Revealing static and dynamic modular architecture of the eukaryotic protein interaction network.

ABSTRACT: In an effort to understand the dynamic organization of the protein interaction network and its role in the regulation of cell behavior, positioning of proteins into specific network localities was studied with respect to their expression dynamics. First, we find that constitutively expressed and dynamically co-regulated proteins cluster in distinct functionally specialized network neighborhoods to form static and dynamic functional modules, respectively. Then, we show that whereas dynamic modules are mainly responsible for condition-dependent regulation of cell behavior, static modules provide robustness to the cell against genetic perturbations or protein expression noise, and therefore may act as buffers of evolutionary as well as population variations in cell behavior. Observations in this study refine the previously proposed model of dynamic modularity in the protein interaction network, and propose a link between the evolution of gene expression regulation and biological robustness.

Dynamic modular architecture of protein-protein interaction networks beyond the dichotomy of 'date' and 'party' hubs.

Project description:The protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks are dynamically organized as modules, and are typically described by hub dichotomy: 'party' hubs act as intramodule hubs and are coexpressed with their partners, yet 'date' hubs act as coordinators among modules and are incoherently expressed with their partners. However, there remains skepticism about the existence of hub dichotomy. Since different algorithms and data sets were used in previous studies to test the model of hub classification, the conclusions may be largely influenced by the potential inherent biases. In this study, we evaluated two data sets of yeast interactome, and systematically investigated the behavior of hubs from multiple perspectives including co-expression patterns, topological roles and functional classifications. Our results revealed consistency between the two data sets, confirming the presence of hub dichotomy. Furthermore, we analyzed a human interactome data set, and demonstrated that the modular architecture of the PPI networks was more complicated than hub dichotomy.

Molecular Architecture of Spinal Cord Injury Protein Interaction Network.

Project description:Spinal cord injury (SCI) is associated with complex pathophysiological processes that follow the primary traumatic event and determine the extent of secondary damage and functional recovery. Numerous reports have used global and hypothesis-driven approaches to identify protein changes that contribute to the overall pathology of SCI in an effort to identify potential therapeutic interventions. In this study, we use a semi-automatic annotation approach to detect terms referring to genes or proteins dysregulated in the SCI literature and develop a curated SCI interactome. Network analysis of the SCI interactome revealed the presence of a rich-club organization corresponding to a "powerhouse" of highly interacting hub-proteins. Studying the modular organization of the network have shown that rich-club proteins cluster into modules that are specifically enriched for biological processes that fall under the categories of cell death, inflammation, injury recognition and systems development. Pathway analysis of the interactome and the rich-club revealed high similarity indicating the role of the rich-club proteins as hubs of the most prominent pathways in disease pathophysiology and illustrating the centrality of pro-and anti-survival signal competition in the pathology of SCI. In addition, evaluation of centrality measures of single nodes within the rich-club have revealed that neuronal growth factor (NGF), caspase 3, and H-Ras are the most central nodes and potentially an interesting targets for therapy. Our integrative approach uncovers the molecular architecture of SCI interactome, and provide an essential resource for evaluating significant therapeutic candidates.

Revealing the static and dynamic nanomechanical properties of diatom frustules-Nature's glass lace.

Project description:Diatoms are single cell microalgae enclosed in silica exoskeletons (frustules) that provide inspiration for advanced hybrid nanostructure designs mimicking multi-scale porosity to achieve outstanding mechanical and optical properties. Interrogating the structure and properties of diatoms down to nanometer scale leads to breakthrough advances reported here in the nanomechanical characterization of Coscinodiscus oculus-iridis diatom pure silica frustules, as well as of air-dried and wet cells with organic content. Static and dynamic mode Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and in-SEM nanoindentation revealed the peculiarities of diatom response with separate contributions from material nanoscale behavior and membrane deformation of the entire valve. Significant differences in the nanomechanical properties of the different frustule layers were observed. Furthermore, the deformation response depends strongly on silica hydration and on the support from the internal organic content. The cyclic loading revealed that the average compliance of the silica frustule is 0.019 m/N and increases with increasing number of cycles. The structure-mechanical properties relationship has a direct impact on the vibrational properties of the frustule as a complex micrometer-sized mechanical system. Lessons from Nature's nanostructuring of diatoms open up pathways to new generations of nano- and microdevices for electronic, electromechanical, photonic, liquid, energy storage, and other applications.

