Generating topological protein interaction scores and data visualization with TopS.

ABSTRACT: Detecting subnetworks in large networks is of great interest. Recently, we developed a topological score framework for the analysis of protein interaction networks and implemented it as a web application, called TopS. Given a multivariate data presented as a matrix, TopS generates topological scores between any column and row in the matrix aiming to identify overwhelming preference interactions. This information can be further used into visualization tools such as clusters and networks to investigate how networks benefit from these interactions. We present a web tool called TopS that aims to have an intuitive user interface. Users can upload data from a simple delimited CSV file that can be created in a spreadsheet program. As an output, user is provided with a scoring matrix as tab-delimited file that can be interchanged with other software, heatmap and clustering figures in pdf format. Here we demonstrate the current capabilities of TopS using an existing dataset generated for the study of the human Sin3 chromatin remodeling complex.

Generating dynamical neuroimaging spatiotemporal representations (DyNeuSR) using topological data analysis.

Project description:In this article, we present an open source neuroinformatics platform for exploring, analyzing, and validating distilled graphical representations of high-dimensional neuroimaging data extracted using topological data analysis (TDA). TDA techniques like Mapper have been recently applied to examine the brain's dynamical organization during ongoing cognition without averaging data in space, in time, or across participants at the outset. Such TDA-based approaches mark an important deviation from standard neuroimaging analyses by distilling complex high-dimensional neuroimaging data into simple-yet neurophysiologically valid and behaviorally relevant-representations that can be interactively explored at the single-participant level. To facilitate wider use of such techniques within neuroimaging and general neuroscience communities, our work provides several tools for visualizing, interacting with, and grounding TDA-generated graphical representations in neurophysiology. Through Python-based Jupyter notebooks and open datasets, we provide a platform to assess and visualize different intermittent stages of Mapper and examine the influence of Mapper parameters on the generated representations. We hope this platform could enable researchers and clinicians alike to explore topological representations of neuroimaging data and generate biological insights underlying complex mental disorders.

Topological scoring of protein interaction networks.

Project description:It remains a significant challenge to define individual protein associations within networks where an individual protein can directly interact with other proteins and/or be part of large complexes, which contain functional modules. Here we demonstrate the topological scoring (TopS) algorithm for the analysis of quantitative proteomic datasets from affinity purifications. Data is analyzed in a parallel fashion where a prey protein is scored in an individual affinity purification by aggregating information from the entire dataset. Topological scores span a broad range of values indicating the enrichment of an individual protein in every bait protein purification. TopS is applied to interaction networks derived from human DNA repair proteins and yeast chromatin remodeling complexes. TopS highlights potential direct protein interactions and modules within complexes. TopS is a rapid method for the efficient and informative computational analysis of datasets, is complementary to existing analysis pipelines, and provides important insights into protein interaction networks.

iRefScape. A Cytoscape plug-in for visualization and data mining of protein interaction data from iRefIndex.

Project description:BACKGROUND: The iRefIndex consolidates protein interaction data from ten databases in a rigorous manner using sequence-based hash keys. Working with consolidated interaction data comes with distinct challenges: data are redundant, overlapping, highly interconnected and may be collected and represented using different curation practices. These phenomena were quantified in our previous studies. RESULTS: The iRefScape plug-in for the Cytoscape graphical viewer addresses these challenges. We show how these factors impact on data-mining tasks and how our solutions resolve them in a simple and efficient manner. A uniform accession space is used to limit redundancy and support search expansion and searching on multiple accession types. Multiple node and edge features support data filtering and mining. Node colours and features supply information about search result provenance. Overlapping evidence is presented using a multi-graph and a bi-partite representation is used to distinguish binary and n-ary source data. Searching for interactions between sets of proteins is supported and specifically includes searches on disease-related genes found in OMIM. Finally, a synchronized adjacency-matrix view facilitates visualization of relationships between sets of user defined groups. CONCLUSIONS: The iRefScape plug-in will be of interest to advanced users of interaction data. The plug-in provides access to a consolidated data set in a uniform accession space while remaining faithful to the underlying source data. Tools are provided to facilitate a range of tasks from a simple search to knowledge discovery. The plug-in uses a number of strategies that will be of interest to other plug-in developers.

