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.

Structure of the MeCP2-TBLR1 complex reveals a molecular basis for Rett syndrome and related disorders.

Kruusvee V, Lyst MJ, Taylor C, Tarnauskaite Z, Bird AP, Cook AG

Rett syndrome (RTT) is an X-linked neurological disorder caused by mutations in the methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2) gene. The majority of RTT missense mutations disrupt the interaction of the MeCP2 with DNA or the nuclear receptor corepressor (NCoR)/silencing mediator of retinoic acid and thyroid receptors (SMRT) corepressor complex. Here, we show that the "NCoR/SMRT interaction domain" (NID) of MeCP2 directly ... [more]

A Protein-Fragment Complementation Assay (PCA) is a protein-protein interaction assay in which a bait protein is expressed as fusion to one of the either N- or C- terminal peptide fragments of a reporter protein and prey protein is expressed as fusion to the complementary N- or C- terminal fragment of the same reporter protein. Interaction of bait and prey proteins bring together complementary fragments, which can then fold into an active reporter, e.g. the split-ubiquitin assay.
