This paper describes modification of the microtubule model described below in order to allow for estimation of free tubulin, and applies the model to images of cells treated with and without nocodazole to depolymerize microtubules.  The results are consistent with expectation.

This review provides a perspective on methods for estimating pattern fractions and learning generative models.  It addresses the critical problem of representing information learned about subcellular organization for comparison between cell and tissue types and for use in systems simulations.

Methods have been described previously for learning models of cell organization from microscope images in order to be able to synthesize and combine subcellular distributions.  These methods involve direct estimation of the model parameters but for some subcellular patterns (such as those of microtubules or microfilaments), direct estimation is difficult due to large numbers of tangled fibers.  We describe the first method for indirectly learning a microtubule model and show that it produces results consistent with current knowledge.

Subcellular Pattern Unmixing

 

R. F. Murphy (2010) Communicating Subcellular Distributions. Cytometry Part A 77A:686-692.

This review provides a perspective on methods for estimating pattern fractions and learning generative models.  It addresses the critical problem of representing information learned about subcellular organization for comparison between cell and tissue types and for use in systems simulations.

Murphy (2010) Quantifying the distribution of probes between subcellular locations using unsupervised pattern unmixing.  Bioinformatics 26:i7-i12  (Proceedings of 18th Annual International Conference on Intelligent Systems in Molecular Biology; only 19% of submitted papers accepted).

Supervised approaches to pattern unmixing require examples of images for proteins that are found in only one fundamental subcellular pattern (e.g., organelle).  When analyzing protein images on a proteome scale, the patterns may not all be known and/or proteins that are only present in each of these patterns may not be available.  This paper described the first system for unsupervised unmixing of patterns, that is, simultaneously finding the underlying patterns and estimating the fraction of each protein in each.

Proteins may be found in more than one subcellular location, but previous automated systems to classify images by their patterns could not estimate the amount in each.  This paper is the first demonstration of the ability to unmix subcellular patterns in microscope images.  It was chosen for a Highlights Track presentation at ISMB 2010.

Most work on automatically classifying subcellular patterns uses static images and is unable to distinguish proteins by their dynamic behavior.  This paper describes a number of approaches for calculating features to describe variation in location over time, and shows that these features allow better discrimination between protein patterns.

This paper (presented at RECOMB and published in slightly edited form in an issue of the Journal of Computational Biology featuring selected papers) uses both known motifs as well as motifs learned as described in the previous paper (below) in combination with data on protein-protein interaction to learn a sorting model for subcellular localization.

Many systems for predicting subcellular location of proteins using sequence motifs have been described, but this paper describes the first approaches for learning these motifs given just sequences and locations. The system can achieve results comparable to the best current predictors but on the much harder task of learning motifs as well.
