What is Hubs and Bottlenecks in Protein-Protein Interaction Networks about?

Protein-protein interaction networks (PPINs) represent the physical interactions among proteins in a cell. These interactions are critical in all cellular processes, including signal transduction, metabolic regulation, and gene expression. In PPINs, centrality measures are widely used to identify the most critical nodes. The two most commonly used centrality measures in networks are degree and betweenness centralities. Degree centrality is the number of connections a node has in the network, and betweenness centrality is the measure of the extent to which a node lies on the shortest paths between pairs of other nodes in the network. In PPINs, proteins with high degree and betweenness centrality are referred to as hubs and bottlenecks respectively. Hubs and bottlenecks are topologically and functionally essential proteins that play crucial roles in maintaining the network's structure and function. This article comprehensively reviews essential literature on hubs and bottlenecks, including their properties and functions.
