Protein-Protein Interaction Network Alignment and Evolution by Brian Man-Kin Law A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Computer Science University of Toronto © Copyright by Brian Law 2019 Protein-Protein Interaction Network Alignment and Evolution Brian Law Doctor of Philosophy Computer Science University of Toronto 2019 Abstract Network alignment is an emerging analysis method enabled by the rapid large-scale collection of protein-protein interaction data for many different species. As sequence alignment did for gene evolution, network alignment will hopefully provide new insights into network evolution and serve as a new bioinformatic tool for making biological inferences across species. Using new SH3 binding data from Saccharomyces cerevisiae , Caenorhabditis elegans , and Homo sapiens , I construct new interface-interaction networks and devise a new network alignment method for these networks. With appropriate parameterization, this method is highly successful at generating alignments that reflect known protein orthology information and contain high network topology overlap. However, close examination of the optimal parameterization reveals a heavy reliance on protein sequence similarity and fungibility of other data features, including network topology data, an observation that may also pertain to protein-protein interaction network alignment. Closer examination of interactomic data, along with established orthology data, reveals that protein-protein interaction conservation is quite low across multiple species, suggesting that the high network topology overlap achieved by contemporary network aligners is ill-advised if biological relevance of results is desired. Further consideration of gene duplication and protein ii binding sites reveal additional PPI evolution phenomena further reducing the network topology overlap expected in network alignments, casting doubt on the utility of network alignment metrics solely based on network topology. Instead, I suggest a new framework to think about protein-protein interaction network alignment focused on generating and validating small-scale inferences. I create a prototype alignment visualization and analysis tool to facilitate this approach, which will hopefully aid researchers in learning more about the mechanisms of network evolution and how network alignment can model them. iii Acknowledgments I would like to thank my supervisor Gary Bader, without whom this thesis would never exist. His unfailing confidence and patience were my constant companions on this long journey, whether I was working myself into a frenzy or paralyzed by doubt. Even when I felt it unwarranted, Gary’s belief in me never wavered, and without his encouragement, I would have turned off this path long ago. Thank you. I would like to thank the members of my committee Derek Corneil, Alan Moses, and Zhaolei Zhang for their insight and support. Their questions and ideas have occupied me for many years, and I regret I still cannot provide the answers that they deserve. The challenges they have laid out for me have driven, inspired, and haunted me over the years, and I will continue striving to meet them. Thank you. I would like to thank the graduate office staff at the Department of Computer Science, past and present: Julie Weedmark, Linda Chow, Kolden Simmons, Vinita Krishnan, Margaret Meaney, Celeste Francis Esteves, Erin Bedard, Vivian Hwang, and Lynda Barnes, for their assistance in navigating the rocky shoals of academic bureaucracy. I am unsure any graduate student could finish their degrees in our department without their assistance, and yet their response to my incompetence with paperwork was never anything but helpfulness. Thank you. I would like to thank the many people, too many people to name, who have touched my life positively and kept me on track these past years. My fellow Computer Science graduate students, my CCBR 6 th floor-mates, my Bader Lab compatriots, the many undergraduate students I have had the pleasure of teaching, my CUPE 3902 comrades, my teaching faculty mentors, my friends and my family. This has been a long and difficult labour, and it may have entirely consumed me but you reminded me that there was more to do, more to me than simply my work. Thank you. Finally, I would like to apologize to my grandmother, (Monica) Tack Ching Soong. I thought I would have more time to make you proud of me. I took it for granted while you raised me, cared for me, nurtured me. I never expected it would dwindle so quickly, and now that I am out of time, I find it supplanted by regret, so many regrets, big and small. I am sorry. iv Table of Contents Acknowledgments.......................................................................................................................... iv Table of Contents .............................................................................................................................v List of Tables ................................................................................................................................. ix List of Figures ..................................................................................................................................x List of Appendices ....................................................................................................................... xiii List of Abbreviations ................................................................................................................... xiv Chapter 1 ..........................................................................................................................................1 Background .................................................................................................................................2 1.1 Introduction ..........................................................................................................................2 1.1.1 Comparative Evolution ............................................................................................2 1.1.2 Protein-Protein Interactions .....................................................................................3 1.1.3 Protein-Protein Interaction Data Quality .................................................................5 1.1.4 Interface-Interaction Networks ................................................................................6 1.2 Protein-Protein Interaction Network Alignment ................................................................11 1.2.1 Theoretical Considerations ....................................................................................12 1.2.2 Local Network Alignment .....................................................................................13 1.2.3 Global Network Alignment....................................................................................14 1.2.4 Assessment and Evaluation of Network Alignments.............................................17 1.3 Protein-Protein Interaction Network Evolution .................................................................27 1.3.1 Fundamentals and Applications .............................................................................27 1.3.2 Models for Protein-Protein Interaction Networks..................................................29 1.4 Protein-Protein Interaction Network Alignment Visualization .........................................31 Chapter 2 ........................................................................................................................................33 Alignment of Interface-Interaction Networks ...........................................................................34 2.1 Introduction ........................................................................................................................34 v 2.1.1 Network Alignment Theory ...................................................................................34 2.1.2 Interface-Interaction Networks ..............................................................................35 2.1.3 Protein-Protein Interaction Network Alignment ....................................................36 2.2 Results ................................................................................................................................39 2.2.1 Comparison with PPIN Alignment Algorithms .....................................................39 2.2.2 Incorporating More Similarity Features.................................................................45 2.2.3 Parameter Weight Tuning ......................................................................................47 2.2.4 A Zoom-in ..............................................................................................................48 2.2.5 Yeast Subspecies Alignments ................................................................................51 2.3 Discussion ..........................................................................................................................53 2.4 Conclusions ........................................................................................................................58 2.5 Methods..............................................................................................................................58 2.5.1 Algorithm ...............................................................................................................58 2.5.2 Comparison Algorithms .........................................................................................61

