Part of the DISC1 interactome with genes represented by text in boxes and interactions noted by lines between the genes. From Hennah and Porteous, 2009.[1]

In molecular biology an Interactome is defined as the whole set of molecular interactions in cells. Specifally it means physical interactions among molecules but can also mean indirect interactions among genes, i.e. genetic interactions. It is usually displayed as a directed graph. The word "interactome" was originally coined in 1999 by a group of French scientists headed by Bernard Jacq.[2]

Molecular interaction networks

Molecular interactions can occur between molecules belonging to different biochemical families (proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, carbohydrates, etc.) and also within a given family. When spoken in terms of proteomics, interactome refers to protein–protein interaction network (PPI), or protein interaction network (PIN). Another extensively studied type of interactome is the protein–DNA interactome (network formed by transcription factors (and DNA or chromatin regulatory proteins) and their target genes.

Size of interactomes

It has been suggested that the size of an organism's interactome correlates better than genome size with the biological complexity of the organism.[3] Although protein–protein interaction maps containing several thousands of binary interactions are now available for several organisms, none of them is presently complete and the size of interactomes is still a matter of debate.

Genetic interaction networks

In 2010, the most "complete" gene interactome produced to date was compiled from 54 million two-gene comparisons to describe "the interaction profiles for ~75% of all genes in the Budding yeast," with 170,000 gene interactions.[4]

Although extremely important and useful, the interactome is still being developed and is not complete (as of October 2010). There are various factors that have a role in protein interactions that have yet to be incorporated in the interactome. Many[who?] have termed the interactome as a whole as being fuzzy. The binding strength of the various proteins, microenvironmental factors, sensitivity to various procedures, and the physiological state of the cell all affect protein–protein interactions, yet are not accounted for in the interactome. Although the interactome is useful in some ways, it must be analyzed knowing that these factors exist and can affect the protein interactions.[5]

Methods of mapping the interactome

The study of the interactome is called interactomics. The basic unit of protein network is protein–protein interaction (PPI). Because the interactome considers the whole organism, there is a need to collect a massive amount of information.

Experimental methods have been devised to identify PPIs, such as affinity purification and the yeast two hybrid system (Y2H). The former is suited to identify a protein complex, while the latter is suited to explore the binary interactions among two proteins at a time. Both methods can be used in a high-throughput (HTP) fashion.

Using the experimental data as a starting point, the concept of homology transfer has been used to develop algorithms to map the interactome, including ones that produce detailed atomic models of protein protein complexes [6] as well as other protein–molecule interactions.[7]

There have been several efforts to map eukaryotic interactomes through HTP methods. As of 2006, yeast, fly, worm, and human HTP maps have been created. Recently, pathogen-host interactome (Hepatitis C Virus/Human (2008),[8] Epstein Barr virus/Human (2008), Influenza virus/Human (2009)) was also delineated through HTP to identify essential molecular components for pathoghens but also for the host to recognize pathogens and trigger efficient innate immune response.[9]

Using the interactome

Researchers have begun to use preliminary versions of the interactome to gain understanding about the biology and function of the molecules within them. For example, protein interaction networks have been used to produce improved protein functional annotations (or nannotations) for proteins with unknown functions.[10]
