The protein-protein interaction map of Helicobacter pylori

With the availability of complete DNA sequences for many prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes, and soon for the human genome itself, it is important to develop reliable proteome-wide approaches for a better understanding of protein function. As elementary constituents of cellular protein complexes and pathways, protein-protein interactions are key determinants of protein function. Here we have built a large-scale protein-protein interaction map of the human gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori. We have used a high-throughput strategy of the yeast two-hybrid assay to screen 261 H. pylori proteins against a highly complex library of genome-encoded polypeptides. Over 1,200 interactions were identified between H. pylori proteins, connecting 46.6% of the proteome. The determination of a reliability score for every single protein-protein interaction and the identification of the actual interacting domains permitted the assignment of unannotated proteins to biological pathways.     

Global landscape of protein complexes in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Identification of protein-protein interactions often provides insight into protein function, and many cellular processes are performed by stable protein complexes. We used tandem affinity purification to process 4,562 different tagged proteins of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Each preparation was analysed by both matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry to increase coverage and accuracy. Machine learning was used to integrate the mass spectrometry scores and assign probabilities to the protein-protein interactions. Among 4,087 different proteins identified with high confidence by mass spectrometry from 2,357 successful purifications, our core data set (median precision of 0.69) comprises 7,123 protein-protein interactions involving 2,708 proteins. A Markov clustering algorithm organized these interactions into 547 protein complexes averaging 4.9 subunits per complex, about half of them absent from the MIPS database, as well as 429 additional interactions between pairs of complexes. The data (all of which are available online) will help future studies on individual proteins as well as functional genomics and systems biology.     

Reaching for high-hanging fruit in drug discovery at protein-protein interfaces

Targeting the interfaces between proteins has huge therapeutic potential, but discovering small-molecule drugs that disrupt protein-protein interactions is an enormous challenge. Several recent success stories, however, indicate that protein-protein interfaces might be more tractable than has been thought. These studies discovered small molecules that bind with drug-like potencies to 'hotspots' on the contact surfaces involved in protein-protein interactions. Remarkably, these small molecules bind deeper within the contact surface of the target protein, and bind with much higher efficiencies, than do the contact atoms of the natural protein partner. Some of these small molecules are now making their way through clinical trials, so this high-hanging fruit might not be far out of reach.

Prediction of Protein-Protein Interactions by a Novel Model Based on Domain Information

Domain-based protein-protein interactions( PPIs) is a problem that has drawn the attentions of many researchers in recent years and it has been studied using lots of computational approaches from many different perspectives. Existing domain-based methods to predict PPIs typically infer domain interactions from known interacting sets of proteins. However,these methods are costly and complex to implement. In this paper, a simple and effective prediction model is proposed. In this model,an improved multiinstance learning( MIL) algorithm( MilCaA) is designed that doesn't need to take the domain interactions into consideration to construct MIL bags. Then, the pseudo-amino acid composition( PseAAC) transformation method is used to encode the instances in a multi-instance bag and the principal components analysis( PCA) is also used to reduce the feature dimension. Finally, several traditional machine learning and MIL methods are used to verify the proposed model. Experimental results demonstrate that MilCaA performs better than state-of-the-art techniques including the traditional machine learning methods which are widely used in PPIs prediction.     

A comprehensive analysis of protein-protein interactions in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Two large-scale yeast two-hybrid screens were undertaken to identify protein-protein interactions between full-length open reading frames predicted from the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome sequence. In one approach, we constructed a protein array of about 6,000 yeast transformants, with each transformant expressing one of the open reading frames as a fusion to an activation domain. This array was screened by a simple and automated procedure for 192 yeast proteins, with positive responses identified by their positions in the array. In a second approach, we pooled cells expressing one of about 6,000 activation domain fusions to generate a library. We used a high-throughput screening procedure to screen nearly all of the 6,000 predicted yeast proteins, expressed as Gal4 DNA-binding domain fusion proteins, against the library, and characterized positives by sequence analysis. These approaches resulted in the detection of 957 putative interactions involving 1,004 S. cerevisiae proteins. These data reveal interactions that place functionally unclassified proteins in a biological context, interactions between proteins involved in the same biological function, and interactions that link biological functions together into larger cellular processes. The results of these screens are shown here.     

An improved method of potential of mean force for protein-protein interactions

In this work, the traditional method of potential of mean force （PMF） is improved for describing the protein-protein interactions. This method is developed at atomic level and is distance-dependent. Compared with the traditional method, our model can reasonably consider the effects of the environmental factors. With this modification, we can obtain more reasonable and accurate pair potentials, which are the pre-requisite for precisely describing the protein-protein interactions and can help us to recognize the interaction rules of residues in protein systems. Our method can also be applied to other fields of protein science, e.g., protein fold recognition, structure prediction and prediction of thermostability.     

Prediction and systematic study of protein-protein interaction networks of Leptospira interrogans
