Abstract

Present day approaches for the determination of protein-proteininteraction networks are usually based on two hybrid experimentalmeasurements. Here we consider a computational method that usesanother type of experimental data: instead of direct informationabout protein-protein interactions, we consider data in the form ofprotein complexes. We propose a method for using these complexes toprovide predictions of protein-protein interactions. When appliedto a dataset obtained from a cat melanoma cell line we find that weare able to predict when a protein pair belongs to a complex with∼96% accuracy. Further, we are able to extrapolate theexperimentally identified interaction pairs to the entire catproteome.
