression in P. damicornis.
  • Uncovered clusters involved in temperature regulation in coral, including novel protein annotations.

Conclusions:

  • PHILHARMONIC provides an accessible, end-to-end solution for biological discovery in non-model organisms.
  • The method generates robust functional modules and facilitates hypothesis generation.
  • Enables large-scale functional annotation and network analysis from sequenced proteomes.
