  11. Quantitative measurement of similarity in ligand screen data The Experiment Space A highly multi-dimensional space, but one that behaves just like three-dimensional space. Each variable gets an independent dimension, and so a complete single ligand dataset is one vector in this space.

  20. Conclusions: • A simple transformation of raw data variables into dimensionless S variables (units of significance) permits construction of an unified experiment space of all data, regardless of source or differences in intrinsic dynamic range and signal to noise. Experiment space now contains everything we measured…Ca2+, cAMP, P-proteins, gene expression changes.

  23. Conclusions: • A simple transformation of raw data variables into dimensionless S variables (units of significance) permits construction of an unified experiment space of all data, regardless of source or differences in intrinsic dynamic range and signal to noise. • The work in the past year has helped to address two fundamental problems with this kind of analysis. One is over-parameterization, the usage of many non-independent variables to represent a biological process. The second is reliability of the measurements, a factor that becomes particularly important in evaluating interactions between ligands. • We showed that 27 out of 32 ligands applied to the B cell showed some significant response in at least some of the 134 experiment space dimensions. • The 27 positive ligands show at least 19 distinct response patterns in our experiment space.

  24. O1 L1 Signaling Network O2 L2 O3 L3 . . . . . . Om Ln I. The Initial Question of the AFCS. • The single and double ligand screens… • The ligand screen… • (1) Quantitativemeasurement of the similarity (or dissimilarity) of the responses to different ligands. • Quantitative evaluation of the interactions between pairs of ligand responses, and an estimation of total interaction density.

  25. O1 L1 Signaling Network O2 L2 O3 L3 . . . . . . On Ln The Initial Questions of the AFCS – Conclusions from Question 1 and Next Steps • Quantitative measurement of the “interaction” between pairs of stimuli. What experiment tests for such interaction? • Apply each ligand singly and in combination, and ask whether the response to the combined application is the additive effect of the single ligand treatments. That is…is the effect of one ligand different in the presence of another?

  26. Does non-additivity happen in cell signaling? Yes…. J. Trimmer, Science STKE (2002), Unexpected crosstalk: Small GTPase regulation of calcium channel trafficking. Y.Q.

In the case they don’t interact at all, and none of our output measurement has saturated, what should we expect? But what if the effect of ligand 1 changes in the background of ligand 2?

The so-called “lack-of-closure” error is the interaction between the two ligands. This is not the same thing as the difference between two ligands (DS1,2)! This is the interaction between two ligands (DDS1,2)…the degree to which one influences the other. DDS1,2

  36. Quantitative measurement of interactions between ligands • The interaction vector preserves all the dimensions along which the two ligands interact. Thus, we can determine what experimental variables carry the interaction between two ligands. DDS1,2
