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.

Identification of ribosomal protein L34 as a novel Cdk5 inhibitor.

Moorthamer M, Chaudhuri B

The cell cycle is regulated by sequential activation, inactivation of cyclin dependent kinases (Cdk-s). Like all other Cdk-s, the catalytic subunit of Cdk5 is present in cycling cells. However, its highest concentration is found in differentiated neurons, and the only known protein that activates Cdk5 (i.e., p35) is expressed solely in the brain. Active Cdk5 is thought to be involved ... [more]
