A multiobjective approach for identifying protein complexes and studying their association in multiple disorders.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Detecting protein complexes within protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks is a major step toward the analysis of biological processes and pathways. Identification and characterization of protein complexes in PPI network is an ongoing challenge. Several high-throughput experimental techniques provide substantial number of PPIs which are widely utilized for compiling the PPI network of a species. RESULTS:Here we focus on detecting human protein complexes by developing a multiobjective framework. For this large human PPI network is partitioned into modules which serves as protein complex. For building the objective functions we have utilized topological properties of PPI network and biological properties based on Gene Ontology semantic similarity. The proposed method is compared with that of some state-of-the-art algorithms in the context of different performance metrics. For the purpose of biological validation of our predicted complexes we have also employed a Gene Ontology and pathway based analysis here. Additionally, we have performed an analysis to associate resulting protein complexes with 22 key disease classes. Two bipartite networks are created to clearly visualize the association of identified protein complexes with the disorder classes. CONCLUSIONS:Here, we present the task of identifying protein complexes as a multiobjective optimization problem. Identified protein complexes are found to be associated with several disorders classes like 'Cancer', 'Endocrine' and 'Multiple'. This analysis uncovers some new relationships between disorders and predicted complexes that may take a potential role in the prediction of multi target drugs.

Project description:BackgroundIdentifying protein complexes is crucial to understanding principles of cellular organization and functional mechanisms. As many evidences have indicated that the subgraphs with high density or with high modularity in PPI network usually correspond to protein complexes, protein complexes detection methods based on PPI network focused on subgraph's density or its modularity in PPI network. However, dense subgraphs may have low modularity and subgraph with high modularity may have low density, which results that protein complexes may be subgraphs with low modularity or with low density in the PPI network. As the density-based methods are difficult to mine protein complexes with low density, and the modularity-based methods are difficult to mine protein complexes with low modularity, both two methods have limitation for identifying protein complexes with various density and modularity.ResultsTo identify protein complexes with various density and modularity, including those have low density but high modularity and those have low modularity but high density, we define a novel subgraph's fitness, fρ, as fρ= (density)(ρ*)(modularity)(1-ρ), and propose a novel algorithm, named LF_PIN, to identify protein complexes by expanding seed edges to subgraphs with the local maximum fitness value. Experimental results of LF-PIN in S.cerevisiae show that compared with the results of fitness equal to density (ρ = 1) or equal to modularity (ρ = 0), the LF-PIN identifies known protein complexes more effectively when the fitness value is decided by both density and modularity (0<ρ<1). Compared with the results of seven competing protein complex detection methods (CMC, Core-Attachment, CPM, DPClus, HC-PIN, MCL, and NFC) in S.cerevisiae and E.coli, LF-PIN outperforms other seven methods in terms of matching with known complexes and functional enrichment. Moreover, LF-PIN has better performance in identifying protein complexes with low density or with low modularity.ConclusionsBy considering both the density and the modularity, LF-PIN outperforms other protein complexes detection methods that only consider density or modularity, especially in identifying known protein complexes with low density or low modularity.
