Global view of protein interaction networks:degree distribution / Small world properties
Small world phenomenon: Everyone in the world can be reached through a short chain of social acquaintances.
Six degrees of separation: (Stanley Milgram, 1967): “Two random US citizens are connected on average by a chain of six acquaintances”.
D.J. Watts and S. H. Strogatz, 1998: “Beginning with a regular lattice, the addition of a small number of random links reduces the diameter of the network (the longest direct path between any two vertices, from being very long to being very short)”.
Protein Chemistry/Proteomics/Mass spectrometry Uni. of Helsinki
Global view of protein interaction networks:degree distribution / scale free properties
(i) Winner takes all phenomenon: new
vertices attach preferentially to sites that
are already well connected: hubs
(ii) Rich gets richer: generative model
where „page with many in-links attracts
more in-links than a regular page“
(iii) Copy model: new node chooses an
existent node at random and copy a
fraction of the links of the existent node
(iv) However, communities of special
interests resemble normal distribution
Distrubution of links in scale free network of the Web follows a Power law (PL)

Using PPI networks to study biological processes
Proteins interact with other proteins in assemblies and pathways to exert their biological function
the majority of cellular proteins form large interaction networks (PPI networks)
PPI networks help to understand protein function and malfunction in health and disease

Principle of the yeast two-hybrid system
Benefits: • In vivo technique• Transient and unstable interactions can be detected
• Independent of endogenous protein expression
• Fine resolution, enabling interaction mapping within proteins
Drawbacks:• Only two proteins tested at a time • Takes place in the nucleus, so many proteins are not in their native compartment
• Predicts possible interactions, but is unrelated to the physiological setting

Development of a novel conceptual framework for interactomemapping
Venkatesan et al. Nature Methods, 2009
The square of the number of genes used to generate a data set, relative to the square of the estimated number of all protein-encoding genes, represents the fraction of all pairwise combinations that can be tested or “completeness”.
Assay sensitivity, or inherent bias of an assay, is the fraction of all biophysical interactions that can possibly be identified by that assay under optimal experimental conditions.
Sampling sensitivity of a data set represents the fraction of all theoretically detectable interactions for a particular assay found under a given sampling condition.
Precision refers to the fraction of observed pairs that are true positives. False positive pairs reflect technical artifacts that are erroneously scored positive in a given assay.

PolyQ disorders
Diseases of unstable repeat expansion are a diverse group of disorders that are caused by the expansion of tri-, tetra-, or pentanucleotide repeat sequences.
Repeat expansion disorders include several spinocerebellar ataxias, Huntington disease, spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy, and dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy.
These disorders share many points of pathogenic convergence, such as protein misfolding and accumulation, but also unique aspects that are determined by the normal function of the disease protein.
