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.

Novel agonist monoclonal antibodies activate TrkB receptors and demonstrate potent neurotrophic activities.

Qian MD, Zhang J, Tan XY, Wood A, Gill D, Cho S

Tyrosine kinase receptor B (TrkB) mediates neurotrophic effects of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) to increase neuronal survival, differentiation, synaptic plasticity, and neurogenesis. The therapeutic potential of TrkB activation using BDNF has been demonstrated well in several preclinical models of CNS diseases, validating TrkB as a promising drug target. Therefore, we aimed to develop TrkB-specific receptor agonists by using a monoclonal ... [more]
