Agency:               NIH (R01)

Effort:                   15%

Ann Dir Costs:     $250K (Total costs for entire grant: $1,250K)

Title:                     Comprehensive annotation of subcellular localization in entire proteomes

Summary:            We propose the development of a comprehensive system that combines experimental resources with data mining techniques and novel prediction methods, with the objective of annotating the localization for all proteins in entirely sequenced eukaryotes with unprecedented detail and accuracy. Firstly, we propose the improvement over motif-based methods for secreted and nuclear proteins, as well as the extension of de novo predictions for the major compartments. Secondly, we plan to develop novel methods that predict the particular type of membrane into which an integral membrane protein is inserted (plasma, inner/outer nuclear, inner/outer mitochondrial, ER, Golgi, lysosome, chloroplast), and that predict minor eukaryotic compartments (ER, Golgi, lysosome), as well as sub-compartments such as Ònuclear matrix associatedÓ. Thirdly, we plan the integration of the new methods and experimental resources into a comprehensive system for which we already have a prototype.

v.                         Structural genomics of eukaryotic model organisms

PI:                        Gaetano T. Montelione (Rutgers University)

Role:                    Co-PI

Period:                 10/01/00 to 31/10/05

Agency:               NIH (P50 GM62413)

Ann Dir Costs:     $180,000    Total (5 years) $750,000      Overhead (4 years) $580,000

Summary:            Goal of the pilot project in structural genomics (one of nine in the USA; of about 14 world-wide) was to develop high-throughput techniques for large-scale structure determination. This project combined over 20 groups from 12 research institutions in the USA, Canada and Israel. Our particular task was the development of techniques that rationalize the automatic target selection, i.e. prioritize which proteins to pursue experimentally.

 

vi.                        Intruding into the midnight zone of protein sequence comparisons

PI:                        Burkhard Rost

Period:                 05/01/01 to 04/30/05

Agency:               NIH (R01 GM63029)

Ann Dir Costs:     $190,000    Total (4 years) $750,000      Overhead (4 years) $660,000

Summary:            The 'twilight zone' of protein sequence comparison is the region in which sequence similarity does not suffice to conclude, e.g., structural similarity. The vast majority of all protein pairs of similar structure populate a 'midnight zone', i.e., their sequences differ too much for sequence-based inferences. We refined, extended, and specialized methods combining sequence alignment, structure prediction and functional information.

 

vii.                       Ab initio prediction of sub-cellular localization

PI:                        Burkhard Rost

Period:                 02/01/02 to 01/31/05

Agency:               NSF (DBI-0131168)

Ann Dir Costs:     $157,000    Total (3 years) $470,000      Overhead (4 years) $240,000

Summary:            The major goals of this project were to develop a system predicting the sub-cellular localization of a protein based on sequence alignments and signal peptide motifs. The ultimate objective was to combine a series of novel methods into a comprehensive system that we can use to automatically annotate entire proteomes.

 

viii.                      Improve predictions of structure and function by PredictProtein

PI:                        Burkhard Rost

Period:                 05/01/03 – 04/30/07

Agency:               NIH/NLM (R01 LM07329)

Ann Dir Costs:     $175,000    Total (4 years) $900,000      Overhead (4 years) $770,000

Summary:            The major objective was to improve the Internet prediction server PredictProtein. The specific aims were to (1) implement technical improvements, (2) and to systematically combine the results from various methods. In particular, we worked on the improvement of methods that identify transmembrane segments from sequence.

 

ix.                        Predict putative protein-protein interface segments at low resolution

PI:                        Burkhard Rost

Period:                 05/01/03 – 04/30/07

Agency:               NIH (R01 GM64633-01)

Ann Dir Costs:     $200,000    Total (4 years) $800,000      Overhead (4 years) $680,000

Summary:            We developed methods predicting interface segments, i.e. regions of residues consecutive in sequence that are in contact with other interface segments. Separate methods addressed internal and external interfaces.

