    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.

Abstract With the advent of high-throughput technologies for genome-wide expression profiling, a large number of methods have been proposed to discover gene-based signatures as biomarkers to guide cancer prognosis. However, it is often difficult to interpret the list of genes in a prognostic signature regarding the underlying biological processes responsible for disease progression or therapeutic response. A particularly interesting alternative to gene-based biomarkers is mechanistic biomarkers, derived from signaling pathway activities, which are known to play a key role in cancer progression and thus provide more informative insights into cellular functions involved in cancer mechanism.

  • Interactome Analyses Revealed That the U1 Snrnp Machinery Overlaps Extensively with the RNAP II Machinery and Contains Multiple
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Interactome analyses revealed that the U1 snRNP machinery overlaps extensively with the RNAP II Received: 12 April 2018 Accepted: 24 May 2018 machinery and contains multiple Published: xx xx xxxx ALS/SMA-causative proteins Binkai Chi1, Jeremy D. O’Connell1,2, Tomohiro Yamazaki1, Jaya Gangopadhyay1, Steven P. Gygi1 & Robin Reed1 Mutations in multiple RNA/DNA binding proteins cause Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Included among these are the three members of the FET family (FUS, EWSR1 and TAF15) and the structurally similar MATR3. Here, we characterized the interactomes of these four proteins, revealing that they largely have unique interactors, but share in common an association with U1 snRNP. The latter observation led us to analyze the interactome of the U1 snRNP machinery. Surprisingly, this analysis revealed the interactome contains ~220 components, and of these, >200 are shared with the RNA polymerase II (RNAP II) machinery. Among the shared components are multiple ALS and Spinal muscular Atrophy (SMA)-causative proteins and numerous discrete complexes, including the SMN complex, transcription factor complexes, and RNA processing complexes. Together, our data indicate that the RNAP II/U1 snRNP machinery functions in a wide variety of molecular pathways, and these pathways are candidates for playing roles in ALS/SMA pathogenesis. Te neurodegenerative disease Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) has no known treatment, and elucidation of disease mechanisms is urgently needed. Tis problem has been especially daunting, as mutations in greater than 30 genes are ALS-causative, and these genes function in numerous cellular pathways1. Tese include mitophagy, autophagy, cytoskeletal dynamics, vesicle transport, DNA damage repair, RNA dysfunction, apoptosis, and pro- tein aggregation2–6.

  • Miz1 Is Required to Maintain Autophagic Flux
    ARTICLE Received 3 Apr 2013 | Accepted 3 Sep 2013 | Published 3 Oct 2013 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms3535 Miz1 is required to maintain autophagic flux Elmar Wolf1,*, Anneli Gebhardt1,*, Daisuke Kawauchi2, Susanne Walz1, Bjo¨rn von Eyss1, Nicole Wagner3, Christoph Renninger3, Georg Krohne1, Esther Asan3, Martine F. Roussel2 & Martin Eilers1,4 Miz1 is a zinc finger protein that regulates the expression of cell cycle inhibitors as part of a complex with Myc. Cell cycle-independent functions of Miz1 are poorly understood. Here we use a Nestin-Cre transgene to delete an essential domain of Miz1 in the central nervous system (Miz1DPOZNes). Miz1DPOZNes mice display cerebellar neurodegeneration characterized by the progressive loss of Purkinje cells. Chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing and biochemical analyses show that Miz1 activates transcription upon binding to a non-palin- dromic sequence present in core promoters. Target genes of Miz1 encode regulators of autophagy and proteins involved in vesicular transport that are required for autophagy. Miz1DPOZ neuronal progenitors and fibroblasts show reduced autophagic flux. Consistently, polyubiquitinated proteins and p62/Sqtm1 accumulate in the cerebella of Miz1DPOZNes mice, characteristic features of defective autophagy. Our data suggest that Miz1 may link cell growth and ribosome biogenesis to the transcriptional regulation of vesicular transport and autophagy. 1 Theodor Boveri Institute, Biocenter, University of Wu¨rzburg, Am Hubland, 97074 Wu¨rzburg, Germany. 2 Department of Tumor Cell Biology, MS#350, Danny Thomas Research Center, 5006C, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Memphis, Tennessee 38105, USA. 3 Institute for Anatomy and Cell Biology, University of Wu¨rzburg, Koellikerstrasse 6, 97070 Wu¨rzburg, Germany. 4 Comprehensive Cancer Center Mainfranken, Josef-Schneider-Strasse 6, 97080 Wu¨rzburg, Germany.

