Abstract

We systematically analyzed the relationships between gene fitness profiles (co-fitness) and drug inhibition profiles (co-inhibition) from several hundred chemogenomic screens in yeast. Co-fitness predicted gene functions distinct from those derived from other assays and identified conditionally dependent protein complexes. Co-inhibitory compounds were weakly correlated by structure and therapeutic class. We developed an algorithm predicting protein targets of chemical compounds and verified its accuracy with experimental testing. Fitness data provide a novel, systems-level perspective on the cell.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The molecular target of psychoactive drugs drofenine, clozapine, propiomazine, and metergoline was suggested to be the small ribosomal subunit and cytochrome c oxidase (COX17).

    “For example, following this approach, the molecular target of psychoactive drugs, such as drofenine, clozapine, propiomazine, and metergoline, were suggested to be small ribosomal subunit and cytochrome c oxidase (COX17), the terminal component of the mitochondrial respiratory chain [17].”
  • In S. cerevisiae, the small ribosomal subunit and cytochrome c oxidase are targets of psychoactive drugs.

    “Hillenmeyer et al. reported that, in the same microbe, the small ribosomal subunit and cytochrome c oxidase are the targets of psychoactive drugs [17].”

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.
