Protein–protein interactions: PDZ domain networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
PDZ domains can dimerize or bind to the carboxyl termini of unrelated proteins. Crystallographic studies demonstrate the structural basis for these interactions, which contribute to the ability of PDZ domains to create networks associated with the plasma membrane.

Uncovering quantitative protein interaction networks for mouse PDZ domains using protein microarrays.
One of the principal challenges in systems biology is to uncover the networks of protein-protein interactions that underlie most biological processes. To date, experimental efforts directed at this problem have largely produced only qualitative networks that are replete with false positives and false negatives. Here, we describe a domain-centered approach--compatible with genome-wide investigat...
متن کاملPDZ domain proteins: plug and play!
Protein-protein interactions are key elements in building functional protein complexes. Among the plethora of domains identified during the last 10 years, PDZ domains are one of the most commonly found protein-protein interaction domains in organisms from bacteria to humans. Although they may be the sole protein interaction domain within a cytoplasmic protein, they are most often found in combi...
متن کاملDiscovering Domains Mediating Protein Interactions
Background: Protein-protein interactions do not provide any direct information regarding the domains within the proteins that mediate the interactions. The majority of proteins are multi domain proteins and the interaction between them is often defined by the pairs of their domains. Most of the former studies focus only on interacting domain pairs. However they do not consider the in...
متن کاملAnalysis of PDZ domain interactions using yeast two-hybrid and coimmunoprecipitation assays.
The PDZ domain is a protein-protein interaction module that interacts with a C-terminal short peptide motif in its binding partners. A variety of methods have been used to study PDZ domain interactions. This chapter details the two methods most commonly used in the analysis of PDZ interactions: yeast two-hybrid and coimmunoprecipitation assays. In addition, we discuss the features that must be ...
متن کاملInferring PDZ Domain Multi-Mutant Binding Preferences from Single-Mutant Data
Many important cellular protein interactions are mediated by peptide recognition domains. The ability to predict a domain's binding specificity directly from its primary sequence is essential to understanding the complexity of protein-protein interaction networks. One such recognition domain is the PDZ domain, functioning in scaffold proteins that facilitate formation of signaling networks. Pre...
