Abstract
Mass-spectrometry-based proteomics allows the quantification of thousands of proteins, protein variants, and their modifications, in many biological samples. These are derived from the measurement of peptide relative quantities, and it is not always possible to distinguish proteins with similar sequences due to the absence of protein-specific peptides. In such cases, peptide signals are reported in protein groups that can correspond to several genes. Here, we show that multi-gene protein groups have a limited impact on GO-term enrichment, but selecting only one gene per group affects network analysis. We thus present the Cytoscape app Proteo Visualizer (https://apps.cytoscape.org/apps/ProteoVisualizer) that is designed for retrieving protein interaction networks from STRING using protein groups as input and thus allows visualisation and network analysis of bottom-up MS-based proteomics data sets.
期刊介绍:
The mission of MCP is to foster the development and applications of proteomics in both basic and translational research. MCP will publish manuscripts that report significant new biological or clinical discoveries underpinned by proteomic observations across all kingdoms of life. Manuscripts must define the biological roles played by the proteins investigated or their mechanisms of action.
The journal also emphasizes articles that describe innovative new computational methods and technological advancements that will enable future discoveries. Manuscripts describing such approaches do not have to include a solution to a biological problem, but must demonstrate that the technology works as described, is reproducible and is appropriate to uncover yet unknown protein/proteome function or properties using relevant model systems or publicly available data.
Scope:
-Fundamental studies in biology, including integrative "omics" studies, that provide mechanistic insights
-Novel experimental and computational technologies
-Proteogenomic data integration and analysis that enable greater understanding of physiology and disease processes
-Pathway and network analyses of signaling that focus on the roles of post-translational modifications
-Studies of proteome dynamics and quality controls, and their roles in disease
-Studies of evolutionary processes effecting proteome dynamics, quality and regulation
-Chemical proteomics, including mechanisms of drug action
-Proteomics of the immune system and antigen presentation/recognition
-Microbiome proteomics, host-microbe and host-pathogen interactions, and their roles in health and disease
-Clinical and translational studies of human diseases
-Metabolomics to understand functional connections between genes, proteins and phenotypes
