Functional protein annotation is an important matter for in vivo and in silico biology. Several computational methods have been proposed that make use of a wide range of features such as motifs, domains, homology, structure and physicochemical properties. There is no single method that performs best in all functional classification problems because information obtained using any of these features depends on the function to be assigned to the protein. In this study, we portray a novel approach that combines different methods to better represent protein function. First, we formulated the function annotation problem as a classification problem defined on 300 different Gene Ontology (GO) terms from molecular function aspect. We presented a method to form positive and negative training examples while taking into account the directed acyclic graph (DAG) structure and evidence codes of GO. We applied three different methods and their combinations. Results show that combining different methods improves prediction accuracy in most cases. The proposed method, GOPred, is available as an online computational annotation tool (http://kinaz.fen.bilkent.edu.tr/gopred).

Epigenetic Mechanisms Underlying the Dynamic Expression of Cancer-Testis Genes, PAGE2, -2B and SPANX-B, during Mesenchymal-to-Epithelial Transition Yilmaz-Ozcan, Sinem; Sade, Asli; Kucukkaraduman, Baris; Kaygusuz, Yasemin; Senses, Kerem Mert; Banerjee, Sreeparna; GÜRE, ALİ OSMAY (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2014-09-17) Cancer-testis (CT) genes are expressed in various cancers but not in normal tissues other than in cells of the germline. Although DNA demethylation of promoter-proximal CpGs of CT genes is linked to their expression in cancer, the mechanisms leading to demethylation are unknown. To elucidate such mechanisms we chose to study the Caco-2 colorectal cancer cell line during the course of its spontaneous differentiation in vitro, as we found CT genes, in particular PAGE2, -2B and SPANX-B, to be up-regulated duri...
Ca2+ binding induced sequential allosteric activation of sortase A: An example for ion-triggered conformational selection Ugur, Iike; Schatte, Martin; Marıon, Antoıne; Glaser, Manuel; Boenitz-Dulat, Mara; Antes, Iris (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2018-10-15) The allosteric activation of the intrinsically disordered enzyme Staphylococcus aureus sortase A is initiated via binding of a Ca2+ ion. Although Ca2+ binding was shown to initiate structural changes inducing disorder-to-order transitions, the details of the allosteric activation mechanism remain elusive. We performed long-term molecular dynamics simulations of sortase A without (3 simulations of 1.6 mu s) and with bound Ca2+ (simulations of 1.6 mu s, 1.8 mu s, and 2.5 mu s). Our results show that Ca2+ bind...
Cancer onset and progression: A genome-wide, nonlinear dynamical systems perspective on onconetworks Qu, K.; Haidar, A. Abi; Fan, J.; Ensman, L.; Tuncay, Kağan; Jolly, M.; Ortoleva, P. (Elsevier BV, 2007-05-21) It is hypothesized that the many human cell types corresponding to multiple states is supported by an underlying nonlinear dynamical system (NDS) of transcriptional regulatory network (TRN) processes. This hypothesis is validated for epithelial cells whose TRN is found to support an extremely complex array of states that we term a "bifurcation nexus", for which we introduce a quantitative measure of complexity. The TRN used is constructed and analyzed by integrating a database of TRN information, cDNA micro...
Characterising Complex Enzyme Reaction Data Dönertaş, Handan Melike; Cuesta, Sergio Martínez; Rahman, Syed Asad; Thornton, Janet M. (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2016-2-3) The relationship between enzyme-catalysed reactions and the Enzyme Commission (EC) number, the widely accepted classification scheme used to characterise enzyme activity, is complex and with the rapid increase in our knowledge of the reactions catalysed by enzymes needs revisiting. We present a manual and computational analysis to investigate this complexity and found that almost one-third of all known EC numbers are linked to more than one reaction in the secondary reaction databases (e.g., KEGG). Although...
HPO2GO: prediction of human phenotype ontology term associations for proteins using cross ontology annotation co-occurrences Doğan, Tunca (PeerJ, 2018-8-2) Analysing the relationships between biomolecules and the genetic diseases is a highly active area of research, where the aim is to identify the genes and their products that cause a particular disease due to functional changes originated from mutations. Biological ontologies are frequently employed in these studies, which provides researchers with extensive opportunities for knowledge discovery through computational data analysis. In this study, a novel approach is proposed for the identification of relatio...
