  • Analysis of Gene Expression Data for Gene Ontology
    ANALYSIS OF GENE EXPRESSION DATA FOR GENE ONTOLOGY BASED PROTEIN FUNCTION PREDICTION A Thesis Presented to The Graduate Faculty of The University of Akron In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science Robert Daniel Macholan May 2011 ANALYSIS OF GENE EXPRESSION DATA FOR GENE ONTOLOGY BASED PROTEIN FUNCTION PREDICTION Robert Daniel Macholan Thesis Approved: Accepted: _______________________________ _______________________________ Advisor Department Chair Dr. Zhong-Hui Duan Dr. Chien-Chung Chan _______________________________ _______________________________ Committee Member Dean of the College Dr. Chien-Chung Chan Dr. Chand K. Midha _______________________________ _______________________________ Committee Member Dean of the Graduate School Dr. Yingcai Xiao Dr. George R. Newkome _______________________________ Date ii ABSTRACT A tremendous increase in genomic data has encouraged biologists to turn to bioinformatics in order to assist in its interpretation and processing. One of the present challenges that need to be overcome in order to understand this data more completely is the development of a reliable method to accurately predict the function of a protein from its genomic information. This study focuses on developing an effective algorithm for protein function prediction. The algorithm is based on proteins that have similar expression patterns. The similarity of the expression data is determined using a novel measure, the slope matrix. The slope matrix introduces a normalized method for the comparison of expression levels throughout a proteome. The algorithm is tested using real microarray gene expression data. Their functions are characterized using gene ontology annotations. The results of the case study indicate the protein function prediction algorithm developed is comparable to the prediction algorithms that are based on the annotations of homologous proteins.

Human mutagenesis is largely random, thus large Introduction coding regions, simply on the basis of probability, represent relatively large mutagenesis targets. Thus, we considered Genetic damage is largely random and therefore tends to the possibility that large cytoskeletal-protein related coding affect the larger, functional regions of the human genome regions (CPCRs), including extra-cellular matrix (ECM) more frequently than the smaller regions (1). For example, coding regions, would have systemic nucleotide variants that a systematic study has revealed that cancer fusion genes, on are not present in common SNP databases.

Immunogen: Recombinant protein Pirh2, also known as Androgen receptor N-terminal-interacting protein (ARNIP), ZN363 or CHIMP, has p53-induced ubiquitin-protein ligase activity, promoting p53 degradation. The protein physically interacts with p53 and the resulting degradation of p53 renders Pirh2 an oncogenic protein as the loss of p53 function contributes to malignant tumor development. The gene Description: encoding for the protein maps to chromosome 4q21.1 and transcription of this gene is regulated by p53. Pirh2 expression decreases the level of p53 and a decrease of endogenous Pirh2 expression ups p53 levels. Pirh2 is therefore considered, together with MDM2, to be acting as a negative reg- ulator of p53 function. Uniprot: Q96PM5(Human) BiowMW: 30 kDa Buffer: 1*TBS (pH7.4), 1%BSA, 40%Glycerol.

Juvenile triploid rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were fed a low-phosphorus (P) diet for 27 weeks (60 to 630 g body mass). At study termination, 24.9% of the fish fed the low-P diet displayed homogeneous biconcave vertebrae (deformed vertebrae phenotype), while 5.5% displayed normal vertebral phenotypes for the entire experiment. The aim of our study was to characterize the deformed phenotype and identify the putative genes involved in the appearance of P deficiency-induced deformities. Both P status and biomechanical measurements showed that deformed vertebrae were significantly less mineralized (55.0 ± 0.4 and 59.4 ± 0.5,% ash DM, for deformed and normal vertebrae, respectively) resulting in a lower stiffness (80.3 ± 9.0 and 140.2 ± 6.3 N/mm, for deformed and normal phenotypes, respectively).
