  7. Systems biology Biological research in the 1900s followed a reductionist approach: detect unusual phenotype  isolate/purify 1 protein/gene, determine its function However, it is increasingly clear that discrete biological function can only rarely be attributed to an individual molecule.  new task of understanding the structure and dynamics of the complex intercellular web of interactions that contribute to the structure and function of a living cell. Bioinformatics III

  8. Systems biology Development of high-throughput data-collection techniques, e.g. microarrays, protein chips, yeast two-hybrid screens allow to simultaneously interrogate all cell components at any given time.  there exists various types of interaction webs/networks - protein-protein interaction network - metabolic network - signalling network - transcription/regulatory network ... These networks are not independent but form „network of networks“. Bioinformatics III

  16. Second breakthrough: Yeast protein interaction network:first example of a scale-free network A map of protein–protein interactions in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which is based on early yeast two-hybrid measurements, illustrates that a few highly connected nodes (which are also known as hubs) hold the network together. The largest cluster, which contains 78% of all proteins, is shown. The colour of a node indicates the phenotypic effect of removing the corresponding protein (red = lethal, green = non-lethal, orange = slow growth, yellow = unknown). Barabasi & Oltvai, Nature Rev Gen 5, 101 (2004) Bioinformatics III

  17. Characterising metabolic networks To study the network characteristics of the metabolism a graph theoretic description needs to be established. (a) illustrates the graph theoretic description for a simple pathway (catalysed by Mg2+-dependant enzymes). (b) In the most abstract approach all interacting metabolites are considered equally. The links between nodes represent reactions that interconvert one substrate into another. For many biological applications it is useful to ignore co-factors, such as the high-energy-phosphate donor ATP, which results (c) in a second type of mapping that connects only the main source metabolites to the main products. Barabasi & Oltvai, Nature Rev Gen 5, 101 (2004) Bioinformatics III

  18. Degree The most elementary characteristic of a node is its degree (or connectivity), k, which tells us how many links the node has to other nodes. a In the undirected network, node A has k = 5. b In networks in which each link has a selected direction there is an incoming degree, kin, which denotes the number of links that point to a node, and an outgoing degree, kout, which denotes the number of links that start from it. E.g., node A in b has kin = 4 and kout = 1. An undirected network with N nodes and L links is characterized by an average degree <k> = 2L/N (where <> denotes the average). Barabasi & Oltvai, Nature Reviews Genetics 5, 101 (2004) Bioinformatics III

  19. Degree distribution The degree distribution, P(k), gives the probability that a selected node has exactly k links. P(k) is obtained by counting the number o f nodes N(k) with k = 1,2... links and dividing by the total number of nodes N. The degree distribution allows us to distinguish between different classes of networks. For example, a peaked degree distribution, as seen in a random network, indicates that the system has a characteristic degree and that there are no highly connected nodes (which are also known as hubs). By contrast, a power-law degree distribution indicates that a few hubs hold together numerous small nodes. Barabasi & Oltvai, Nature Reviews Genetics 5, 101 (2004) Bioinformatics III

  20. Random networks Aa The Erdös–Rényi (ER) model of a random network starts with N nodes and connects each pair of nodes with probability p, which creates a graph with approximately pN (N-1)/2 randomly placed links. Ab The node degrees follow a Poisson distribution, where most nodes have approximately the same number of links (close to the average degree <k>). The tail (high k region) of the degree distribution P(k ) decreases exponentially, which indicates that nodes that significantly deviate from the average are extremely rare. Ac The clustering coefficient is independent of a node's degree, so C(k) appears as a horizontal line if plotted as a function of k. The mean path length is proportional to the logarithm of the network size, l log N, which indicates that it is characterized by the small-world property. Barabasi & Oltvai, Nature Rev Gen 5, 101 (2004) Bioinformatics III

  21. Origin of scale-free topology and hubs in biological networks The origin of the scale-free topology in complex networks can be reduced to two basic mechanisms: growth and preferential attachment. Growth means that the network emerges through the subsequent addition of new nodes, such as the new red node that is added to the network that is shown in part a . Preferential attachment means that new nodes prefer to link to more connected nodes. For example, the probability that the red node will connect to node 1 is twice as large as connecting to node 2, as the degree of node 1 (k1=4) is twice the degree of node 2 (k2 =2). Growth and preferential attachment generate hubs through a 'rich-gets-richer' mechanism: the more connected a node is, the more likely it is that new nodes will link to it, which allows the highly connected nodes to acquire new links faster than their less connected peers. Barabasi & Oltvai, Nature Rev Gen 5, 101 (2004) Bioinformatics III

