Session outline • Standards and the problem of data integration • Example: PSICQUIC and the PSICQUIC game • Introduction to ontologies. • Exploring the Gene Ontology • -Coffee break- • Introduction to protein-protein interactions (PPIs) • IntAct: the molecular interactions database at the EBI • -Lunch break- • Introduction to pathways • Reactome: a database of human biological pathways • -Coffee break- • Network representation and analysis: strategies and limitations • Network generation and analysis through Cytoscape and PSICQUIC
A couple of definitions… Protein-protein interactions (PPIs): physical and selective contacts that happen between pairs of proteins, in certain molecular regions and in a defined biological context. Interactome: the totality of PPIs that happen in a cell / in an organism / in a specific biological context... Protein-protein interaction network: Graphical representation of a group of PPIs in which proteins are represented as nodes and interactions as edges.
Why protein-protein interactions? Gene level Protein level DNA RNA 1 protein = n functions = n networks! 1 protein = 1 function WRONG! • To predict a protein biological function • “guilt by association” • proteins with similar functions should cluster together • To improve characterization of protein complexes and pathways • interaction networks work as a draft map that brings detail to biological processes and pathways
Guilt by association Cyclin-dependent kinase Role in transcription regulation Proto-oncogene Transcription factor Mediator of RNA polymerase transcription activity Role in transcription regulation Histone methyltransferase Role in early development and hematopoiesis Cyclin Regulation of cyclin kinase, transcription regulation and cell cycle control Transcriptional modulator Transcription regulation dependent on kinases Something to do with transcription and cell cycle control Receptor-activated transcription modulator Transcription modulation, signal transduction, activated by kinases. Role in inhibition of wound healing Putative oncoprotein Involved in transcription regulation Putative oncoprotein Transcription activation
Characterization of protein complexes and pathways Hook, B. and Schagat, T. [Internet] 2011. Available from: www.promega.com/resources/articles/pubhub/functional-proteomics-techniques-to-isolate-and-characterize-the-human-proteasome/ Glaab et al., BMC Bioinformatics, PMID: 21144022.
Protein-protein interaction detection methods Yeast-two hybrid (Y2H) Tandemaffinitypurification+ massspectrometry (TAP-MS) No single method can accurately reproduce a true binary interaction observed under physiological conditions – every interaction detected experimentally is fundamentally artefactual. High-throughput X-ray diffraction studies Low-throughput
Protein-protein interaction detection methods Braun et al., Nat Methods, 2008, PMID: 19060903.
Types of protein-protein interactions • Binary interactions – Two participants • Co-localization – Two or more participants closely located • N-aryints. (associations) – Complex purification • Functional / direct ints. – E. g. enzymatic interactions
N-ary interactions (association) Schleiff et al., Nat Rev Mol Cell Biol. 2011. PMID: 211396380
Direct / functional interactions • Usually in vitro assays • Participants IDs are known in advance (predetermined) • Examples – enzymatic assays, SPR, crystallography, methods using purified protein… Images from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray_crystallography http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_plasmon_resonance http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_adsorption_in_the_food_industry
interaction domains Overlap in sequence ranges: Representing PPIs: interaction domains
Representing PPIs: The problem with complexes • Some experimental methods generate complex data: E. g. Tandem affinity purification (TAP) • There are two algorithms to transform this information into binary data:
Interactions databases: types De Las Rivas & Fontanillo, PLoS Computational biology, PMID: 20589078.
Databases: curation levels SHALLOW CURATION DEEP CURATION
Databases: curation levels Shallow curation BioGRID – active curation, limited number of model organisms HPRD – active curation, human focus, predicted interactions MPIDB – curation stopped, data re-located to IntAct, interactions in micro-organisms InnateDB – active curation, interactions related with innate immunity Deep curation IntAct – active curation, wide species coverage, all types of molecules MINT – active curation, wide species coverage, PPIs only DIP – active curation, wide species coverage, PPIs only MPACT – curation currently stopped, limited species coverage, PPIs only MatrixDB – active curation, extracellular matrix molecules only BIND – curation stopped in 2006/7, wide species coverage, all types of molecules – information getting outdated I2D – active curation, PPIs involved in cancer

IntAct goals & achievements • Publicly available repository of molecular interactions (mainly PPIs) - >430K binary interactions taken from >12,000 publications (October 2013) • Data is standards-compliant and available via our website, for download at our ftp site or via PSICQUICwww.ebi.ac.uk/intact ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/intact www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/webservices/psicquic/view/main.xhtml • Provide open-access versions of the software to allow installation of local IntAct nodes.
