Abstract

Chromatin proteins mediate replication, regulate expression and ensure integrity of the genome. So far, a comprehensive inventory of interphase chromatin has not been determined.
This is largely due to its heterogeneous and dynamic composition, which makes conclusive biochemical purification difficult, if not impossible. As a fuzzy organelle it defies classical organellar proteomics and cannot be described by a single and ultimate list of protein components. Instead we propose a new approach that provides a quantitative assessment of a protein’s probability to function in chromatin. We integrate
chromatin composition over a range of different biochemical and biological conditions. This resulted in interphase chromatin probabilities for 7635 human proteins, including
1840 previously uncharacterized proteins. We demonstrate the power of our large-scale data-driven annotation during the analysis of CDK regulation in chromatin. Quantitative protein ontologies may provide a general alternative to list-based investigations of organelles and complement Gene Ontology.
