Network motifs modulate druggability of cellular targets
Druggability refers to the capacity of a cellular target to be modulated by a small-molecule drug. To date, druggability is mainly studied by focusing on direct binding interactions between a drug and its target. However, druggability is impacted by cellular networks connected to a drug target. Here, we use computational approaches to reveal basic principles of network motifs that modulate drug...
متن کاملDynamic modeling and analysis of cancer cellular network motifs.
With the advent of high-throughput biology, we now routinely scan cells and organisms at practically all levels, from genome to protein, metabolism, signaling and other cellular functions. This methodology allowed biological studies to move from a reductionist approach, such as isolation of specific pathways and mechanisms, to a more integrative approach, where biological systems are seen as a ...
متن کاملAre network motifs the spandrels of cellular complexity ? Ricard
need to be borne in mind (Box 1), a quantitative genetic framework has much to offer in terms of our understanding of similar problems in evolutionary ecology, because it offers a simple, coherent way to combine measured selection and expected response. This is likely to prove evenmore the case as the influence of genomics is felt ever more strongly in organismic biology (e.g. [4,16]). For exam...
متن کاملAre network motifs the spandrels of cellular complexity?
Cellular networks display modular organization at different levels, from small sets of genes exchanging signals in morphogenesis to large groups of proteins involved in cell death. At the smallest scale, minute groups of interacting proteins or genes, so-called 'network motifs', have been suggested to be the functional building blocks of network biology. In this context, the relative abundance ...
متن کاملPTTG's C-terminal PXXP motifs modulate critical cellular processes in vitro.
Human pituitary tumor-transforming gene (PTTG), known also as securin, is a multifunctional protein implicated in the control of mitosis and the pathogenesis of thyroid, colon, oesophageal and other tumour types. Critical to PTTG function is a C-terminal double PXXP motif, forming a putative SH3-interacting domain and housing the gene's sole reported phosphorylation site. The exact role of phos...
