Fox AD, et al. (2011) Connectedness of PPI network neighborhoods identifies regulatory hub proteins. Bioinformatics 27(8):1135-42
Abstract: MOTIVATION: With the growing availability of high-throughput protein-protein interaction (PPI) data, it has become possible to consider how a protein's local (or global) network characteristics predict its function. RESULTS: We introduce a graph-theoretic approach that identifies key regulatory proteins in an organism by analyzing proteins' local PPI network structure. We apply the method to the yeast genome and describe several properties of the resulting set of regulatory hubs. Finally, we demonstrate how the identified hubs and putative target gene sets can be used to identify causative, functional regulators of differential gene expression linked to human disease.