  22. Scale-free networks Scale-free networks are characterized by a power-law degree distribution; the probability that a node has k links follows P(k) ~ k- -, where  is the degree exponent. The probability that a node is highly connected is statistically more significant than in a random graph, the network's properties often being determined by a relatively small number of highly connected nodes („hubs“, see blue nodes in Ba). In the Barabási–Albert model of a scale-free network, at each time point a node with M links is added to the network, it connects to an already existing node I with probability I = kI/JkJ, where kI is the degree of node I and J is the index denoting the sum over network nodes. The network that is generated by this growth process has a power-law degree distribution with  = 3. Bb Such distributions are seen as a straight line on a log–log plot. The network that is created by the Barabási–Albert model does not have an inherent modularity, so C(k) is independent of k. (Bc). Scale-free networks with degree exponents 2<  <3, a range that is observed in most biological and non-biological networks, are ultra-small, with the average path length following ℓ ~ log log N, which is significantly shorter than log N that characterizes random small-world networks. Barabasi & Oltvai, Nature Reviews Genetics 5, 101 (2004) Bioinformatics III

  23. Network measures Scale-free networks and the degree exponent Most biological networks are scale-free, which means that their degree distribution approximates a power law, P(k) k-, where  is the degree exponent and ~ indicates 'proportional to'. The value of  determines many properties of the system. The smaller the value of  , the more important the role of the hubs is in the network. Whereas for  >3 the hubs are not relevant, for 2>  >3 there is a hierarchy of hubs, with the most connected hub being in contact with a small fraction of all nodes, and for  = 2 a hub-and-spoke network emerges, with the largest hub being in contact with a large fraction of all nodes. In general, the unusual properties of scale-free networks are valid only for  < 3, when the dispersion of the P(k) distribution, which is defined as 2 = <k2> - <k>2, increases with the number of nodes (that is,  diverges), resulting in a series of unexpected features, such as a high degree of robustness against accidental node failures. For  >3, however, most unusual features are absent, and in many respects the scale-free network behaves like a random one. Barabasi & Oltvai, Nature Reviews Genetics 5, 101 (2004) Bioinformatics III

  24. Shortest path and mean path length Distance in networks is measured with the path length, which tells us how many links we need to pass through to travel between two nodes. As there are many alternative paths between two nodes, the shortest path — the path with the smallest number of links between the selected nodes — has a special role. In directed networks, the distance ℓAB from node A to node B is often different from the distance ℓBA from B to A. E.g. in b , ℓBA = 1, whereas ℓAB = 3. Often there is no direct path between two nodes. As shown in b, although there is a path from C to A, there is no path from A to C. The mean path length, <ℓ>, represents the average over the shortest paths between all pairs of nodes and offers a measure of a network's overall navigability. Barabasi & Oltvai, Nature Reviews Genetics 5, 101 (2004) Bioinformatics III

  25. Clustering coefficient In many networks, if node A is connected to B, and B is connected to C, then it is highly probable that A also has a direct link to C. This phenomenon can be quantified using the clustering coefficient CI = 2nI/k(k-1), where nI is the number of links connecting the kI neighbours of node I to each other. In other words, CI gives the number of 'triangles' that go through node I, whereas kI (kI -1)/2 is the total number of triangles that could pass through node I, should all of node I's neighbours be connected to each other. For example, only one pair of node A's five neighbours in a are linked together (B and C), which gives nA = 1 and CA = 2/20. By contrast, none of node F's neighbours link to each other, giving CF = 0. The average clustering coefficient, <C >, characterizes the overall tendency of nodes to form clusters or groups. An important measure of the network's structure is the function C(k), which is defined as the average clustering coefficient of all nodes with k links. For many real networks C(k) k-1, which is an indication of a network's hierarchical character. The average degree <k>, average path length <ℓ> and average clustering coefficient <C> depend on the number of nodes and links (N and L) in the network. By contrast, the P(k) and C(k ) functions are independent of the network's size and they therefore capture a network's generic features, which allows them to be used to classify various networks. Barabasi & Oltvai, Nature Reviews Genetics 5, 101 (2004) Bioinformatics III

  26. Hierarchical networks To account for the coexistence of modularity, local clustering and scale-free topology in many real systems it has to be assumed that clusters combine in an iterative manner, generating a hierarchical network. The starting point of this construction is a small cluster of 4 densely linked nodes (4 central nodes in Ca). Next, 3 replicas of this module are generated and the 3 external nodes of the replicated clusters connected to the central node of the old cluster, which produces a large 16-node module. 3 replicas of this 16-node module are then generated and the 16 peripheral nodes connected to the central node of the old module, which produces a new module of 64 nodes. The hierarchical network model seamlessly integrates a scale-free topology with an inherent modular structure by generating a network that has a power-law degree distribution with degree exponent  = 1 + ln4/ln3 = 2.26 (Cb) and a large, system-size independent average clustering coefficient <C> ~ 0.6. The most important signature of hierarchical modularity is the scaling of the clustering coefficient, which follows C(k) ~ k-1 a straight line of slope -1 on a log–log plot (Cc). A hierarchical architecture implies that sparsely connected nodes are part of highly clustered areas, with communication between the different highly clustered neighbourhoods being maintained by a few hubs (Ca).

  29. Summary Many cellular networks show properties of scale-free networks - protein-protein interaction networks - metabolic networks - genetic regulatory networks (where nodes are individual genes and links are derived from expression correlation e.g. by microarray data) - protein domain networks However, not all cellular networks are scale-free. E.g. the transcription regulatory networks of S. cerevisae and E.coli are examples of mixed scale-free and exponential characteristics.
