Computational Approaches to Elucidating Transient Protein-Protein Interactions, Predicting Receptor-Ligand Pairings
Protein-protein interactions (PPI) are one of the most important biological events which occur in the cell. As PPIs regulate almost all biological processes in the cell, aberrations in PPI may cause severe health problems. One specific area of PPI is receptor-ligand interactions. These interactions are transient yet account for a large part of cell-to-cell communication. As PPI is an important ...
متن کاملContribution of hydrophobic interactions to protein stability.
Our goal was to gain a better understanding of the contribution of hydrophobic interactions to protein stability. We measured the change in conformational stability, Δ(ΔG), for hydrophobic mutants of four proteins: villin headpiece subdomain (VHP) with 36 residues, a surface protein from Borrelia burgdorferi (VlsE) with 341 residues, and two proteins previously studied in our laboratory, ribonu...
متن کاملTracking and elucidating alphavirus-host protein interactions.
Viral infections cause profound alterations in host cells. Here, we explore the interactions between proteins of the Alphavirus Sindbis and host factors during the course of mammalian cell infection. Using a mutant virus expressing the viral nsP3 protein tagged with green fluorescent protein (GFP) we directly observed nsP3 localization and isolated nsP3-interacting proteins at various times aft...
متن کاملExploiting Ligand-Protein Conjugates to Monitor Ligand-Receptor Interactions
We introduce three assays for analyzing ligand-receptor interactions based on the specific conjugation of ligands to SNAP-tag fusion proteins. Conjugation of ligands to different SNAP-tag fusions permits the validation of suspected interactions in cell extracts and fixed cells as well as the establishment of high-throughput assays. The different assays allow the analysis of strong and weak inte...
متن کاملHyperpolarized Water to Study Protein-Ligand Interactions.
The affinity between a chosen target protein and small molecules is a key aspect of drug discovery. Screening by popular NMR methods such as Water-LOGSY suffers from low sensitivity and from false positives caused by aggregated or denatured proteins. This work demonstrates that the sensitivity of Water-LOGSY can be greatly boosted by injecting hyperpolarized water into solutions of proteins and...
