Overview

Molecule curation captures chemical and drug entities that have been shown to effect the biology of the worm. We provide links to other databases that deal with these molecule entities in greater detail.

  • What we mean by small molecule
    • drug
    • metabolite (primary and secondary)
    • monomers or very small oligomers of nucleic acids, proteins, and polysaccharides
    • "Large collections of small molecules (molecular weight about 600 or less), of similar or diverse nature which are used for high-throughput screening analysis of the gene function, protein interaction, cellular processing, biochemical pathways, or other chemical interactions." (from nlm.nih.gov and wikipedia)
    • Exogenous protein complexes with toxic effects- for example - Bt toxin.

Model elements

  • Name-> WBMol:ID
    • originally, this field contained the MeSH ID, when no MeSH ID was available, a WBMol ID was assigned, which was supposed to be replaced by the MeSH ID when available. Unfortunately, Names are scripted to be used in URL constructions for MeSH and CTD database links resulting in WBMol_id name based URLs would have to be suppressed or, result in bad URLs. Also, the increased use of Molecule annotation in other curation pipelines resulted in confusion with object creation. These points of confusion prompted a move to change the Name field change from MeSH default IDs to WBMol IDs for all objects.
  • Public name -> common name in elegans literature
  • Synonym -> other names used in papers, case sensitivity. Many other names can be taken in from CTD pages. Names need to be pipe separated
  • DB_info -> links to entity in other database. Database URLs need to be added to github external URL file.

Molecule databases

Molecule IDs will be provided, when available, for the following databases:

  • Database "NLM_MeSH" "UID"
  • Database "CTD" "ChemicalID"
  • Database "ChemIDplus" using the CasRN
  • Database "ChEBI" "CHEBI_ID"
  • Database "KEGG COMPOUND" "ACCESSION_NUMBER"
  • Database "SMID-DB"

ChEBI

ChEBI terms and IDs are pulled from the chebi.obo on the ChEBI ftp server. This file is updated monthly (first Monday of the month except in the case of a Bank Holiday when it becomes the Tuesday). The ChEBI website is updated daily.

chebi.obo is stored on tazendra here: /home/postgres/work/pgpopulation/obo_oa_ontologies

Syncing with ChEBI

molecules in citace without chebi id

find_missing_chebi_in_other_oa.pl
identifies any molecule in the mop tables with no mop_chebi id but has been used in curation through paper tables of either mop, app, grg, pro, or rna tables. The output lists molecules that have not been manually matched to with a ChEBI ID - these are of three types:
1. exists in chebi.obo - if so, manually fill in chebi ID
2. does not exist in chebi.obo but can be requested - if so, request term from chebi
3. does not exist in chebi.obo and cannot be requested - most likely the molecule is a protein or complex, neither are curated by chebi, e.g., Shiga Toxin, BTtoxin, streptolysin. Currently there is no alternative database to link these things to - should at some point see if there is UniProt id for them.

/home/acedb/karen/molecule/chebi_missing/find_missing_chebi_in_other_oa.pl

checks molecule entries without chebi that have data for any of :
app_molecule
grg_moleculeregulator
pro_molecule
rna_molecule
mop_paper

print out mop_publicname mop_molecule mop_chemi mop_paper mop_smmid
as well as corresponding papers from other OAs.  aggregate all papers
for a given molecule objects, convert to PMID if pmid exists.

grabbing data from chebi

compare_chebi.pl(2015 11 04)
This script imports more IDs/data from ChEBI into the mop_tables. The import relies on mop entries matching chebi objects. The script compares chebi.obo object names with mop_publicname and mop_synonym, in a case insensitive way. chebi.obo comes from ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/chebi/ontology/chebi.obo

The script outputs three files:

  • chebis_in_mop_vs_obo - compares chebi.obo and mop tables, finds molecules in mop tables that do not exist in the chebi.obo - based on name,
100241 not in mop
100246 not in mop
100461 not in mop
100921 not in chebi
101085 not in mop
101096 not in mop
  • chebi_name_discrepancies_case_sensitive and *chebi_name_discrepancies

These files list the mop values with chebi IDs but where the public names or synonyms do not match - the first file forces case sensitivity so there are many instances where the names are the same, it's just a matter of case (467 lines). The second file is case insensitive, this was much shorter (73 lines). I went through these manually and verified the entities were the same, there are two confusions:

CHEBI:30829 petroselaidic acid (CasRN 593-40-8) MOP- petroselinic acid (CasRN 4712-34-9) CHEBI:53692 hypaque (CasRN 117-96-4) MOP histopaque (CasRN 737-31-5)