Generating Potential Protein-Protein Interaction Inhibitor Molecules Based on Physicochemical Properties.

Project description:Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are associated with various diseases; hence, they are important targets in drug discovery. However, the physicochemical empirical properties of PPI-targeted drugs are distinct from those of conventional small molecule oral pharmaceuticals, which adhere to the "rule of five (RO5)". Therefore, developing PPI-targeted drugs using conventional methods, such as molecular generation models, is challenging. In this study, we propose a molecular generation model based on deep reinforcement learning that is specialized for the production of PPI inhibitors. By introducing a scoring function that can represent the properties of PPI inhibitors, we successfully generated potential PPI inhibitor compounds. These newly constructed virtual compounds possess the desired properties for PPI inhibitors, and they show similarity to commercially available PPI libraries. The virtual compounds are freely available as a virtual library.

Generating testable hypotheses for schizophrenia and rheumatoid arthritis pathogenesis by integrating epidemiological, genomic, and protein interaction data.

Project description:Patients with schizophrenia and their relatives have reduced prevalence of rheumatoid arthritis. Schizophrenia and rheumatoid arthritis genome-wide association studies also indicate negative genetic correlations, suggesting that there may be shared pathogenesis at the DNA level or downstream. A portion of the inverse prevalence could be attributed to pleiotropy, i.e., variants of a single nucleotide polymorphism that could confer differential risk for these disorders. To study the basis for such an interrelationship, we initially compared lists of single nucleotide polymorphisms with significant genetic associations (p < 1e-8) for schizophrenia or rheumatoid arthritis, evaluating patterns of linkage disequilibrium and apparent pleiotropic risk profiles. Single nucleotide polymorphisms that conferred risk for both schizophrenia and rheumatoid arthritis were localized solely to the extended HLA region. Among single nucleotide polymorphisms that conferred differential risk for schizophrenia and rheumatoid arthritis, the majority were localized to HLA-B, TNXB, NOTCH4, HLA-C, HCP5, MICB, PSORS1C1, and C6orf10; published functional data indicate that HLA-B and HLA-C have the most plausible pathogenic roles in both disorders. Interactomes of these eight genes were constructed from protein-protein interaction information using publicly available databases and novel computational predictions. The genes harboring apparently pleiotropic single nucleotide polymorphisms are closely connected to rheumatoid arthritis and schizophrenia associated genes through common interacting partners. A separate and independent analysis of the interactomes of rheumatoid arthritis and schizophrenia genes showed a significant overlap between the two interactomes and that they share several common pathways, motivating functional studies suggesting a relationship in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia/rheumatoid arthritis.

The Application of Topological Scores in the Identification of Protein Interactions

Project description:We have devised a novel computational framework that integrate protein weights using spectral counts to analyze protein interaction networks from reciprocal and non-reciprocal proteomics datasets and generate positive and negative preference interactions. We used for purifications proteins involved in DNA-repair. We selected 17 protein seeds for affinity purification which are part of different DNA repair mechanism. In addition to the purifications of known elements of the DNA repair pathways such as MSH2, MSH3, MSH6 (Mismatch repair), RPA1, RPA2, RPA3 (NER pathway), XRCC5, XRCC6 (DSBR), SSBP1 (DSB pathway) or PARP1 (BER pathway) we have selected additional 7 proteins for purification which showed to be related with proteins in these pathways. Our previous study has revealed WDR76 as a novel DNA damage responsive protein and it showed strong association with members of DNA repair pathways, CBXs, and SPIN1 proteins, therefore they were included here for the analysis.

