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.

Deciphering the cellular pathway for transport of poly(A)-binding protein II.

Calado A, Kutay U, Kuehn U, Wahle E, Carmo-Fonseca M

Poly(A)-binding protein II (PABP2) is an abundant nuclear protein that binds with high affinity to nascent poly(A) tails, stimulating their extension and controlling their length. In the cytoplasm, a distinct protein (PABP1) binds to poly(A) tails and participates in mRNA translation and stability. How cytoplasmic PABP1 substitutes for nuclear PABP2 is still unknown. Here we report that PABP2 shuttles back ... [more]
