Poly(A) polymerase (PAP) play an essential role for maturation of mRNA by adding the adenylate residues at the 3' end. PAP functions are regulated through protein-protein interaction at its C-terminal region. In this study, cyclophilin A (CypA), a member of the peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase family, was identified as a partner protein interacting with the C-terminal region PAP. The interaction between PAP and CypA was inhibited by the immunosuppressive drug cyclosporine A. Deletion analysis revealed that the N-terminal 56 residues of CypA are sufficient for the interaction with PAP. Interestingly, we observed that PAP and CypA colocalize in the nucleus during SDF-1-induced chemotaxis, implying that CypA could be involved in the regulation of polyadenylation by PAP in the chemotactic cells.

Peptidyl prolyl cis/trans isomerases (PPIases) catalyze the cis/trans isomerization of peptidyl-prolyl peptide bonds preceding prolines. We investigated the protein-protein interaction between a 22 kDa PPIase (VaFKBP22, an FK506-binding protein) and the molecular chaperone DnaK derived from Vibrio anguillarum O1 (VaDnaK) using GST pull-down assays and a bacterial two-hybrid system for in vivo and in vitro studies, respectively. Furthermore, we analyzed the three-dimensional structure of the protein-protein interaction. Based on our results, VaFKBP22 appears to act as a cochaperone of VaDnaK, and contributes to protein folding and stabilization via its peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerization activity.

The growth of baceriophage T4 is inhibited by the presence of the tin gene product o bacteriophage P2. The interaction between purified Tin and gp32 proteins was observed using coimmunoprecipitation experiments. The in vivo interaction was confirmed by yeast two-hybrid experiments. A deletion analysis showed that the Asp 163 region of gp32 to DNA substrates was not affected by the presence of Tin, Thus, it would appear that the inhibition of 4 growth by Tin was due to a protein-protein interaction rather than affecting the DNA-binding ability of gp32.

Developed proteome-scale ortholog and paralog prediction methods are mainly based on sequence similarity. However, it is known that even the closest BLAST hit often does not mean the closest neighbor. For this reason, we added conserved interaction information to find orthologs. We propose a genome-scale, automated ortholog prediction method, named OrthoInterBlast. The method is based on both sequence and interaction similarity. When we applied this method to fly and yeast, 17% of the ortholog candidates were different compared with the results of Inparanoid. By adding protein-protein interaction information, proteins that have low sequence similarity still can be selected as orthologs, which can not be easily detected by sequence homology alone.

최근 계산을 통한 단백질 상호작용 예측 기법 중, 단백질 쌍이 포함하고 있는 도메인들 사이의 관계에 중점을 둔 도메인 정보 기반 예측 기법들이 다양하게 제안되고 있다. 하지만, 다수의 도메인 쌍들이 상호작용에 기여하는 정도를 정밀하게 반영하는 계산 기법은 드문 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 단백질 상호작용에 있어 도메인 조합 쌍의 상호작용 영향력을 수치화하여 반영한 상호작용 중요도 행렬을 고안하고 이를 기반으로 한 단백질 상호작용 예측 시스템을 구현한다. 일반적인 도메인 조합 기법과 달리, 상호작용 중요도 행렬에서는 상호작용을 위한 도메인간의 협업 확률이 고려된 Weighted 도메인 조합과, 다수의 Weighted 도메인 조합 중 실제 상호작용 주체가 될 확률을 도메인 조합 쌍의 힘(Domain Combination Pair Power, DCPPW)으로 수치화한다. DIP과 IntAct에서 얻어온 S. cerevisiae의 단백질 상호작용 데이터와 Pfam-A 도메인 정보를 사용한 정확도 검증 결과, 평균 63%의 민감도와 94%의 특이도를 확인하였으며, 학습집단의 증가에 따른 안정적인 예측 정확도 향상을 보였다. 본 논문에서 구현한 예측 시스템과 학습 데이터는 웹(http://code.google.com/p/prespi)을 통하여 내려 받을 수 있다.

