- W1533405653 abstract "The study of protein-protein interactions and how these interactions determine the function and behavior of the living systems is nowadays one of the fundamental questions of Systems Biology. The emergence of a number of experimental techniques providing protein interaction data at a genome scale have boosted the study of biological problems that can be studied now considering the complete network of interactions not just as the sum of the parts. Nevertheless, these experimental procedures usually suffer from technical problems, producing poor coverages or large numbers of false positives. As an alternative to complement the experimental methods, a set of computational approaches have tried to take advantage of the different evolutive landmarks that interacting proteins print on their genes. For instance, evidence suggests that functionally related and potentially interacting proteins tend to evolve in a coordinated way, thereby presenting similar phylogenetic trees. A particularly successful family of methods, known as mirrortree, has emerged to quantify this co- evolution at a sequence level as a sign of interaction at a molecular level. Over the last decade, this family of techniques has demonstrated its ability to perform genome-wide protein interaction pre- dictions, even reaching accuracies similar to their experimental counterparts. However, a number of problems affecting protein interaction prediction have appeared, either derived from technical issues or inherited from the incomplete understanding of the underlying evolutionary process. Over the coming years, these problems may have a dramatic impact on the global performance of the methods. The main proposal of this thesis is to diagnose the aforementioned problems limiting the full implementation of co-evolution-based prediction of protein interactions, in order to offer possible solutions, potential applications and foreseeable developments. During the last years, the mirrortree-based family of techniques has largely been used to predict protein interactions mostly in genome-wide computational experiments. Nevertheless, the co-evolution-based prediction has also shown adequate when single pairs of proteins need to be evaluated. As a consequence, we present the Mirrortree Server, which allows users with any level of expertise to graphically and interactively study the co-evolution of two protein families in a taxonomic context. More difficulties arise when the co-evolution analysis is performed for large sets of potentially interacting proteins. Since little is known about the latent evolutionary signal, whether the tree similarity is due to compensatory changes or to similarities in the evolutionary rate, is a pivotal question that will condition future research on this issue. We evaluate the true extent of previous discussions in this regard by incorporating predicted solvent accessibility to mirrortree-based predictions, which also allowed to improve performance predicting some types of interactions. Other problems arise as a consequence of the growing number of sequenced organisms available. In that sense, we show that the performance of mirrortree-based methodologies depends on the set of organisms used to build the trees and how the selection of certain subsets of organisms seems to be more suitable for the prediction of certain types of interactions. Finally, considering all the aforementioned analysis, we propose a new mirrortree-based method denominated p-mirrortree which calculates the statistical significance of a given tree similarity based on a null distribution of random co-evolution. Besides the performance improvement, important information on the structure, function, and evolution of macromolecular complexes can be obtained using this novel methodology." @default.
