(A) Schematic representation of inter and intramodular interactions. Intermodular interactions are defined as the interactions between two proteins A and B if they participate in distinct functional complexes without having any shared protein complex between A and B (DI = 0). Intramodular interactions are defined as the interactions between protein A and B when there is at least one functional protein complex shared between A and B (DI = 1). (B) Boxplot showing a significant difference in the distribution of DI between targeted PPI and non-targeted PPI. DI is defined as the ratio of the number of shared protein complexes between two targeted and non-targeted interacting protein pairs to the total number of unique protein complexes in which A and B participate. (C) Stacked bar plot showing a higher percentage of intermodular interactions among targeted PPIs as compared to non-targeted PPIs.
