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.

Interleukin-4 and IL-10 bind covalently to activated human alpha2-macroglobulin by a mechanism that requires Cys949.

Garber TR, Gonias SL, Webb DJ

Alpha2-macroglobulin (alpha2M) functions as an extracellular carrier of diverse cytokines, including transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1), that expresses anti-inflammatory activities. The results presented here demonstrate that interleukin-10 (IL-10) and IL-4, which also regulate the inflammatory response, bind to alpha2M. Unlike TGF-beta, IL-4 and IL-10 bind almost exclusively to the receptor-recognized, or activated, form of alpha2M. Purified IL-4-alpha2M complexes were predominantly covalent ... [more]
