The study of essential proteins is important for understanding cellular functions and biological mechanisms. Therefore, various computable methods have been proposed to identify essential proteins. Unfortunately, most methods based on network topology only consider the interactions between a protein and its neighboring proteins, and not the interactions with its higher-order distance proteins. In this paper, we propose the DSEP algorithm in which we integrated network topology properties and subcellular localization information in protein–protein interaction(PPI) networks based on four-order distances, and then used random walks to identify the essential proteins. We also propose a method to calculate the finite-order distance of the network, which can greatly reduce the time complexity of our algorithm. We conducted a comprehensive comparison of the DSEP algorithm with 11 existing classical algorithms to identify essential proteins with multiple evaluation methods. The results show that DSEP is superior to these 11 methods.展开更多

Samples of human liver were homogenized in a buffer. The homogenate was separated into nuclei, mitochondrial, lysosomal, microsomal and cytosol fractions by successive differential centrifugation. Biological standard reference materials were used to evaluate the accuracy of the INAA method, and the results agree with the certified values. Element levels in subcellular fractions of human liver were discussed.展开更多

The elucidation of the subcellular locations and functions of these proteins is helpful for understanding the mechanism of programmed cell death. In this paper, the recurrent quantification analysis, Hilbert-Huang transform methods, the maximum relevance and minimum redundancy method and support vector machine are used to predict the subcellular location of apoptosis proteins. The validation of the jackknife test suggests that the proposed method can improve the prediction accuracy of the subcellular location of apoptosis proteins and its application may be promising in other fields.展开更多

Then 147Pm is selectively deposited in ultrastructure of liver cells, such as in nucleus, nucleolus, rough endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria and microbodies. Dense tracks also appear in mitochondria and lysosome of pedal cells within renal corpuscle, and so does in nucleus as well as in mitochondria and microbodies of epicyte of kidney near-convoluted tubule. With the prolongation of observing time, 147Pm is selectively and steadily deposited in subcellular level of organic component for bone. Substantial amount of 147Pm is taken up into the nuclear fraction of osteoclasts and osteoblasts.

In addition, numerous 147Pm deposited in collagenous fibre within interstitial of bone cells is hardly excreted.展开更多