Once names are matched, the corresponding values are be imported into mop_tables as follows:

mop_table	chebi.obo entry	example
mop_molformula	synonym: "<formula>" RELATED FORMULA [ChEBI:] 
mop_iupac (table not created?)	synonym: "<NAME>" EXACT IUPAC_NAME [IUPAC:]
mop_smiles	synonym: "<smiles>" RELATED SMILES [ChEBI:]
mop_inchi	synonym: "<InChI=>" RELATED InChI [ChEBI:]
mop_inchikey	synonym: "<inchikey>" RELATED InChIKey [ChEBI:]
mop_kegg  KEGG COMPOUND:C00742 "KEGG COMPOUND"  

Molecule curation

Bulk (batch) upload

Instructions for general batch upload here
Create spread sheet with column names that match molecule OA tables
Use http://www.metaboanalyst.ca/faces/home.xhtml to map ids - at least need Chebi IDs from KEGG

mop_paper	mop_name	mop_publicname	mop_synonym	mop_chemi	mop_kegg	mop_chebi	mop_molformula	mop_biorole	mop_bioroletext	mop_status	mop_detctmethod	mop_otherdetctmethod	mop_extrctmethod	mop_otherextrctmethod	mop_chemicalsynthesis	mop_nonbiosource	mop_endogenousin
  • grab WBMol IDs and place in mop_name column
  • place WBPaperIDs in quotes as the OA field is multiontology
  • use species code for mop_endogenousin , i.e., for Caenorhabditis elegans, enter 6239
  • test upload on mangolassi with
./populate_oa_tab_file.pl mangolassi #### realfile.tsv      where #### is WBPersonID

populate missing mop_table values from chebi.obo with

/home/postgres/work/pgpopulation/mop_molecule/20151104_chebi_again/populate_other_chebi.out
make sure chebi.obo file is in the same directory.

Drug-phenotype curation

Molecules will be linked to genes based on their influence on gene activity altered by variation, overexpression, and RNAi-based knockdown.

Drug-gene interactions

Molecules will also be linked to genes through their influence on gene activity directly through gene regulation interactions.

Changes for WS252

  • syncing with chebi.obo
 on manoglassi /home/postgres/work/pgpopulation/mop_molecule/20151104_chebi_again/
 chebis_in_mop_vs_obo - chebi IDs in one file but not the other
 chebi_name_discrepancies - among chebi IDs that exist in both sets, when no name or synonym match the other
 compare_chebi.pl - works off of chebi.obo, can run in own directory with updated chebi.obo (copy script to directory with new version of chebi.obo)
*pgpopulation script 
 on mangolassi /home/postgres/work/pgpopulation/mop_molecule/20151104_chebi_again/populate_other_chebi.out

-incorporates chebi values for the other tables (mop_kegg, mop_smiles, mop_inchi, mop_inchikey, mop_molformula, mop_iupac, note:not mop_exactmass)
-should replace all the KEGG compound ids with what is in the chebi.obo if the KEGG compound id in mop_kegg is missing. If the KEGG compound ids are different in chebi.obo vs mop_kegg, replace the value with the chebi.obo value and report the discrepancy in the output.

 Output tells you if a chebiID does not exist. 
 'HAS MOP' are entries that have an obo and mop value 
 same vs diff is whether what's in obo and mop is the same or different
mop_table	chebi.obo entry	example
mop_molformula	synonym: "<formula>" RELATED FORMULA [ChEBI:]  (changed)

Initial mop tables

For entering, editing, and storing information about molecule objects.

on tazendra or mangolassi:
~postgres/public_html/cgi-bin/oa/wormOA.pm

&initWormFields is like a switch to load a specific OA, each of them has a 3 letter code that corresponds to the postgres table name. so 'mop' is for the molecule oa and the 'mop_'

s in postgres mop then calls &initWormMopFields.
currently around line 1200 there are sets of hashes like :
 $fields{mop}{id}{type}                             = 'text';
 $fields{mop}{id}{label}                            = 'pgid';
 $fields{mop}{id}{tab}                              = 'all';
 $fields{mop}{paper}{type}                          = 'multiontology';
 $fields{mop}{paper}{label}                         = 'WBPaper';
 $fields{mop}{paper}{tab}                           = 'all';
 $fields{mop}{paper}{ontology_type}                 = 'WBPaper';
 $fields{mop}{name}{type}                           = 'text';
 $fields{mop}{name}{label}                          = 'Name';
 $fields{mop}{name}{tab}                            = 'all';

most of these correspond to a postgres table. the first one is the exception, which is the pgid. so excluding that in the example above, there are 2 postgres tables, mop_paper and mop_name

  • {type} is the type of data they hold
    • text
    • bigtext
    • ontology
    • dropdown
    • toggle
    • multiontology
    • multidropdown
  • {label} is the field name in the OA
  • {tab} is which tab number it should show in. 'all' shows up in

all tabs, but is mostly used in OAs with no numbered tabs

  • {ontology_type} if {type} is ontology / multiontology, ontology_type

refers to the type of values that go there for the autocomplete and validation.