  • Unbiased Data Mining Identifies Cell Cycle Transcripts That Predict Non-Indolent Gleason Score 7 Prostate Cancer Wendy L
    Johnston et al. BMC Urology (2019) 19:4 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12894-018-0433-5 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Unbiased data mining identifies cell cycle transcripts that predict non-indolent Gleason score 7 prostate cancer Wendy L. Johnston1* , Charles N. Catton1,2 and Carol J. Swallow3,4,5,6 Abstract Background: Patients with newly diagnosed non-metastatic prostate adenocarcinoma are typically classified as at low, intermediate, or high risk of disease progression using blood prostate-specific antigen concentration, tumour T category, and tumour pathological Gleason score. Classification is used to both predict clinical outcome and to inform initial management. However, significant heterogeneity is observed in outcome, particularly within the intermediate risk group, and there is an urgent need for additional markers to more accurately hone risk prediction. Recently developed web-based visualization and analysis tools have facilitated rapid interrogation of large transcriptome datasets, and querying broadly across multiple large datasets should identify predictors that are widely applicable. Methods: We used camcAPP, cBioPortal, CRN, and NIH NCI GDC Data Portal to data mine publicly available large prostate cancer datasets. A test set of biomarkers was developed by identifying transcripts that had: 1) altered abundance in prostate cancer, 2) altered expression in patients with Gleason score 7 tumours and biochemical recurrence, 3) correlation of expression with time until biochemical recurrence across three datasets (Cambridge, Stockholm, MSKCC). Transcripts that met these criteria were then examined in a validation dataset (TCGA-PRAD) using univariate and multivariable models to predict biochemical recurrence in patients with Gleason score 7 tumours. Results: Twenty transcripts met the test criteria, and 12 were validated in TCGA-PRAD Gleason score 7 patients.

  • A Single Gene Network Accurately Predicts Phenotypic Effects of Gene Perturbation in Caenorhabditis Elegans
    ARTICLES A single gene network accurately predicts phenotypic effects of gene perturbation in Caenorhabditis elegans Insuk Lee1,4, Ben Lehner2–4, Catriona Crombie2, Wendy Wong2, Andrew G Fraser2 & Edward M Marcotte1 The fundamental aim of genetics is to understand how an organism’s phenotype is determined by its genotype, and implicit in this is predicting how changes in DNA sequence alter phenotypes. A single network covering all the genes of an organism might guide such predictions down to the level of individual cells and tissues. To validate this approach, we computationally generated a network covering most C. elegans genes and tested its predictive capacity. Connectivity within this network predicts essentiality, identifying this relationship as an evolutionarily conserved biological principle. Critically, the network makes tissue-specific predictions—we accurately identify genes for most systematically assayed loss-of-function phenotypes, which span diverse http://www.nature.com/naturegenetics cellular and developmental processes. Using the network, we identify 16 genes whose inactivation suppresses defects in the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor pathway, and we successfully predict that the dystrophin complex modulates EGF signaling. We conclude that an analogous network for human genes might be similarly predictive and thus facilitate identification of disease genes and rational therapeutic targets. The central goal of genetics is to understand how heritable informa- not explicitly reflect multiple cell types, tissues or stages of

Briefly, among the 15 people with radiologically documented SIT, those who had symptoms reminiscent of PCD, or who were formally diagnosed with PCD according to their medical record, were categorized as having Kartagener syndrome. Those who had no reported symptoms or formal diagnosis of PCD were assigned to the non-PCD SIT group. Handedness was assessed using the Edinburgh Handedness Inventory (EHI) (2). Tables 1 and S1 give overviews of the participants and their characteristics. Note that one non-PCD SIT subject reported being forced to switch from left- to right-handedness in childhood, in which case five out of nine of the non-PCD SIT cases are naturally left-handed (Table 1, Table S1).