Topological Methods for Visualization and Analysis of High Dimensional Single-Cell RNA Sequencing Data.

Project description:Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) techniques have been very powerful in analyzing heterogeneous cell population and identifying cell types. Visualizing scRNA-seq data can help researchers effectively extract meaningful biological information and make new discoveries. While commonly used scRNA-seq visualization methods, such as t-SNE, are useful in detecting cell clusters, they often tear apart the intrinsic continuous structure in gene expression profiles. Topological Data Analysis (TDA) approaches like Mapper capture the shape of data by representing data as topological networks. TDA approaches are robust to noise and different platforms, while preserving the locality and data continuity. Moreover, instead of analyzing the whole dataset, Mapper allows researchers to explore biological meanings of specific pathways and genes by using different filter functions. In this paper, we applied Mapper to visualize scRNA-seq data. Our method can not only capture the clustering structure of cells, but also preserve the continuous gene expression topologies of cells. We demonstrated that by combining with gene co-expression network analysis, our method can reveal differential expression patterns of gene co-expression modules along the Mapper visualization.

Topological data analysis of protein structure and inter/intra-molecular interaction changes attributable to amino acid mutations.

Project description:The presence of some amino acid mutations in the amino acid sequence that determines a protein's structure can significantly affect that 3D structure and its biological function. However, the effects upon structural and functional changes differ for each displaced amino acid, and it is very difficult to predict these changes in advance. Although computer simulations are very effective at predicting conformational changes, they struggle to determine whether the amino acid mutation of interest induces sufficient conformational changes, unless the researcher is a specialist in molecular structure calculations. Therefore, we created a framework that efficiently utilizes molecular dynamics and persistent homology methods to identify amino acid mutations that induce structural changes. We show that this framework can be used not only to predict conformational changes produced by amino acid mutations but also to extract groups of mutations that significantly alter similar molecular interactions, by capturing the resultant protein-protein interaction changes.

Association study based on topological constraints of protein-protein interaction networks.

Project description:The non-random interaction pattern of a protein-protein interaction network (PIN) is biologically informative, but its potentials have not been fully utilized in omics studies. Here, we propose a network-permutation-based association study (NetPAS) method that gauges the observed interactions between two sets of genes based on the comparison between permutation null models and the empirical networks. This enables NetPAS to evaluate relationships, constrained by network topology, between gene sets related to different phenotypes. We demonstrated the utility of NetPAS in 50 well-curated gene sets and comparison of association studies using Z-scores, modified Z'-scores, p-values and Jaccard indices. Using NetPAS, a weighted human disease network was generated from the association scores of 19 gene sets from OMIM. We also applied NetPAS in gene sets derived from gene ontology and pathway annotations and showed that NetPAS uncovered functional terms missed by DAVID and WebGestalt. Overall, we show that NetPAS can take topological constraints of molecular networks into account and offer new perspectives than existing methods.

Functional diversity of topological modules in human protein-protein interaction networks.

Project description:A large-scale molecular interaction network of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) enables the automatic detection of molecular functional modules through a computational approach. However, the functional modules that are typically detected by topological community detection algorithms may be diverse in functional homogeneity and are empirically considered to be default functional modules. Thus, a significant challenge that has been described but not elucidated is investigating the relationship between topological modules and functional modules. We systematically investigated this issue by initially using seven widely used community detection algorithms to partition the PPI network into communities. Four homogeneity measures were subsequently implemented to evaluate the functional homogeneity of protein community. We determined that a significant portion of topological modules with heterogeneous functionality exists and should be further investigated; moreover, these findings indicated that topologically based functional module detection approaches must be reconsidered. Furthermore, we found that the functional homogeneity of topological modules is positively correlated with their edge densities, degree of association with diseases and general Gene Ontology (GO) terms. Thus, topologically based module detection approaches should be used with caution in the identification of functional modules with high homogeneity.
