Finding detailed relationships between proteins specific to phenotypes among microbial organisms Daniel Park Molecular Biology Institute, UCLA Yeates lab SoCalBSI August 24, 2006
OUTLINE • Phylogenetic profiles • Ternary logic analysis • Building COG & phenotype profiles • Results of logic analysis
OUTLINE • Phylogenetic profiles • Ternary logic analysis • Building COG & phenotype profiles • Results of logic analysis
PHYLOGENETIC PROFILES • Turning an earlier question on its side: • From, “What proteins are found in a genome?” • To, “What genomes contain a given protein?”
VARIATIONS OF PHYLOGENETIC PROFILES • Relationships between protein families • Relationships between protein family profile and given target ‘phenotype’ profile
OUTLINE • Phylogenetic profiles • Ternary logic analysis • Building COG & phenotype profiles • Results of logic analysis
B A HIGHER ORDER RELATIONSHIPS:TERNARY LOGIC ANALYSIS
MEASURING MUTAL INFORMATION BETWEEN TWO PROFILES Where Uis the uncertainty coefficient relating profiles x and y His the Shannon entropy of the probability distributions Range of U: [0,1] Ex. U = 0.88 88% decrease in uncertainty High value of U indicates high mutual information between x and y
MEASURING MUTAL INFORMATION AMONG THREE PROFILES U(c | f(a,b))where f(a,b) is the logical combination of a and b Constraints: U(c|a) < x U(c|b) < x U(c|f(a,b)) > y
OUTLINE • Phylogenetic profiles • Ternary logic analysis • Building COG & phenotype profiles • Results of logic analysis
COGs: CLUSTERS OF ORTHOLOGOUS GROUPS Set of orthologous proteins from at least three different lineages Cluster Functional group
` BUILDING COG PROFILES • 81,480 proteins • 354 bacterial genomes • 4,613 COGs
BUILDING PHENOTYPE PROFILES http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genomes/lproks.cgi
OUTLINE • Phylogenetic profiles • Ternary logic analysis • Building COG & phenotype profiles • Results of logic analysis
Cumulative no. of protein triplets recovered at an uncertainty coefficient score greater than a given threshold
Frequency for each of the eight logic function types observed
CORRELATIONS WITH PHENOTYPES:TEMPERATURE RANGE • For U> 0.8, one relationship between proteins was found: Hyperthermophilicity = and( COG0432, !COG0225 ) U ( Hyp.| COG0432 ) = 0.26 U( Hyp. | COG0225 ) = 0.29 U( Hyp. | and( COG0432, !COG0225 ) ) = 0.71 [S] COG0432: Uncharacterized conserved protein [O] COG0225: Peptide methionine sulfoxide reductase
LOGICAL COMBINATION OF COG PROFILES MATCHING A PHENOTYPE PROFILE c = hyperthermophilicity f = and( COG0432, !COG0225 ) a = COG0432 (Uncharacterized conserved protein) b = !COG0225 (Peptide methionine sulfoxide reductase)
CONCLUSIONS • There may be a correlation between the absence of methionine sulfoxide reductase and the presence of an uncharacterized conserved protein in hyperthermophiles.
CONCLUSIONS • Classified ~80,000 proteins from 354 bacterial genomes into ~4,600 COGs • Built COG and phenotype profile matrices for 354 fully sequenced bacterial genomes • Support that ternary relationships among COGs are biologically significant • Support that some logic types are seen in biology more than others: 1 (and) 5 7 (xor)
FUTURE DIRECTIONS • Build a richer database of phenotype profiles • Investigate relationships at lower cutoffs • Experimentally characterize the unknown COG0432 by crystallography
