Towards a unified open access dataset of molecular interactions

Abstract: The International Molecular Exchange (IMEx) Consortium provides scientists with a single body of experimentally verified protein interactions curated in rich contextual detail to an internationally agreed standard. In this update to the work of the IMEx Consortium, we discuss how this initiative has been working in practice, how it has ensured database sustainability, and how it is meeting emerging annotation challenges through the introduction of new interactor types and data formats. Additionally, we provide… Show more

“…Several sources of interaction data were combined to build a comprehensive interactome of the lysyl oxidase family. Experimental data were collected by querying manually curated databases MatrixDB [ 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 ] and IMEx databases, including IntAct [ 41 , 42 , 43 ], manually curating additional interactions, querying the large BioPlex 2.0 [ 44 ] and 3.0 [ 35 ] datasets generated by large-scale affinity purification-mass spectrometry, and performing in vitro binding assays. Surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRi) binding assays were first performed using the protein and glycosaminoglycan (GAG) arrays we developed [ 33 , 45 , 46 ] comprised of 44 different biomolecules to identify new extracellular and membrane partners of LOXL2, which plays a prominent role in cancer, and of its N-terminal scavenger receptor cysteine-rich domains (SRCR).…”

“…The LOX and LOXL interaction dataset will be freely available via MatrixDB web site ( ), the ECM interaction database we have created and we maintain [ 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 ], and via the dataset of the International Molecular Exchange consortium ( ) to which MatrixDB belongs [ 41 , 43 ].…”

“…Through Rhea and ChEBI, UniProtKB provides a platform to integrate knowledge of small molecule metabolites, including but not limited to natural products, with knowledge of protein sequences and their functions in a broad range of species. Expert-curated knowledge of protein function in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot is complemented by additional knowledge and links from a wide network of collaborating resources covering many aspects of protein biology, including InterPro (protein domains and families) [ 34 ], PDBe (protein structures) [ 35 ], Reactome (pathways) [ 36 ], the IMEx databases of molecular interactions [ 37 ], the Gene Ontology Consortium (additional GO annotations) [ 38 , 39 ], PubMed literature ( ), and many more. Researchers in the field of natural products can leverage these additional annotations, links, and integrated datasets to study a broad array of aspects of protein biology.…”

“…UniProtKB provides links to over 100 reference knowledgebases and data repositories, links that are exploited in our powerful identifier mapping and batch retrieval tool ( ). UniProtKB also integrates complementary data from many of these linked resources, including the aforementioned protein classifications from InterPro as well as others such as molecular interaction data from IMEx database [ 37 ], peptide data from ProteomeXchange database [ 54 ], and variation data from a range of clinical resources including ClinVar [ 55 ], COSMIC [ 56 ], 1000 Genomes [ 57 ], and dbSNP [ 58 ].…”
