Abstract

Motivation: Protein complexes are important for understanding principles of cellular organization and function. High-throughput experimental techniques have produced a large amount of protein interactions, which makes it possible to predict protein complexes from protein–protein interaction (PPI) networks. However, protein interaction data produced by high-throughput experiments are often associated with high false positive and false negative rates, which makes it difficult to predict complexes accurately. Results: We use an iterative scoring method to assign weight to protein pairs, and the weight of a protein pair indicates the reliability of the interaction between the two proteins. We develop an algorithm called CMC (clustering-based on maximal cliques) to discover complexes from the weighted PPI network. CMC first generates all the maximal cliques from the PPI networks, and then removes or merges highly overlapped clusters based on their interconnectivity. We studied the performance of CMC and the impact of our iterative scoring method on CMC. Our results show that: (i) the iterative scoring method can improve the performance of CMC considerably; (ii) the iterative scoring method can effectively reduce the impact of random noise on the performance of CMC; (iii) the iterative scoring method can also improve the performance of other protein complex prediction methods and reduce the impact of random noise on their performance; and (iv) CMC is an effective approach to protein complex prediction from protein interaction network.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
