Protein_Ontology_3ndAnnual_Meeting

Created by Natalia Roberts, last modified by Darren Natale on Mar 02, 2021


The third annual meeting of the Protein Ontology project took place in University of Delaware on April 26-27, 2010. An annotation jamboree/workshop was conducted on April 28.

Location: Clayton Hall Conference Center [1] (Room 120), Laird Campus, University of Delaware, Newark. (Internal meeting).

The goals of this meeting were:

   1To survey work on the PRO thus far and to review next steps for the development of the ontology
2To introduce the PRO to new groups of users with special reference to potential uses in areas such as drug discovery and disease biomarker research
3To survey work on ontology and terminology artifacts in the chemistry and pharmacology areas and to assess possibilities for fruitful interaction

Protein Ontology

The Protein Ontology (PRO) project is funded by NIGMS / NIH Grant 1 R01 GM080646-01, PI: Cathy Wu.

The Aims of the project are:

Aim 1. Develop a Protein Evolution (ProEvo) ontology to describe proteins based on evolutionary relationships. In essence, ProEvo will reflect protein families (using sequence or structure similarities) in an ontology framework.

Aim 2. Develop a Protein Forms (ProForm) ontology to represent the multiple protein end-products from a gene. This will include "normal" and mutant forms, forms derived from different splice variants, and cleaved and post-translationally modified products.

Aim 3. Specify the relationships between the ProEvo, ProForm and other OBO Foundry ontologies. Several ontologies provide qualities that can be attributed to various forms of a protein or to an entire protein family. These qualities, in effect, can annotate the protein forms or families.

Aim 4. Disseminate PRO ontology, and demonstrate its usefulness in health-related research via scientific case studies.

More recently, PRO has been awarded a supplement to include a protein complex ontology. Within the scope of the parent grant, the primary goal of the proposed supplement is to further develop the PRO ontology to represent both proteins and protein complexes. This effort will address the gap in the current OBO ontologies and a fundamental need in the biomedical research community for accurate representation of protein biology.

The Aims of this supplement are:

Aim 1. Enhance the Protein Ontology framework to include an ontology for protein complexes.

Aim 2. Develop a curation system for protein complex curation in biological contexts.

Aim 3. Develop scientific cases for pathway/disease modeling and disseminate PRO complex ontology.
