Reconstituted Complex

An interaction is inferred between proteins in vitro. This can include proteins in recombinant form or proteins isolated directly from cells with recombinant or purified bait. For example, GST pull-down assays where a GST-tagged protein is first isolated and then used to fish interactors from cell lysates are considered reconstituted complexes (e.g. PUBMED: 14657240, Fig. 4A or PUBMED: 14761940, Fig. 5). This can also include gel-shifts, surface plasmon resonance, isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) and bio-layer interferometry (BLI) experiments. The bait-hit directionality may not be clear for 2 interacting proteins. In these cases the directionality is up to the discretion of the curator.

Preferential and specific binding of human αB-crystallin to a cataract-related variant of γS-crystallin.

Kingsley CN, Brubaker WD, Markovic S, Diehl A, Brindley AJ, Oschkinat H, Martin RW

Transparency in the eye lens is maintained via specific, functional interactions among the structural βγ- and chaperone α-crystallins. Here, we report the structure and α-crystallin binding interface of the G18V variant of human γS-crystallin (γS-G18V), which is linked to hereditary childhood-onset cortical cataract. Comparison of the solution nuclear magnetic resonance structures of wild-type and G18V γS-crystallin, both presented here, reveal ... [more]
