Scrutinizing global changes
Reductionism VS Holism
The study of biology through systematic perturbation, global read-out of the multifaceted and integration of thesedata to formulate predictive models

Obvious Challenges
- Signal VS Noise
- Biologically relevant VS random effect
- Integration of technology – biology - computation
- Integration of discovery- and hypothesis-driven science
Proteomics capacity as a System Biology tool

Proteomics capacity as a System Biology tool
Proteomics can reach 86%of Ids predicted by transcriptomics
At the cost of 12 days of analysis
Characterization of 11 cell lines

Proteomics flex its muscle
Mann et al., 2013
Take home message
1. System biology is a post-genomic field that focus in global changes within a system.
2. Depends heavily on computational approaches (measurement, statistical validation, integration of thousands of components)
3. Proteomics is still “under development” compared to Genomics/transcriptomics, but has almost comparable throughput in recent years
Advanced Proteomics
October 2013
Gustavo de SouzaIMM, OUS
Are mRNA levels comparable to their protein levels?
Relevance of the Proteome
If a gene is transcripted andits mRNA levels goes up, doesthat necessarily means theprotein level that the mRNAtranslates also goes up?
Pulse Labeling
Translational machinery saturates
Steen and Mann, 2004
Can one predict protein levels based on mRNA levels?
Super-SILAC
Geiger T et al., 2010
Spike-In SILAC
Geiger T et al., 2013
Good reproducibility
Top 100 Proteome
Brown VS White fat tissue
mRNA VS Protein level
Take home message
- As a descriptive data, proteomics is almost as throughput as transcriptomics (the catch 22 is: it does require very high level of expertise to perform proteomics at higher standards).
- Proteomics is arguably more appropriate than transcriptomicsto elucidate functional studies.
