Type In the Protein ID of Interest
The Predicted Interactions Are Displayed In Decreasing Order of Likelihood ………
A Likelihood Ratio (LR) Determines How Much the Evidence Contributes to the Predicted PPI c 1 = S = Structural Model c 2 = G = GO Term Similarity c 3 = E = Protein Essentiality (for Yeast) c 4 = M = MIPS Term Similarity (for Yeast) c 5 = C = Co-expression c 6 = P = Phylogenetic Profile Similarity a.edu/PrePPI/help.html
The Prediction and Database LR are Combined to Get the Final Probability for the Interaction Database LR = LR for 1 of 7 categories that an interaction recorded in a database belongs to Category 1 = Interactions present in multiple databases Categories 2 – 7 = interactions present in only 1 database
3D Structure of Interacting Proteins Available for Those With A Structural LR > 50

PrePPI Is a "Meta" Database That is Electronically Curated Developed by the Honig Lab (Columbia University and HHMI) Funding from NIH and China Scholarship Council Licenses available for commercial and academic institutions Latest version released 1/27/2012
Future Plans to Fix Some of the Problems With the Current Version of the Database Problems No evaluation of structure beyond the final LR score No attention paid to oligomerization state No differentiation between compartmental paralogs Future Plans Implement methods to create more reliable structures Expand to other model organisms
Conclusion The PrePPI database catalogs protein-protein interactions both predicted and experimentally determined Likelihood ratios (LR) are computed to determine how probable is a predicted interaction A potential 3D representation of the interacting proteins is available for those interactions with an LR>50 PrePPI is a “meta" database that is electronically curated Future plans include expanding the database to include more organisms and developing methods to create more reliable interaction structures
