  1. The FXM Signaling Network UTP/UDP IgG2a C5a Testing Ground PI(3,4,5)P3 Ca2+

  2. Define the system for study • Plan and organize experiments • Reference tool • Template for future modeling ?

  3. We asked... • What signaling molecules might be involved? • Are these signaling proteins specifically expressed in RAW 264.7 cells? • What is the presumed role of each signaling molecule in the network? • Which signaling proteins shall be targets of perturbations and other experiments?

  7. Initial Goals of FXM Project • Develop a parts list of specific proteins that constitute the FXM network. • Develop a detailed map describing known or suspected reactions occurring within FXM pathways.

  8. We built an initial crude network... …to establish a basic framework

  9. Parts List More comprehensive map Initial perturbation targets (test method w/ the obvious) Y2H targets

  10. FXM Parts List • Started with an inclusive list based on legacy • Considered all possible isoforms

  11. Compiled in Excel Worksheets

  12. Expression in RAW 264.7 Cells • Expression tracked by Affymetrix arrays and RT-PCR • In some cases, antibody data and/or functional data are available • Goal: trim down list

  13. Overview of Parts • 247 proteins (including isoforms) considered • 204 proteins remain on list following expression analysis • ~40 mRNA confirmed present by RT-PCR • ~27 proteins confirmed present by antibody • ~64 expression is uncertain (i.e., Affy unclear, RT not yet done)

  14. Building a detailed network map • Collaboration with Adam Arkin Lab • Development of map using PathwayBuilder software (DARPA BioSPICE) • Tested both the method for creating a signaling map and the suitability of the software

  15. Content of a Pathway Signaling Map • NOT a connection map of all possible protein interactions A more defined map: • Assign a role for each signaling molecule (protein and non-protein) within the FXM network • Molecular states and complexes • Create a set of hypotheses to be tested by experimental perturbation • A tool and template for modelers

  16. Pathway Description

  17. Process-based diagrams Process could be... • Enzymatic Reaction • Regulated Reaction • Binding interaction • Unknown mechanism

  18. Nodes • Each node represents a specific state of a molecule or group of molecules • Nodes are unique • Nodes are designated as proteins, non-proteins, or complexes Complex Protein Non-Protein

  19. Sample Pathway

  20. PIP3 GPCR Fc Receptor Calcium Putting it all together

  21. Overview of Map • Contains 273 nodes • Connected by 234 processes (reactions) • Complexes constitute 123 nodes • Some molecules such as Lyn, PIP3, or Ca2+ might participate in as many as 15 distinct processes. • Not yet finished!
