Large scale protein interaction maps provide a new, global perspective with which to analyse protein function. PSIMAP, the Protein Structural Interactome Map, is a database of all the structurally observed interactions between superfamilies of protein domains with known three-dimensional structure in thePDB. PSIMAP incorporates both functional and evolutionary information into a single network. It makes it possible to age protein domains in terms of taxonomic diversity, interaction and function. One consequence of it is to predict the most important protein domain structure in evolution. We present a global analysis of PSIMAP using several distinct network measures relating to centrality, interactivity, fault-tolerance, and taxonomic diversity. We found the following results: ${\bullet}$ Centrality: we show that the center and barycenter of PSIMAP do not coincide, and that the superfamilies forming the barycenter relate to very general functions, while those constituting the center relate to enzymatic activity. ${\bullet}$ Interactivity: we identify the P-loop and immunoglobulin superfamilies as the most highly interactive. We successfully use connectivity and cluster index, which characterise the connectivity of a superfamily's neighbourhood, to discover superfamilies of complex I and II. This is particularly significant as the structure of complex I is not yet solved. ${\bullet}$ Taxonomic diversity: we found that highly interactive superfamilies are in general taxonomically very diverse and are thus amongst the oldest. This led to the prediction of the oldest and most important protein domain in evolution of lift. ${\bullet}$ Fault-tolerance: we found that the network is very robust as for the majority of superfamilies removal from the network will not break up the network. Overall, we can single out the P-loop containing nucleotide triphosphate hydrolases superfamily as it is the most highly connected and has the highest taxonomic diversity. In addition, this superfamily has the highest interaction rank, is the barycenter of the network (it has the shortest average path to every other superfamily in the network), and is an articulation vertex, whose removal will disconnect the network. More generally, we conclude that the graph-theoretic and taxonomic analysis of PSIMAP is an important step towards the understanding of protein function and could be an important tool for tracing the evolution of life at the molecular level.

Glaucoma is the second leading cause of irreversible blindness, and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is the most common type. Due to inadequate diagnosis, treatment is often not administered until symptoms occur. Hence, approaches enabling earlier prediction or diagnosis of POAG are necessary. We aimed to identify novel drugs for glaucoma through bioinformatics and network analysis. Data from 36 samples, obtained from the trabecular meshwork of healthy individuals and patients with POAG, were acquired from a dataset. Next, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified to construct a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network. In both stages, the genes were enriched by studying the critical biological processes and pathways related to POAG. Finally, a drug-gene network was constructed, and novel drugs for POAG treatment were proposed. Genes with p < 0.01 and |log fold change| > 0.3 (1,350 genes) were considered DEGs and utilized to construct a PPI network. Enrichment analysis yielded several key pathways that were upregulated or downregulated. For example, extracellular matrix organization, the immune system, neutrophil degranulation, and cytokine signaling were upregulated among immune pathways, while signal transduction, the immune system, extracellular matrix organization, and receptor tyrosine kinase signaling were downregulated. Finally, novel drugs including metformin hydrochloride, ixazomib citrate, and cisplatin warrant further analysis of their potential roles in POAG treatment. The candidate drugs identified in this computational analysis require in vitro and in vivo validation to confirm their effectiveness in POAG treatment. This may pave the way for understanding life-threatening disorders such as cancer.

단백질의 기능 예측 모델은 guilt-by-association 개념을 바탕으로 단백질-단백질 상호작용 맵을 이용하고 있다. 이 방법은 목표 단백질이 기능이 알려진 단백질과 상호작용이 없는 경우 기능 예측이 불가능하다. 본 논문에서는 단백질 기능 예측 모델을 K-class 다중 분류 문제로 재 정의하고 단백질-단백질 상호작용 데이터 및 단백질의 알려진 속성 등을 학습 모델에 이용한 단위신경망의 설계와 응용을 제안한다. 제안하는 모델은 Yeast 단백질 데이터의 기능 예측에서 단백질-단백질 상호작용 데이터를 이용하는 방법에 비해 분류 예측율에서 우수한 성능을 보였으며 또한 상호작용이 밝혀지지 않은 단백질의 기능 예측을 할 수 있다.