Relation Extraction of Protein Complexes from Dynamic Protein-Protein Interaction Network.

Project description:BackgroundDynamic protein-protein interaction networks (DPPIN) can confirm the conditional and temporal features of proteins and protein complexes. In addition, the relation of protein complexes in dynamic networks can provide useful information in understanding the dynamic functionality of PPI networks.ObjectiveIn this paper, an algorithm is presented to discover the temporal association rule from the dynamic PPIN dataset.Material and methodsIn this analytical study, the static protein-protein interaction network is transformed into a dynamic network using the gene expression thresholding to extract the protein complex relations. The number of presented proteins of the dynamic network is large at each time point. This number will increase for extraction of multidimensional rules at different times. By mapping the gold standard protein complexes as reference protein complexes, the number of items decreases from active proteins to protein complexes at each transaction. Extracted sub graphs as protein complexes, at each time point, are weighted according to the reference protein complexes similarity degrees. Mega-transactions and extended items are created based on occurrence bitmap matrix of the reference complexes. Rules will be extracted based on Mega-transactions of protein complexes.ResultsThe proposed method has been evaluated using gold standard protein complex rules. The amount of extracted rules from Biogrid datasets and protein complexes are 281, with support 0.2.ConclusionThe characteristic of the proposed algorithm is the simultaneous extraction of intra-transaction and inter-transaction rules. The results evaluation using EBI data shows the efficiency of the proposed algorithm.

Exploring hierarchical and overlapping modular structure in the yeast protein interaction network.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Developing effective strategies to reveal modular structures in protein interaction networks is crucial for better understanding of molecular mechanisms of underlying biological processes. In this paper, we propose a new density-based algorithm (ADHOC) for clustering vertices of a protein interaction network using a novel subgraph density measurement. RESULTS: By statistically evaluating several independent criteria, we found that ADHOC could significantly improve the outcome as compared with five previously reported density-dependent methods. We further applied ADHOC to investigate the hierarchical and overlapping modular structure in the yeast PPI network. Our method could effectively detect both protein modules and the overlaps between them, and thus greatly promote the precise prediction of protein functions. Moreover, by further assaying the intermodule layer of the yeast PPI network, we classified hubs into two types, module hubs and inter-module hubs. Each type presents distinct characteristics both in network topology and biological functions, which could conduce to the better understanding of relationship between network architecture and biological implications. CONCLUSIONS: Our proposed algorithm based on the novel subgraph density measurement makes it possible to more precisely detect hierarchical and overlapping modular structures in protein interaction networks. In addition, our method also shows a strong robustness against the noise in network, which is quite critical for analyzing such a high noise network.

Revealing modular architecture of human brain structural networks by using cortical thickness from MRI.

Project description:Modularity, presumably shaped by evolutionary constraints, underlies the functionality of most complex networks ranged from social to biological networks. However, it remains largely unknown in human cortical networks. In a previous study, we demonstrated a network of correlations of cortical thickness among specific cortical areas and speculated that these correlations reflected an underlying structural connectivity among those brain regions. Here, we further investigated the intrinsic modular architecture of the human brain network derived from cortical thickness measurement. Modules were defined as groups of cortical regions that are connected morphologically to achieve the maximum network modularity. We show that the human cortical network is organized into 6 topological modules that closely overlap known functional domains such as auditory/language, strategic/executive, sensorimotor, visual, and mnemonic processing. The identified structure-based modular architecture may provide new insights into the functionality of cortical regions and connections between structural brain modules. This study provides the first report of modular architecture of the structural network in the human brain using cortical thickness measurements.

The modular architecture of protein-protein binding interfaces.

