The Protein Interactome of <named-content content-type="genus-species">Streptococcus pneumoniae</named-content> and Bacterial Meta-interactomes Improve Function Predictions
ABSTRACT The functions of roughly a third of all proteins in Streptococcus pneumoniae, a significant human-pathogenic bacterium, are unknown. Using a yeast two-hybrid approach, we have determined more than 2,000 novel protein interactions in this organism. We augmented this network with meta-interac...
