A qualitative model of the yeast cell cycle
• Should be accurate even at the level individual interactions
• Provides a global overview of temporal complex formation

Topology based quality scores
• We developed scoring schemes for identifying sticky interactions
• Yeast two-hybrid data: S1 = -log((N1+1)·(N2+1))
• Scoring scheme for complex pull-down data: S2 = log[N12·N/((N1+1)·(N2+1))]
• Score calibration against KEGG A different raw quality score is
used for each evidence type Quality differences exist among
data sets of the same type
Filtering by subcellular localization
• Proteins cannot interact if they are not in the same place Large-scale subcellular localization screens have been made in yeast A matrix can be constructed that described the compartments between
which interactions should be allowed Two proteins cannot interact if no combination of observed subcellular
compartments allow for interaction
Benchmark of published interaction sets against the MIPS curated yeast complexes
• Data sets were filtered to remove the most obvious biases by removing ribosomal proteins and interactions obtained from MIPS
• High specificity is often obtained at the price of low coverage
The temporal interaction network
Interacting proteins are expressed close in time
Two thirds of the dynamic proteins lack interactions but likely participate in transient interactions
Static proteins comprise a third of the interactions at all times of the cell cycle
Their time of action can be predicted from interactions with dynamic proteins
Static proteins play a major role
Cdc28p and its interaction partners
Just-in-time synthesis vs. just-in-time assembly
Most dynamic proteins are expressed just before they are needed to carry out their function
Most complexes also contain static proteins
Just-in-time assembly of complexes appear to be the general principle
The time of assembly is controlled synthesizing the last subunits just-in-time
Assembly of the pre-replication complex
Network as a discovery tools
The network enables us to place 30+ uncharacterized proteins in a temporal interaction context
Quite detailed hypotheses can be made concerning the their function
The network also contains entire novel modules and complexes
Nucleosome / bud formation module
Rediscovering the “party” hubs and “date” hubs
“Date” hubs: the hub protein interacts with different proteins at different times.
“Party” hubs: the hub protein and its interactors are expressed close in time.
Transcription is linked to phosphorylation
A genome-wide screen identified 332 Cdc28p targets, which include 6% of all yeast proteins 8% of the static proteins 27% of the dynamic ones
A similar correlation was observed with predicted PEST regions
This suggests a hitherto undescribed link between transcriptional and post-translational control
Conclusions
• It is possible to construct highly reliable models from microarray data and high-throughput interaction screen
• Temporal interaction networks can provide an overview of how and when protein complexes are assembled
• Different mechanism for regulating protein activity appear to be tightly linked to each other
