چکیده

backgroud: protein-protein interaction, plays a key role in signal transduction in signaling pathways. different approaches are used for prediction of these interactions including experimental and computational approaches. in conventional node-edge protein-protein interaction networks, we can only see which proteins interact but ‘structural networks’ show us how these proteins interact which can give us so much information about the network. structural networks help us understand the molecular basis of cellular functions and regulatory mechanisms in signaling pathways. in this study, we aimed to construct a structural network for a part of camp signaling pathway which has pka (camp-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit alpha) as the hub. materials and methods: a part of camp signaling pathway was selected from kegg database and interactions of pka as hub protein with some of its partners were achieved using hex8.00 software. the interfaces of the resulted complexes were predicted by kfc2 server. results: hex8.00, as a docking software, gave us the complexes from the interaction of pka with 15 proteins of its partners. for each complex, the kfc2 server gave us the amino acid composition of the interfaces. using this amino acid composition, we draw a structural network which shows the binding sites on pka surface. conclusion: we have constructed a structural network for camp signaling pathway which shows how pka interacts with its partners. this network can be used for understanding the mechanisms of signal transduction and also for drug design purposes.

Homocysteine activates cAMP-response element binding protein in HepG2 through cAMP/PKA signaling pathway.

OBJECTIVE Hyperhomocysteinemia is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disorders. Our previous studies demonstrated that hyperhomocysteinemia not only elicited inflammatory responses in the vascular endothelium but also induced fatty liver and hypercholesterolemia via transcriptional regulation. One of the transcription factors activated in the liver during hyperhomocysteinemia was cAM...

Structural Descriptors of Protein-Protein Binding Sites

Structural bioinformatics provides new tools for investigating protein-protein interactions at the molecular level. We present two types of structural descriptors for efficiently representing and comparing protein-protein binding sites and surface patches. The descriptors are based on distributions of distances between five types of functional atoms, thereby capturing the spatial arrangement of...

Construction and Analysis of Tissue-Specific Protein-Protein Interaction Networks in Humans

We have studied the changes in protein-protein interaction network of 38 different tissues of the human body. 123 gene expression samples from these tissues were used to construct human protein-protein interaction network. This network is then pruned using the gene expression samples of each tissue to construct different protein-protein interaction networks corresponding to different studied ti...

Analyzing protein interaction networks using structural information.

Determining protein interaction networks and predicting network changes in time and space are crucial to understanding and modeling a biological system. In the past few years, the combination of experimental and computational tools has allowed great progress toward reaching this goal. Experimental methods include the large-scale determination of protein interactions using two-hybrid or pull-dow...
