Ohnologs and Regulatory Networks Robbie Sedgewick Group Meeting March 2, 2006
Ohnologs: paralogs that arose through polyploidization ● Ohnologs taken from YGOB (Byrne & Wolfe 2005) ● 554 Ohnolog pairs ● 1108/6540 = 17% of yeast genome is an ohnolog ● Relatively complete dataset. ● Sparse graph
Regulatory Network ● Harbison et al ● Used CHIP to identify binding locations for 203 TFs ● Of those, 102 TF’s had enough hits to determine TF binding sites (motifs) computationally with constraints on binding strength and (optionally) conservation. ● Noisy. ● Not complete.
Basic facts about the regulatory data. p < 0.001P < No conservation “Loose” 9778 regulations Conserved in 2 yeasts Conserved in 3 yeasts “Strict” 3328 regulations

Combining ohnology and regulation g1 is significantly similar to g3 g1 regulates g2 g1 g2 g3 g4g5 g4 is significantly similar to g5 and regulates g5
Compare with randomized graphs Compare with paralogs Null hypotheses
Paralogs ● Use sequence similarity to determine Paralogy. ● Eval cutoff of (soon to use NC) ● 8572 paralogous pairs ● Dense (compared to ohnologs) ● Error prone
Randomization method ● Method due to George and Robbie ● Take two networks and scramble the name mapping between them. ● Results in random combination of graphs that preserves network properties (e.g., node degree) of both component graphs.
Randomization method (name lookup) (scrambled lookup table)

An example: Duplicated Iron Pathway? ● AFT1 and AFT2 are TFs that are also ohnologs and both regulate iron deprivation response pathways. ● 26 of the 60 genes regulated by AFT2 are ohnologs (strict). ● Maybe iron deprivation response pathway was duplicated in WGD? buffering?

Additional Sources of Data ● Gene Coexpression ● Synthetic Lethal interactions ● Protein-Protein interactions (Y2H) ● Domain information ● Genes that were ohnologs (singletons from YGOB)
