Perturbation of the mutated EGFR interactome identifies vulnerabilities and resistance mechanisms.

Molecular systems biology | 2013

We hypothesized that elucidating the interactome of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) forms that are mutated in lung cancer, via global analysis of protein-protein interactions, phosphorylation, and systematically perturbing the ensuing network nodes, should offer a new, more systems-level perspective of the molecular etiology. Here, we describe an EGFR interactome of 263 proteins and offer a 14-protein core network critical to the viability of multiple EGFR-mutated lung cancer cells. Cells with acquired resistance to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) had differential dependence of the core network proteins based on the underlying molecular mechanisms of resistance. Of the 14 proteins, 9 are shown to be specifically associated with survival of EGFR-mutated lung cancer cell lines. This included EGFR, GRB2, MK12, SHC1, ARAF, CD11B, ARHG5, GLU2B, and CD11A. With the use of a drug network associated with the core network proteins, we identified two compounds, midostaurin and lestaurtinib, that could overcome drug resistance through direct EGFR inhibition when combined with erlotinib. Our results, enabled by interactome mapping, suggest new targets and combination therapies that could circumvent EGFR TKI resistance.

This is a list of tools and resources that we have found mentioned in this publication.


MatrixScience (tool)

RRID:SCR_000307

A collection of both commercial and noncommercial software products which includes: Mascot Distiller, Mascot Parser, and Mascot Server. Mascot Distiller is commercial and provides a single interface to process raw data into de-isotoped peak lists. This tool can also be used for the easy distribution of search and quantitative results to colleagues. The non-commercial Mascot Parser software provides an API (Application Programmer Interface) that makes it easier to access search results written in C++, Java, Python and Perl. Mascot Server is non-commercial, and is a collection of peptide mass fingerprints as well as a MS/MS database. A selection of popular sequence databases are available online and include SwissProt, NCBInr, and the EST divisions of EMBL. This server is best used for evaluating and searching for smaller data sets.

BindingDB (tool)

RRID:SCR_000390

Web accessible database of data extracted from scientific literature, focusing on proteins that are drug-targets or candidate drug-targets and for which structural data are present in Protein Data Bank . Website supports query types including searches by chemical structure, substructure and similarity, protein sequence, ligand and protein names, affinity ranges and molecular weight . Data sets generated by BindingDB queries can be downloaded in form of annotated SDfiles for further analysis, or used as basis for virtual screening of compound database uploaded by user. Data are linked to structural data in PDB via PDB IDs and chemical and sequence searches, and to literature in PubMed via PubMed IDs .

PeptideAtlas (tool)

RRID:SCR_006783

Multi-organism, publicly accessible compendium of peptides identified in a large set of tandem mass spectrometry proteomics experiments. Mass spectrometer output files are collected for human, mouse, yeast, and several other organisms, and searched using the latest search engines and protein sequences. All results of sequence and spectral library searching are subsequently processed through the Trans Proteomic Pipeline to derive a probability of correct identification for all results in a uniform manner to insure a high quality database, along with false discovery rates at the whole atlas level. The raw data, search results, and full builds can be downloaded for other uses. All results of sequence searching are processed through PeptideProphet to derive a probability of correct identification for all results in a uniform manner ensuring a high quality database. All peptides are mapped to Ensembl and can be viewed as custom tracks on the Ensembl genome browser. The long term goal of the project is full annotation of eukaryotic genomes through a thorough validation of expressed proteins. The PeptideAtlas provides a method and a framework to accommodate proteome information coming from high-throughput proteomics technologies. The online database administers experimental data in the public domain. You are encouraged to contribute to the database.

IntAct (tool)

RRID:SCR_006944

Open source database system and analysis tools for molecular interaction data. All interactions are derived from literature curation or direct user submissions. Direct user submissions of molecular interaction data are encouraged, which may be deposited prior to publication in a peer-reviewed journal. The IntAct Database contains (Jun. 2014): * 447368 Interactions * 33021 experiments * 12698 publications * 82745 Interactors IntAct provides a two-tiered view of the interaction data. The search interface allows the user to iteratively develop complex queries, exploiting the detailed annotation with hierarchical controlled vocabularies. Results are provided at any stage in a simplified, tabular view. Specialized views then allows "zooming in" on the full annotation of interactions, interactors and their properties. IntAct source code and data are freely available.

MINT (tool)

RRID:SCR_001523

A database that focuses on experimentally verified protein-protein interactions mined from the scientific literature by expert curators. The curated data can be analyzed in the context of the high throughput data and viewed graphically with the MINT Viewer. This collection of molecular interaction databases can be used to search for, analyze and graphically display molecular interaction networks and pathways from a wide variety of species. MINT is comprised of separate database components. HomoMINT, is an inferred human protein interatction database. Domino, is database of domain peptide interactions. VirusMINT explores the interactions of viral proteins with human proteins. The MINT connect viewer allows you to enter a list of proteins (e.g. proteins in a pathway) to retrieve, display and download a network with all the interactions connecting them.