Recently, high-throughput technologies such as the two-hybrid system, protein chip, Mass Spectrometry, and the phage display have furnished a lot of data on protein-protein interactions (PPIs), but the data has not been accurate so far and the quantity has also been limited. In this respect, computational techniques for the prediction and validation of PPIs have been developed. However, existing computational methods do not take into account the fact that a PPI is actually originated from the interactions of domains that each protein contains. So, in this work, the information on domain modules of individual proteins has been employed in order to find out the protein interaction relationship. The system developed here, WASPI (Web-based Assistant System for Protein-protein interaction Inference), has been implemented to provide many functional insights into the protein interactions and their domains. To achieve those objectives, several preprocessing steps have been taken. First, the domain module information of interacting proteins was extracted by taking advantage of the InterPro database, which includes protein families, domains, and functional sites. The InterProScan program was used in this preprocess. Second, the homology comparison with the GO (Gene Ontology) and COG (Clusters of Orthologous Groups) with an E-value of $10^{-5}$, $10^{-3}$ respectively, was employed to obtain the information on the function and annotation of each interacting protein of a secondary PPI database in the WASPI. The BLAST program was utilized for the homology comparison.

인터넷 상에 단백질 및 관련 데이터의 축적에 따라, 도메인에 기반하여 단백질의 상호작용을 계산적으로 예측하는 많은 기법들이 제안되었다. 그러나, 대부분의 기법들이 예측에서 낮은 정확도와 복수개의 단백질 쌍에 대한 상호작용 가능성들 간에 순위 정보를 제공하지 못하는 등의 한계로 인하여 실무 적용에 한계를 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 도메인 조합 기반 단백질 상호작용 예측 기법을 재평가하고 상호작용하는 것으로 예측되는 복수개의 단백질 쌍들에서 이들의 상호작용 가능성들 간에 순위를 부여하는 방법을 제시한다. 순위 부여 방법은 도메인 조합에 기반한 단백질 상호작용 예측 방법의 틀 내에서 확률 식을 고안하여 제시한다. 제시된 순위 부여 기법을 사용함으로써, 상호작용을 하는 것으로 예측된 단백질 쌍들간에 상호작용 가능성이 좀 더 높은 것을 구별해 낼 수 있다. 또한 순위 부여 기법의 검증 과정에서 학습에 사용된 단백질 집단의 PIP(Primary Interaction Probability)값과 일치된 PIP값을 가지는 단백질 쌍 그룹의 경우에는, 상호작용 확률과 예측 정확도 사이에 상관관계가 존재함을 확인할 수 있었다.

Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) is a highly contagious trans-boundary viral disease caused by FMD virus, which causes huge economic losses. FMDV infects cloven hoofed (two-toed) mammals such as cattle, sheep, goats, pigs and various wildlife species. To control the FMDV, it is necessary to understand the life cycle and the pathogenesis of FMDV in host. Especially, the protein-protein interaction between FMDV and host will help to understand the survival cycle of viruses in host cell and establish new therapeutic strategies. However, the computational approach for protein-protein interaction between FMDV and pig hosts have not been applied to studies of the onset mechanism of FMDV. In the present work, we have performed the prediction of the pig's proteins which interact with FMDV based on RNA-Seq data, protein sequence, and structure information. After identifying the virus-host interaction, we looked for meaningful pathways and anticipated changes in the host caused by infection with FMDV. A total of 78 proteins of pig were predicted as interacting with FMDV. The 156 interactions include 94 interactions predicted by sequence-based method and the 62 interactions predicted by structure-based method using domain information. The protein interaction network contained integrin as well as STYK1, VTCN1, IDO1, CDH3, SLA-DQB1, FER, and FGFR2 which were related to the up-regulation of inflammation and the down-regulation of cell adhesion and host defense systems such as macrophage and leukocytes. These results provide clues to the knowledge and mechanism of how FMDV affects the host cell.

Background: Chronic myelocytic leukemia is a disease that threatens both adults and children. Great progress has been achieved in treatment but protein-protein interaction networks underlining chronic myelocytic leukemia are less known. Objective: To develop a protein-protein interaction network for chronic myelocytic leukemia based on gene expression and to predict biological pathways underlying molecular complexes in the network. Materials and Methods: Genes involved in chronic myelocytic leukemia were selected from OMIM database. Literature mining was performed by Agilent Literature Search plugin and a protein-protein interaction network of chronic myelocytic leukemia was established by Cytoscape. The molecular complexes in the network were detected by Clusterviz plugin and pathway enrichment of molecular complexes were performed by DAVID online. Results and Discussion: There are seventy-nine chronic myelocytic leukemia genes in the Mendelian Inheritance In Man Database. The protein-protein interaction network of chronic myelocytic leukemia contained 638 nodes, 1830 edges and perhaps 5 molecular complexes. Among them, complex 1 is involved in pathways that are related to cytokine secretion, cytokine-receptor binding, cytokine receptor signaling, while complex 3 is related to biological behavior of tumors which can provide the bioinformatic foundation for further understanding the mechanisms of chronic myelocytic leukemia.
