PhosphoDisco (PhDc)

A python package for finding co-regulated phospho sites from phosphoproteomics and proteomics data.

Description

PhDc uses optimized clustering to find co-regulated phosphosite modules. Then, PhDc uses protein and phosphoprotein abundance data from kinases and phosphatases to nominate module regulators. It can also use sample annotation data to identify modules significantly correlated with clinical variables.

Tutorial

You can find the tutorial jupyter notebook in the tutorial folder. To get started, follow these steps:

Clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/ruggleslab/phosphodisco.git

Set up the environment needed to run the notebook. We will use mamba for this, which is a drop-in replacement for conda:

conda install -c conda-forge mamba
mamba env create -f phosphodisco/env.yml -p phdc_env

If this step is stuck after Looking for: ['bioservices', 'cython', 'gseapy', 'hdbscan', 'hypercluster', 'jupyterlab', 'logomaker', "matplotlib[version='<3.2']", 'numpy', 'oyaml', 'pandas', 'pip', 'scikit-learn', 'seaborn', 'snakemake'], try editing your .condarc file and removing -defaults from the channels list.

Activate the environment and install phosphodisco

conda activate phdc_env/
cd phosphodisco
python setup.py develop

Start jupyter lab and check out the notebook:

cd tutorial
jupyter lab

The tutorial will run you through the major steps in running the phosphodisco pipeline.

PhDc can perform pre-processing steps:

Use regularized linear regression to normalize phosphopeptide data by protein data.
Column/sample normalize data.
a. Median normalization.
b. Upper quartile normalization.
c. Two-component median normalization.

NO Z-SCORING

Finding modules:

For either mode 1 or 2, PhDc can also be used to find reproducibly clustered sites.
TODO: describe hypercluster a little

Following clustering, PhDc can be used for these analyses:

Nominate regulators: given protein and phosphoprotein abundances of kinases and phosphatases, PhDc can find the most correlated putative regulators for each module.
Correlate module scores with clinical continuous and categorical features. Identify modules most high correlated with each feature.

Input data

n$^|$ = # p-sites in original table
m = # samples
k = # different sample annotations

Phosphosite x Sample table of log2 relative phospho abundances (e.g. from iTRAQ). csv or tsv. n$^|$*m
Sample x annotation table for clinical annotations. csv or tsv. m*k
Continuous/categorical labels for annotation table. csv or tsv. k*1

Outputs

n = # p-sites after normalization
m = # samples
i = # different optimization conditions
j = # modules in best clustering
l = # putative regulators, i.e. kinases and phosphatases

Protein-normalized phospho data (optional, only if normalizing) n*m
Phosphosite x clustering attempts table of p-site module labels. tsv. n*i (optional, only if optimizing)
Best scoring clustering result table of p-site module labels. tsv. n*1
a. Heatmaps of p-sites x samples with annotations for each module
b. Module scores x samples. tsv. j*m i. Clustered heatmap of module scores vs samples c. Coefficients of each kinase and phosphatase x modules. tsv. l*j
i. Clustered heatmap of high scoring regulators vs modules.
Reproducible clusters, phosphosites x cluster labels n*\1. (optional, only if using optimized clustering)
