Abstract

The Database of Interacting Proteins (DIP; http://dip.doe-mbi.ucla.edu) is a database that documents experimentally determined protein-protein interactions. This database is intended to provide the scientific community with a comprehensive and integrated tool for browsing and efficiently extracting information about protein interactions and interaction networks in biological processes. Beyond cataloging details of protein-protein interactions, the DIP is useful for understanding protein function and protein-protein relationships, studying the properties of networks of interacting proteins, benchmarking predictions of protein-protein interactions, and studying the evolution of protein-protein interactions.

The relational structure of the DIP. The protein information (left) is linked to the interaction table (center), which in turn is linked to the experiment table (right). An interaction is a unique entry but can be linked to many different experiments.

Figure 2
Diagram of 57 interacting proteins functioning in cell cycle and transcription control contained in the DIP database. Each open circle represents a protein; each line is an experimentally determined interaction. Cell division protein kinase 6 (Cdk6) bridges cell cycle control proteins with transcription related proteins by interacting with both cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor (Kip1) and E2F related transcription factor (DP1). The highlighted proteins are the following: Rb (retinoblastoma associated protein), Kip1 (cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor), TBP (TATA binding protein associated factor II), cyclin B1 (G2/mitotic specific cyclin B1), cdc25 (M phase inducer phosphatase 1), raf1 (proto-oncogene ser/thr protein kinase), ras (transforming protein p21/ras).
