Inferring interaction partners from protein sequences.
Specific protein-protein interactions are crucial in the cell, both to ensure the formation and stability of multiprotein complexes and to enable signal transduction in various pathways. Functional interactions between proteins result in coevolution between the interaction partners, causing their sequences to be correlated. Here we exploit these correlations to accurately identify, from sequenc...
متن کاملInferring protein-DNA dependencies using motif alignments and mutual information
MOTIVATION Mutual information can be used to explore covarying positions in biological sequences. In the past, it has been successfully used to infer RNA secondary structure conformations from multiple sequence alignments. In this study, we show that the same principles allow the discovery of transcription factor amino acids that are coevolving with nucleotides in their DNA-binding targets. R...
متن کاملUsing Mutual Information Content of Protein Sequences for Classification
Protein sequence classification is a challenging problem. We are attempting to use the Mutual Information Content of protein sequences to provide an alternative method of classification. Since the 3D structure, and ultimately classification depends on the relationship between amino acids within a sequence, measuring the dependency of acids at different distances in a sequence may prove a valuab...

متن کاملInferring Protein Modulation from Gene Expression Data Using Conditional Mutual Information
Systematic, high-throughput dissection of causal post-translational regulatory dependencies, on a genome wide basis, is still one of the great challenges of biology. Due to its complexity, however, only a handful of computational algorithms have been developed for this task. Here we present CINDy (Conditional Inference of Network Dynamics), a novel algorithm for the genome-wide, context specifi...
