Chromosome-Centric Human Proteome Project  (C-HPP)


Mission of the C-HPP

The Human Proteome Project (HPP) of the Human Proteome Organization (HUPO) aims to find high-stringency evidence for all proteins encoded by the human genome, the major splice forms of each protein, mature N- and C-termini, and their major protein post-translational modifications (PTMs). Indeed, one cannot do the best biology and/or medical research without a complete understanding of the parts of the human proteome. Conversely, the international C-HPP teams need the input of biology/disease (B/D) teams to understand the biological context of the parts list. It is a question of focus. A focus on the parts list promotes a measurement- and detail-focused analytical mindset, while a focus on the biological context is focused on outcomes and may ignore individual parts in the context of the overall picture. In conclusion, both mindsets are indivisible parts of the larger HPP initiative.

C-HPP Meetings

The Chromosome Centric Human Proteome Project (C-HPP) announces the 25th C-HPP Workshop on “Accelerating the HPP Grand Challenge” to be held in Algarve, Portugal on Friday, May 13, 2022 following the 2nd Joint Meeting of Spanish, French, and Portuguese Proteomics Societies.

By analogy to the term “dark proteins” coined to represent structurally uncharacterized regions, C-HPP investigators have recently adopted the term “dark proteome” to collectively refer to those proteins for which we have insufficient

information on either protein expression, structure, function, or all of these: They include, for example, MPs (PE2−4), PE5, uPE1 proteins, and any potential proteins translated from smORF or lncRNAs. When focused on uPE1 proteins, there are nearly 2,000 proteins which have no functional information (Paik et al., 2018, JPR, DOI:10.1021/acs.jproteome.8b00383).

On March 1, 2018, HUPO C-HPP announced launching the neXt-CP50 where CP stands for “characterization of proteins”. This pilot project aims to characterize function of 50 uPE1 proteins during ~3 years (2018-2021). This challenge is to test the feasibility of the functional characterization of large numbers of dark proteins, 2000 at present the 15 teams are focusing on specific tractable targets that can be investigated

Of the C-HPP consortium international teams, 15 from 12 countries joined this project: Chr 2 (Switzerland), Chr 3 (Japan), Chr 4 (Taiwan), Chr 9, 11, 13 (Korea), Chr 10, Chr 14 (France), Chr 15 (Brazil), Chr 16 (Spain), Chr 17 (USA), Chr 18 (Russia), Chr 19 (Mexico), Chr 20 (China), and Chr Y (Iran).
