Triplication of the S18 protein in the metazoa Where do the supernumerary subunits come from?
One new, metazoa specific protein of the Large subunit (L48) has been obtained by duplication of a protein from the small subunit (S10) Where do the supernumerary subunits come from?
Addition of « new » paralogous subunits in the large and the small subunit in the metazoa Where do the supernumerary subunits come from?
Addition of a new subunit (L45 / MBA1) that is homologous to TIM44 (protein import) and bacterial proteins of unknown function

MRPL45, Mba1 & Tim44 Mba1 is physically associated with LSU Transcription of Mba1 and MRPs is co-regulated Function of MRPL45 unknown COG4395 (MRPL45&Tim44) has similar phylogenetic distribution as COG3175 (Cox11) Alpha-proteobacterial Tim44 is ancestor of MRPL45 and yeast ortholog Mba1, losing the N- terminus and acquiring a function in translation and COX assembly as a constituent of the mitoribosome

Genomic data sets Comprehensive complex purification data (Krogan, Gavin) Shared Synthetic lethality Co-regulation (ChIP-on-chip) Co-expression Conserved co-expression (orthologous, paralogous, four species) Gene Neighborhood conservation (STRING pink) Gene CoOccurrence (STRING pink)
Complex purifications Fuse query protein with a hook Pull down hook from in vivo extracts Identify proteins that co-purify Socio-Affinity score
Synthetic lethality One knock-out not lethal, second knock- out not lethal, knock- out both lethal Points to complementary pathways Shared synthetic lethality points to same pathway
Objective: distinguish physical from metabolic in omics data We integrate omics data sets for the budding yeast S.cerevisiae because of many high quality data sets as well as classical knowledge about protein functions We construct two separate reference sets: one for physical interactions and one for metabolic interactions. Physical interactions (Mips complexes) –Remove cytosolic ribosomes –Remove “possible”, “hypothetical”, “predicted” –Remove “other” Metabolic interactions (KEGG pathways < 2000) –Remove paralogs –Remove interactions between same EC numbers –Remove interactions that are already physical

Evidence Landscape 1 Absence of physical interactions Metabolic relations in areas where proteomic approaches report no co- purification while strong indications for co-regulation. Logical in hindsight? We should not only use integrations based on the top scoring proteins but also use non-scoring proteins. Need physical protein interaction data sets where the nulls are really true nulls rather than the absence of results Absence of physical interactions Metabolic relations in areas where proteomic approaches report no co- purification while strong indications for co-regulation.

Conclusion & Discussion We can in principle distinguish metabolic and physical interactions, if 2 reference sets, if comprehensive Yet sparse (problem for multi-dimensional) Novel ways of integration and more types of omics data will allow extraction of more qualitative predictions on the nature of protein interactions