The purpose of this study was to construct a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network related to oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Each protein was ranked and those most associated with OSCC were mined within the network. First, OSCC-related genes were retrieved from the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) database. Then they were mapped to their protein identifiers and a seed set of proteins was built. The seed proteins were expanded using the nearest neighbor expansion method to construct a PPI network through the Online Predicated Human Interaction Database (OPHID). The network was verified to be statistically significant, the score of each protein was evaluated by algorithm, then the OSCC-related proteins were ranked. 38 OSCC related seed proteins were expanded to 750 protein pairs. A protein-protein interaction nerwork was then constructed and the 30 top-ranked proteins listed. The four highest-scoring seed proteins were SMAD4, CTNNB1, HRAS, NOTCH1, and four non-seed proteins P53, EP300, SMAD3, SRC were mined using the nearest neighbor expansion method. The methods shown here may facilitate the discovery of important OSCC proteins and guide medical researchers in further pertinent studies.

본 연구는 질병과 관련이 있는 단백질들은 질병네트워크를 형성함에 있어서 매우 중요한 인자로 작용할 가능성이 있다는 아이디어에서 출발한다. 우리는 Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man(OMIM)과 SWISS-PROT으로부터 인간의 단백질 데이터와 질병 정보를 확보하고 질병관련 단백질의 단백질 상호작용 네트워크를 구축 한 후, 이를 바탕으로 질병네트워크를 구축했다. 그 결과 단백질 상호작용 네트워크에는 CALM1, ACTB 및 ABL2와 같은 40개의 허브 단백질이 존재하는 것을 확인했다. 단백질 상호작용 네트워크와 질병 네트워크를 통해서 우리는 질병들간의 상관관계와 각 질병에 작용하는 단백질들의 상관관계를 파악할 수 있었다. 구축된 질병네트워크로부터 APP, ABL1 및 STAT1과 같은 38개의 질병단백체를 찾아냈다. 우리는 이전 연구에서 허브 단백질들이 서브 질병네트워크에서 질병 단백체의 경향이 있다는 것을 증명했다. 하지만, 본 연구에서 전체 질병 네트워크를 분석한 결과 전체 40개의 허브 단백질 중 단 18% 허브 단백질만이 질병단백체임이 확인되었다. 현시점에서 허브 단백질-질병단백체 경향성이 전체 질병네트워크와 서브 질병네트워크간의 차이를 설명할 수 없다. 비록 우리가 이러한 풀리지 않은 문제를 안고 있지만, 단백질-질병 네트워크의 구조 및 기능 분석은 복잡한 인간 질병 시스템에서 분자 수준의 기작과 생물학적 과정을 이해하는데 중요한 정보를 제공할 것이다.

The discovery of biochemical and cellular functions of unannotated gene products begins with a database search of proteins with structure/sequence homologues based on known genes. Very recently, a number of frontier groups in structural biology proposed a new paradigm to predict biological functions of an unknown protein on the basis of its three-dimensional structure on a genomic scale. Structural proteomics (genomics), a research area for structure-based functional discovery, aims to complete the protein-folding universe of all gene products in a cell. It would lead us to a complete understanding of a living organism from protein structure. Two major complementary experimental techniques, X-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopy, combined with recently developed high throughput methods have played a central role in structural proteomics research; however, an integration of these methodologies together with comparative modeling and electron microscopy would speed up the goal for completing a full dictionary of protein folding space in the near future.

포스트 게놈 시대에는 단백질에 대한 연구의 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 특히 단백질-단백질 상호작용 및 단백질 네트워크에 대한 연구를 기반으로 전체 생물 체계를 분석하는 연구가 중요하게 대두되고 있다. 기존에 생물학자들이 실험을 통해서 증명한 사실들을 논문이나 기타 매체를 통해서 공개를 하고 있다. 하지만 공개된 정보의 양이 방대하므로 생물학자들이 정보를 효율적으로 이용하지 못하는 경우가 많다. 다행히도 인터넷의 발달로 하루에도 수 없이 쏟아져 나오는 연구 성과들에 쉽게 접근이 가능해졌다. 이러한 매체로부터 생물학적 의미를 가지는 정보를 효과적으로 추출하는 일이 중요하게 대두되었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 인터넷상에 공개된 다량의 논문 및 기타 정보 매체로부터 단백질 정보를 추출한 데이터베이스로부터 단백질 네트워크를 구성하고, 단백질 네트워크를 통해서 생물학적 의미를 가지는 여러가지 경로 분석 알고리즘을 설계하고 구현한다.