  • Genetic Variants Contribute to Gene Expression Variability in Humans

    Genetic Variants Contribute to Gene Expression Variability in Humans

    INVESTIGATION Genetic Variants Contribute to Gene Expression Variability in Humans Amanda M. Hulse* and James J. Cai*,†,1 *Interdisciplinary Program in Genetics and †Department of Veterinary Integrative Biosciences, Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas 77843-4458 ABSTRACT Expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) studies have established convincing relationships between genetic variants and gene expression. Most of these studies focused on the mean of gene expression level, but not the variance of gene expression level (i.e., gene expression variability). In the present study, we systematically explore genome-wide association between genetic variants and gene expression variability in humans. We adapt the double generalized linear model (dglm) to simultaneously fit the means and the variances of gene expression among the three possible genotypes of a biallelic SNP. The genomic loci showing significant association between the variances of gene expression and the genotypes are termed expression variability QTL (evQTL). Using a data set of gene expression in lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) derived from 210 HapMap individuals, we identify cis-acting evQTL involving 218 distinct genes, among which 8 genes, ADCY1, CTNNA2, DAAM2, FERMT2, IL6, PLOD2, SNX7, and TNFRSF11B, are cross-validated using an extra expression data set of the same LCLs. We also identify 300 trans-acting evQTL between .13,000 common SNPs and 500 randomly selected representative genes. We employ two distinct scenarios, emphasizing single-SNP and multiple-SNP effects on expression variability, to explain the formation of evQTL. We argue that detecting evQTL may represent a novel method for effectively screening for genetic interactions, especially when the multiple-SNP influence on expression variability is implied.

We utilized an informatics-based approach to develop a transcriptional signature of β-cell GA stress using existing RNA sequencing and microarray datasets generated using human islets from donors with diabetes and islets where type 1(T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) had been modeled ex vivo. To narrow our results to GA-specific genes, we applied a filter set of 1,030 genes accepted as GA associated.

    Patterns of DNA methylation on the human X chromosome and use in analyzing X-chromosome inactivation by Allison Marie Cotton B.Sc., The University of Guelph, 2005 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Medical Genetics) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) January 2012 © Allison Marie Cotton, 2012 Abstract The process of X-chromosome inactivation achieves dosage compensation between mammalian males and females. In females one X chromosome is transcriptionally silenced through a variety of epigenetic modifications including DNA methylation. Most X-linked genes are subject to X-chromosome inactivation and only expressed from the active X chromosome. On the inactive X chromosome, the CpG island promoters of genes subject to X-chromosome inactivation are methylated in their promoter regions, while genes which escape from X- chromosome inactivation have unmethylated CpG island promoters on both the active and inactive X chromosomes. The first objective of this thesis was to determine if the DNA methylation of CpG island promoters could be used to accurately predict X chromosome inactivation status. The second objective was to use DNA methylation to predict X-chromosome inactivation status in a variety of tissues. A comparison of blood, muscle, kidney and neural tissues revealed tissue-specific X-chromosome inactivation, in which 12% of genes escaped from X-chromosome inactivation in some, but not all, tissues. X-linked DNA methylation analysis of placental tissues predicted four times higher escape from X-chromosome inactivation than in any other tissue. Despite the hypomethylation of repetitive elements on both the X chromosome and the autosomes, no changes were detected in the frequency or intensity of placental Cot-1 holes.

Prashanth1 , Basavaraj Vastrad2 , Anandkumar Tengli3 , Chanabasayya Vastrad4* and Iranna Kotturshetti5 Abstract Background: Obesity associated type 2 diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder ; however, the etiology of obesity associated type 2 diabetes mellitus remains largely unknown. There is an urgent need to further broaden the understanding of the molecular mechanism associated in obesity associated type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: To screen the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) that might play essential roles in obesity associated type 2 diabetes mellitus, the publicly available expression profiling by high throughput sequencing data (GSE143319) was downloaded and screened for DEGs. Then, Gene Ontology (GO) and REACTOME pathway enrichment analysis were performed. The protein - protein interaction network, miRNA - target genes regulatory network and TF-target gene regulatory network were constructed and analyzed for identification of hub and target genes. The hub genes were validated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and RT- PCR analysis. Finally, a molecular docking study was performed on over expressed proteins to predict the target small drug molecules. Results: A total of 820 DEGs were identified between

Here, we identify PQBP1 as an alternative messenger RNA (mRNA) splicing (AS) effector capable of influencing splicing of multiple mRNA targets. PQBP1 is associated with many splicing factors, including the key U2 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP) component SF3B1 (subunit 1 of the splicing factor 3B [SF3B] protein complex). Loss of functional PQBP1 reduced SF3B1 substrate mRNA association and led to significant changes in AS patterns. Depletion of PQBP1 in primary mouse neurons reduced dendritic outgrowth and altered AS of mRNAs enriched for functions in neuron projection development. Disease-linked PQBP1 mutants were deficient in splicing factor associations and could not complement neurite outgrowth defects. Our results indicate that PQBP1 can affect the AS of multiple mRNAs and indicate specific affected targets whose splice site determination may contribute to the disease phenotype in PQBP1-linked neurological disorders.
