Short Abstract: We propose a method for predicting protein sequence signatures ofinteracting partners with a particular protein called a host proteinusing gene ontology annotations. The method can also simultaneouslyfind potential interacting partners with host proteins.Our method was applied to our original human PPI data set.

Discovering the carbohydrate binding properties of PA-1L lectin from Pseudomonas aeruginosa by molecular modeling
Alessandra Nurisso- CNRS
Anne Imberty (CNRS, CERMAV);
Short Abstract: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a human pathogen whose virulence is based on the capability of adhesion to the surface of host cells through the production of two carbohydrate binding proteins, PA-1L and PA-IIL. In this work, the molecular bases of the carbohydrate–PA-IL interactions are elucidated through molecular mechanics techniques.

NASCENT: An Automatic Protein Interaction Network Generation Tool for Non-Model Organisms
Dániel Bánky- Eötvös University
Vince Grolmusz (Eötvös University, Protein Information Technology Group);
Short Abstract: NASCENT is a tool capable of constructing protein-protein interaction networks for any chosen non-model organisms. Calculations are based on a model organism protein-protein interaction data, retrieved from several major biological databases. The mapping of the interactions is performed by corresponding the genes of the expressed proteins of the two species.

Short Abstract: We introduce a web-based Protein Interaction Network Analysis platform (PINA), which integrates protein-protein interaction data from six databases and provides network construction, filtering, analysis, and visualization tools. Its advantages have been demonstrated in analysis of two human PPI networks. PINA is freely available at http://csbi.ltdk.helsinki.fi/pina/.

XIPPI: a merged database of protein-protein interactions
Yuri Vyatkin- Institute of Cytology and Genetics SB RAS
Dmitry Afonnikov (Institute of Cytology and Genetics, Laboratory of Theoretical Genetics);
Short Abstract: The information about protein-protein interactions spreads over a number of databases with different data formats, interaction descriptions and protein sequence referencing. We suggest a tool XIPPI to overcome a problem of protein sequence redundancy in PPI databases. The XIPPI allows searching for interactions available and building datasets of protein interactions.

Analysis of Biomolecular Network in Structurome
Akinori Sarai- Kyushu Institute of Technology
Mitsuaki Ohtsuaka (KIT, Biosci. Bioinfo.); Satoshi Fujii (KIT, Biosci. Bioinfo.);
Short Abstract: We have developed a database/tool of biomolecular network, PDBnet, based on the structural information of structurome. PDBnet enables us to extract and visualize various kinds of information from the structurome. We have analyzed the relationship among various molecular, evolutionary and network properties, in a systematic way by using PDBnet.

Identification of Computational Hot Spots in Protein Interfaces Using Solvent Accessibility and Inter-Residue Potentials
Nurcan Tuncbag- Koc University
Attila Gursoy (Koc University, Center for Computationa Biology and Bioinformatics and College of Engineering); Ozlem Keskin (Koc University, Center for Computationa Biology and Bioinformatics and College of Engineering);
Short Abstract: Hot spots are residues comprising only a small fraction of interfaces yet accounting for the majority of the binding energy. Here, we present a new efficient method to determine computational hot spots based on solvent accessibility and statistical pairwise potentials of the interface residues. Our method reaches 70% accuracy.

Effective atomic interactions for the characterization of protein-ligand binding interfaces
Alex Slater- Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile
Francisco Melo (Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Genética Molecular y Microbiología); Evandro Ferrada (University of Zurich, Department of Biochemistry);
Short Abstract: We describe a method to classify intermolecular interfaces using effective atomic interactions, and tested on 372 ATP-protein complexes. We found a high diversity in binding modes and illustrate specific cases where ligands in same conformation bind proteins with different interfaces, and also give examples where ligands in different conformations bind proteins with the same conformation.

Identifying genetic interactions with sparse hidden factors
Leopold Parts- Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute
Oliver Stegle (University of Cambridge, Cavendish Laboratory); John Winn (Microsoft Research, Cambridge); Richard Durbin (Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, );
Short Abstract: We present a method for learning sparse, biologically informed hidden factors, and include them in a genetic interaction model.For the first time, we find biologically meaningful interactions between genotype and hidden determinants of gene expression, complementing and extending established results.

Determinants of interaction specificity in the plant MADS transcription factor network
Aalt-Jan Van Dijk- PRI, Wageningen University And Research Centre
Roeland van Ham (PRI, Wageningen UR, Applied Bioinformatics); Richard Immink (PRI, Wageningen UR, Plant Developmental Systems); Gerco Angenent (PRI, Wageningen UR, Plant Developmental Systems);
Short Abstract: We obtain sequence-level determinants of protein interaction specificity for the Arabidopsis MADS proteins, which are involved in a wide range of important developmental processes (e.g. floral organ formation). Our predictions were experimentally validated using site-specific mutagenesis and yeast-two-hybrid screening. Not only loss-of-function was observed, but also more revealing gain-of-function.

Short Abstract: We present a local search algorithm to identify correlated motif pairs. We validate the algorithm both on artificial and biological datasets. Our predicted interaction motifs are overrepresented at protein interaction surfaces. For the first time we present the application of correlated motif search on large-scale interaction networks.

Computational prediction of small non-coding RNA targets in bacteria
Andreas Richter- University of Freiburg
Anke Busch (University of Leipzig, Department of Computer Science); Rolf Backofen (University of Freiburg, Department of Computer Science);
Short Abstract: We present a general energy-based approach, IntaRNA, to the prediction of RNA-RNA interactions incorporating both interaction site accessibility and existence of an interaction seed. Its performance has been demonstrated on prediction of bacterial sRNA targets. We also successfully predicted the regulatory outcome of the sRNA-mRNA interaction on translation initiation.

Increasing the reliability and coverage of protein-protein interaction data from tandem affinity purification experiments.
James Vlasblom- University of Toronto
Shuye Pu (Hospital for Sick Children, Molecular structure and function program); Shoshana Wodak (Hospital for Sick Children, Molecular Structure and Function program);
Short Abstract: High throughput purification methods are increasingly successful in identifying protein-protein interactions. However, to achieve acceptable accuracy, many of the observed interactions are discarded during data processing. Here, interactome coverage is extended by integrating additional biological evidence using supervised classification, and potentially novel protein complex components are identified with graph clustering.
