By mainly integrating information about human-virus PPIs, human protein complexes, and gene expression profiles, we performed a large-scale analysis of virally targeted complexes (VTCs) related to five common human-pathogenic viruses, including influenza A virus subtype H1N1, human immunodeficiency virus type 1, Epstein-Barr virus, human papillomavirus, and hepatitis C virus. We found that viral targets are enriched within human protein complexes. We observed in the context of VTCs that viral targets tended to have a high within-complex degree and to be scaffold and housekeeping proteins. Complexes that are essential for viral propagation were simultaneously targeted by multiple viruses. We characterized the periodic expression patterns of VTCs and provided the corresponding candidates that may be involved in the manipulation of the host cell cycle. As a potential application of the current analysis, we proposed a VTC-based antiviral drug target discovery strategy. Finally, we developed an online VTC-related platform known as VTcomplex (http://zzdlab.com/vtcomplex/index.php or http://systbio.cau.edu.cn/vtcomplex/index.php).