  • {ontology_table} if the type is ontology / multiontology
 $fields{mop}{chebi}{type}                          = 'ontology';
 $fields{mop}{chebi}{label}                         = 'ChEBI_ID';
 $fields{mop}{chebi}{tab}                           = 'all';
 $fields{mop}{chebi}{ontology_type}                 = 'obo';
 $fields{mop}{chebi}{ontology_table}                = 'chebi';

which corresponds to the obo_ tables that are updates via cronjob or populated just once. in this case mapping to obo_<name|data|syn>_chebi

  • {dropdown_type} if the {type} is dropdown, which refers to the type of data like the {ontology_type}, but the values are hardcoded further down in the code instead of stored in postgres for querying.

Calculating monoistopic mass

Also called Exact mass

Calculate mass of entry in trp_molformula when it exists, examples include:

  • CH3COOH
  • H2SO4
  • Mg(OH)2 -> this needs to be translated to Mg + O(2) + H(2)

Calculation is the sum of the isotopic masses of each occurrence of each element in the mol formula.

Ex: CH3COOH has 2C, 4H and 2O
Masses are 
C = 12.000000
H = 1.007825
O = 15.994915

So the isotopic mass is  2(12.00000) + 4(1.007825) + 2(15.994915) = 60.021130
Enter 60.021130 into trp_exactmass

Masses are retrieved from http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/chemistry/chemintra/postgrad/taughtmasters/mscinfo/ch908/atomic_mass_abund.pdf
You need to use the value with the highest abundance for those elements that have multiple masses.
I can provide a better table for reference

Molecule list

Molecule names have changed to WBMoleculeIDs
Initially, we will be using MeSH UIDs, assigned by the NLM, as IDs for the molecules in our database. Due to the more comprehensive coverage of the NLM molecules, and the fact that it is more stably funded, this source was thought to be a good starting point for this project. The list we are starting with has been pared down and was created by the Comparative Toxicogenomic Database (CTD), which contains over 130,000 terms. For each term, this list contains a term name, CTD ID, MeSH UID, and where available CAS Registry Numbers. Using the CasRNs, we extracted the ChEBI ID from the Chemical Entities of Biological Interest database entity list, where it existed, along with any KEGG Compound accession number.

A sample molecule.ace record:

Molecule : "C009687"
Public_name "wortmannin"
Database "NLM_MeSH" "UID" "C009687"
Database "CTD"  "ChemicalID" "C009687"
Database "ChemIDplus"  "19545-26-7"
Database "ChEBI" "CHEBI_ID" "52289"
Database "KEGG COMPOUND" "ACCESSION_NUMBER" "C15181"

To make a working list of reference molecules for the various curation efforts, we used Textpresso to scan for all terms on the list that have been published in the C. elegans corpus. The resulting list is less than 6000 terms. The terms that have been identified in the corpus and available based on frequency in corpus and concatenated into one file
This last file is being used as a starting file for molecule look-up by WB curators.
Caveats and notes:

  • The list is now small enough that if we wanted to load it into WB at least we know that every term has some relevance to the literature (although unverified).
  • The list is small enough to be amenable to editing through ontology editors like OBOedit (even though it is not an ontology).
  • We do not have definitions of the terms, nor are the terms arranged in any hierarchical manner; however other databases do, and we provide links to those websites if an ID is available.
  • Terms and synonyms of terms, will be added as needed, this curation effort still needs to be worked out, ideally the list will be incorporated as a selection list for whatever curation tool a curator is using.

35114 Pcm-1 mutant dauer larvae exposed to juglone develop into adults with a defect in egg-laying (Egl). Pcm-1 mutant eggs exposed to the oxidizing agents paraquat, homocysteine, and homocysteine thiolactone undergo a developmental delay more pronounced than that observed in wild-type animals. Pcm-1 mutant eggs exposed to homocysteine develop in to adults with a defect in egg-laying.
