Protein Networks

Protein Networks

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,...

Assembly of Signaling Complexes

Assembly of Signaling Complexes

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,...

Protein-protein Interfaces

Protein-protein Interfaces

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...

Contact-dependent Signaling

Contact-dependent Signaling

Contact-dependent signaling, as the name suggests, requires that communicating cells be in direct contact with each other. This is achieved either through receptor-ligand interactions or by specialized cytoplasmic channels that allow the flow of small molecules between cells. In animal cells, channels called gap junctions facilitate contact-dependent signaling in certain tissues, whereas, plasmodesmata perform a similar function in plants.

In animal cells, gap junctions are formed...

Nuclear Localization Signals and Import

Nuclear Localization Signals and Import

Proteins targeted to the nucleus carry short stretches of amino acid sequences called the nuclear localization signal or NLS. Classical nuclear localization signals are of two types: monopartite and bipartite NLS. Monopartite classical NLS (cNLS) consists of a single cluster of 4-8 amino acids. Bipartite cNLS consists of two clusters of 2-3 amino acids and a 9-12 residue long proline-rich linker bridging the two clusters. Signal clusters are rich in positively charged amino acids such as...

Background:

Complex networks face challenges in identifying security-critical nodes.
Traditional methods analyzing centrality or security metrics in isolation are insufficient.
Internet of Things (IoT) and Fog Computing increase network complexity and security risks.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose a novel Security-Centric Node Identification method.
To enhance the detection of security-critical nodes in dynamic and complex networks.
To integrate structural importance with real-time security vulnerabilities.

Main Methods:

Developed a Security Centrality (SC) metric integrating multiple centrality measures (degree, betweenness, closeness, eigenvector) with security risks and dynamic factors.
Created efficient algorithms for identifying critical nodes.
Implemented an incremental update mechanism for real-time adaptability.

Main Results:

The proposed method effectively identifies security-critical nodes with high accuracy.
A low false-positive rate was maintained across various network topologies.
Incorporating dynamic factors significantly improved the robustness of node identification.

Conclusions:

The Security-Centric Node Identification method offers a more effective approach to network security.
The method is highly adaptable to real-world, dynamic network security scenarios.
This approach enhances the detection of vulnerabilities in complex, decentralized systems.