 

x.                         MAGNet: center for the analysis of multiscale genomic and cellular network

PI:                        Andrea Califano (Bio-Medical Informatics, Columbia)

Role:                    Project leader

Period:                 10/01/05 to 09/30/10

Agency:               NIH (U54-GM072980)

Ann Dir Costs:     $220,000                                                                  Overhead $120,000

Summary:            Grant proposal to begin a National Center of Excellence. Preliminarily, we proposed to build a center that provides software to other scientists. For the first two years, I acted as the coordinator of Core II proposals (biological applications of algorithms), and project leader for one of the seven main projects that proposed to integrate methods for the prediction of protein structure and function. The project was supposed to focus on the combination of related resources that already exist in the labs of various center members and on making these methods available through common interfaces.

 

xi.                        Improve predictions of structure and function by PredictProtein

PI:                        Burkhard Rost

Period:                 04/01/07 – 03/31/10

Agency:               NIH/NLM (2 R01 LM07329)

Ann Dir Costs:     $175,000    Total (4 years) $900,000      Overhead (4 years) $770,000

Summary:            The major objective was to improve the Internet prediction server PredictProtein (PP). By 2008, this server had been used over 2 million times by over 30,000 researchers from 106 countries. The scientific solutions address two related tasks pertaining to protein function prediction. The first was to predict the effect of amino acid substitutions. We developed novel machine learning-based methods to distinguish between mutations that effect structure, or function, or have no apparent phenotype. The second major task was the identification of natively unstructured regions and their functional classification. Proteins that do not adopt regular structures in isolation are increasingly becoming an important research area; they may provide a key to the evolution of complexity from proka- to eukaryotes. We developed machine learning-based identifications of features specific to this important class of molecules. All new methods have been made available through PredictProtein.

 

xii.                       Meeting for Critical Assessment of protein Structure Prediction (CASP)

PI:                        Burkhard Rost

Period:                 08/01/04 – 07/31/09

Agency:               NIH (1-R13-GM072354-01)

Ann Dir Costs:     $45,000      Total (5 years) $194,447                                 Overhead $0

Summary:            This grant funded 3 consecutive CASP meetings that have evolved into the major event in the structure prediction field. Note that this grant neither covered any salaries, nor any expenses for my group.

 

xiii.                      Structural genomics of eukaryotic model organisms

PI:                        Gaetano T. Montelione (Rutgers University)

Role:                    Co-PI

Period:                 07/01/05 to 06/30/10

Agency:               NIH (U54 GM074958-01)

Ann Dir Costs:     $150,000    Total (5 years) $750,000      Overhead (5 years) $580,000

Title:                     Structural genomics of eukaryotic model organisms

Summary:            Goal was the large-scale experimental determination of protein structures. This project combined over 20 groups from 12 research institutions in the USA and Canada. Our particular task was the development of techniques that rationalized the automatic target selection, i.e. prioritize which proteins to pursue experimentally and to cluster proteins into dynamic families with annotations of function.

 

xiv.                      Structural genomics for membrane proteins (NYCOMPS)

PI:                        Wayne Hendrickson

Role:                    Co-PI

Period:                 09/01/05 to 08/31/10

Agency:               NIH (U54 GM75026)

Ann Dir Costs:     $200 K        Total (5 years) $500,000        Overhead (5 years) $300,000

Summary:            Our development center in structural genomics (NYCOMPS: New York Consortium for Membrane Protein Structural genomics) investigated to which extent experimental high-throughput determination of 3D structures for membrane proteins is feasible. In order to achieve this, the center established a pipeline for high-throughput expression and purification. Our group was responsible for target selection. In particular, we clustered membrane proteins using existing methods. The project has been continued into a second five-year phase (see Grants active).

                      Sum       Average Citations

All 196 iv publications:                                                          15,578          79

Note that this results in an average per-year citation index (known as Impact Factor) of ~14 for all publications referenced by ISI; this is higher than the impact factor of, e.g., EMBO J and PNAS. More recent publications (1999 and later) still average above 10 which would rank the ÒRost@columbia JournalÓ as one of the top 100 in ISIÕs 6066 journals ranked by impact factor.

 

The h-index (Herfindahl index/Hirsch number) is the number of publications h cited ³h times. My h-index according to Google is 62 (Aug. 2010) and 52 according to ISI (Aug. 2010). The difference largely originates from the fact that ISI neither includes proceedings nor book chapters, nor any of the other many modern media that often cite the type of work we do.
