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.

Methods for Studying Interactions Between Atg8/LC3/GABARAP and LIR-Containing Proteins.

Johansen T, Birgisdottir AB, Huber J, Kniss A, Doetsch V, Kirkin V, Rogov VV

LC3/GABARAP proteins (LC3/GABARAPs) are mammalian orthologues of yeast Atg8, small ubiquitin (Ub)-like proteins (UBLs) whose covalent attachment to lipid membranes is crucial for the growth and closure of the double membrane vesicle called the autophagosome. In the past decade, it was demonstrated that Atg8/LC3/GABARAPs are also required for autophagic degradation of cargos in a selective fashion. Cargo selectivity is ensured ... [more]