Project description:Protein-protein interactions are essential for life. Yet, our understanding of the general principles governing binding is not complete. In the present study, we show that the interface between proteins is built in a modular fashion; each module is comprised of a number of closely interacting residues, with few interactions between the modules. The boundaries between modules are defined by clustering the contact map of the interface. We show that mutations in one module do not affect residues located in a neighboring module. As a result, the structural and energetic consequences of the deletion of entire modules are surprisingly small. To the contrary, within their module, mutations cause complex energetic and structural consequences. Experimentally, this phenomenon is shown on the interaction between TEM1-beta-lactamase and beta-lactamase inhibitor protein (BLIP) by using multiple-mutant analysis and x-ray crystallography. Replacing an entire module of five interface residues with Ala created a large cavity in the interface, with no effect on the detailed structure of the remaining interface. The modular architecture of binding sites, which resembles human engineering design, greatly simplifies the design of new protein interactions and provides a feasible view of how these interactions evolved.

Modular architecture of eukaryotic RNase P and RNase MRP revealed by electron microscopy.

Project description:Ribonuclease P (RNase P) and RNase MRP are closely related ribonucleoprotein enzymes, which process RNA substrates including tRNA precursors for RNase P and 5.8 S rRNA precursors, as well as some mRNAs, for RNase MRP. The structures of RNase P and RNase MRP have not yet been solved, so it is unclear how the proteins contribute to the structure of the complexes and how substrate specificity is determined. Using electron microscopy and image processing we show that eukaryotic RNase P and RNase MRP have a modular architecture, where proteins stabilize the RNA fold and contribute to cavities, channels and chambers between the modules. Such features are located at strategic positions for substrate recognition by shape and coordination of the cleaved-off sequence. These are also the sites of greatest difference between RNase P and RNase MRP, highlighting the importance of the adaptation of this region to the different substrates.

Revealing Dynamic Protein Acetylation across Subcellular Compartments.

Project description:Protein acetylation is a widespread post-translational modification implicated in many cellular processes. Recent advances in mass spectrometry have enabled the cataloging of thousands of sites throughout the cell; however, identifying regulatory acetylation marks have proven to be a daunting task. Knowledge of the kinetics and stoichiometry of site-specific acetylation is an important factor to uncover function. Here, an improved method of quantifying acetylation stoichiometry was developed and validated, providing a detailed landscape of dynamic acetylation stoichiometry within cellular compartments. The dynamic nature of site-specific acetylation in response to serum stimulation was revealed. In two distinct human cell lines, growth factor stimulation led to site-specific, temporal acetylation changes, revealing diverse kinetic profiles that clustered into several groups. Overlap of dynamic acetylation sites among two different human cell lines suggested similar regulatory control points across major cellular pathways that include splicing, translation, and protein homeostasis. Rapid increases in acetylation on protein translational machinery suggest a positive regulatory role under progrowth conditions. Finally, higher median stoichiometry was observed in cellular compartments where active acetyltransferases are well described. Data sets can be accessed through ProteomExchange via the MassIVE repository (ProteomExchange: PXD014453; MassIVE: MSV000084029).

A quantitative chaperone interaction network reveals the architecture of cellular protein homeostasis pathways.

Project description:Chaperones are abundant cellular proteins that promote the folding and function of their substrate proteins (clients). In vivo, chaperones also associate with a large and diverse set of cofactors (cochaperones) that regulate their specificity and function. However, how these cochaperones regulate protein folding and whether they have chaperone-independent biological functions is largely unknown. We combined mass spectrometry and quantitative high-throughput LUMIER assays to systematically characterize the chaperone-cochaperone-client interaction network in human cells. We uncover hundreds of chaperone clients, delineate their participation in specific cochaperone complexes, and establish a surprisingly distinct network of protein-protein interactions for cochaperones. As a salient example of the power of such analysis, we establish that NUDC family cochaperones specifically associate with structurally related but evolutionarily distinct ?-propeller folds. We provide a framework for deciphering the proteostasis network and its regulation in development and disease and expand the use of chaperones as sensors for drug-target engagement.
