Reconstruction of protein interaction networks that represent groups of proteins contributing to the same cellular function is a key step towards quantitative studies of signal transduction pathways. Here we present a novel approach to reconstruct a highly correlated protein interaction network and to identify previously unknown components of a signaling pathway through integration of protein-protein interaction data, gene expression data, and Gene Ontology annotations. A novel algorithm is designed to reconstruct a highly correlated protein interaction network which is composed of the candidate proteins for signal transduction mechanisms in yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The high efficiency of the reconstruction process is proved by a Receiver Operating Characteristic curve analysis. Identification and scoring of the possible linear pathways enables reconstruction of specific sub-networks for glucose-induction signaling and high osmolarity MAPK signaling in S. cerevisiae. All of the known components of these pathways are identified together with several new "candidate" proteins, indicating the successful reconstructions of two model pathways involved in S. cerevisiae. The integrated approach is hence shown useful for (i) prediction of new signaling pathways, (ii) identification of unknown members of documented pathways, and (iii) identification of network modules consisting of a group of related components that often incorporate the same functional mechanism.

D015398 Signal Transduction The intracellular transfer of information (biological activation/inhibition) through a signal pathway. In each signal transduction system, an activation/inhibition signal from a biologically active molecule (hormone, neurotransmitter) is mediated via the coupling of a receptor/enzyme to a second messenger system or to an ion channel. Signal transduction plays an important role in activating cellular functions, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation. Examples of signal transduction systems are the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-postsynaptic receptor-calcium ion channel system, the receptor-mediated T-cell activation pathway, and the receptor-mediated activation of phospholipases. Those coupled to membrane depolarization or intracellular release of calcium include the receptor-mediated activation of cytotoxic functions in granulocytes and the synaptic potentiation of protein kinase activation. Some signal transduction pathways may be part of larger signal transduction pathways; for example, protein kinase activation is part of the platelet activation signal pathway.
