Interactome
![Page 3: 125:583 Biointerfacial Characterization: Protein-Protein Interactions October 30, 2006](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56813ace550346895da2f0f4/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The interactome
•Proteins rarely (if ever) act alone
•Components of biomolecular machines
•Estimate: average of 5 interacting partners per protein

Identification and characterization: A formidable
problem•Proteins have very diverse
physiochemical properties
•Equilibrium dissociation constants can vary over several orders of magnitude
•Proteins vary in abundance and intracellular localization
•Differing conditions for purifying individual proteins.
![Page 5: 125:583 Biointerfacial Characterization: Protein-Protein Interactions October 30, 2006](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56813ace550346895da2f0f4/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Two major considerations relating to protein-protein complexes
•Have to identify protein-protein interactions
•Characterize the molecular and biophysical interactions between proteins
![Page 6: 125:583 Biointerfacial Characterization: Protein-Protein Interactions October 30, 2006](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56813ace550346895da2f0f4/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Molecular and biophysical characterization of complexes:
additional considerations
•Oligomeric state of interacting proteins
•Stoichiometry of the complex
•Affinity of interacting partners for each other
•In vitro analyses require large amounts of pure proteins
![Page 7: 125:583 Biointerfacial Characterization: Protein-Protein Interactions October 30, 2006](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56813ace550346895da2f0f4/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The two general themes of interest
•Methods for identification of novel protein-protein interactions (“molecular biology” – we’ll touch on this)
•Methods for analyses of protein-protein interactions (“cell biology” and “physical biochemistry” – major focus of the lecture)
![Page 8: 125:583 Biointerfacial Characterization: Protein-Protein Interactions October 30, 2006](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56813ace550346895da2f0f4/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Identifying novel protein-protein interactions: tandem affinity
purification
![Page 10: 125:583 Biointerfacial Characterization: Protein-Protein Interactions October 30, 2006](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56813ace550346895da2f0f4/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Large-scale identification of protein-protein complexes
•Gavin et al. (Nature 415: 141-147, 2002) performed massive TAP strategy using yeast S. cerevisiae
•Tag one component of 200 different complexes, transformation, perform TAP, identify subunits by mass spectrometry

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR)
http://www.astbury.leeds.ac.uk/Facil/SPR/spr_intro2004.htm
• SPR occurs when light is reflected off thin metal film
• Fraction of light energy interacts with delocalized electrons in metal and angle at which this occurs is determined by refractive index on backside of film
• Molecule binding to surface changes refractive index, leading to change in .
• Monitored in real time as changes in reflected light intensity to produce a sensorgram
![Page 15: 125:583 Biointerfacial Characterization: Protein-Protein Interactions October 30, 2006](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56813ace550346895da2f0f4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Advantages of SPR
•No labeling of interacting proteins required (can even use cell extracts)
•Interactions detected in real time
•Both equilibrium and interaction kinetics can be analyzed
•But.....one protein must be tethered to the surface

Fluorescencecorrelationspectroscopy(FCS)
G(), is a measure of the self-similarity ofthe signal after a lag time (). It resemblesthe conditional probability of finding a molecule in the focal volume at a later time.
![Page 21: 125:583 Biointerfacial Characterization: Protein-Protein Interactions October 30, 2006](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56813ace550346895da2f0f4/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Dual color cross-correlation: More effective for protein-protein interaction studies
• Cross-correlation amplitude is proportional to number of double-labeled molecules
• Suited to monitoring association and dissociation reactions
![Page 22: 125:583 Biointerfacial Characterization: Protein-Protein Interactions October 30, 2006](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56813ace550346895da2f0f4/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
An example application of FCCS
•Endocytic pathway: cholera toxin (CTX)
•CTX has AB5 subunit structure
•“B” subunit required for membrane binding and cellular uptake
•“A” subunit has enzymatic activity (elevates cAMP) → massive efflux of Na+ and water
•Do subunits remain associated throughout vesicular transport?
![Page 23: 125:583 Biointerfacial Characterization: Protein-Protein Interactions October 30, 2006](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56813ace550346895da2f0f4/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Flow chart of the experiment
•Label A and B subunits with indocarbo-cyanine dyes Cy3 and Cy5.
•Double-labeled CTX added to cells
•Wash away excess toxin
•Perform FCCS at successive time points and different positions in same cell
•At what stage in endocytic pathway do “A” and “B” subunits diverge?

FCCS analyses after 15 minutes
![Page 26: 125:583 Biointerfacial Characterization: Protein-Protein Interactions October 30, 2006](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56813ace550346895da2f0f4/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Conclusions: endocytosis of CTX, codiffusion in endocytic vesicles,and separation of “A” and “B” subunits within the Golgi apparatus
Note: FRET was not suitable here, since the molecules are not necessarilywithin the “close proximity” required for FRET.

A brief review of photophysics: Jablonski Diagram
• Photoexcitation from the ground state S0 creates excited states S1, (S2, …, Sn)
• Kasha’s rule: Rapid relaxation from excited electronic and vibrational states precedes nearly all fluorescence emission
• Internal Conversion: Molecules rapidly (10-14 to 10-11 s) relax to the lowest vibrational level of S1.
• Intersystem crossing: Molecules in S1 state can also convert to first triplet state T1; emission from T1 is termed phosphorescence, shifting to longer wavelengths (lower energy) than fluorescence. Transition from S1 to T1 is called intersystem crossing.

What is FRET?
•Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer
•Initial energy absoption (excitation)
•Loss of some energy (vibration, etc.)
•Nonradiative movement of energy to second molecule (resonance transfer)
•Loss of some more energy (vibration, etc.)
•Bolus release of remaining energy (emission)

A cartoon explanation of FRET
• Example: Two membrane-associated proteins. Do they form protein-protein contacts?
• One fused to CFP, the other to GFP
• FRET efficiency is a function of scalar distance apart

Total internal reflection fluorescence
Mashanov et al. Methods 29: 142-152, 2003
• TIRF occurs when light traveling from high- to low-refractive index medium strikes interface at an angle > c (e.g., ~65° for glass-cytoplasm interface)
• High-numerical-aperture lens → light at periphery approaches specimen at i > c causing total internal reflection
• Permits single-molecule imaging of cell surface phenomena with unparalleled resolution

An example application of TIRFM
•Early events in signal transduction
•Binding of epidermal growth factor (EGF) to its receptor (EGFR)
•EGF binds EGFR:EGF-(EGFR)2 + EGF → (EGF-EGFR)2
or2(EGF-EGFR) → (EGF-EGFR)2 ??
•Autophosphorylation of EGFR →→→ cell division
•Examined Cy3-EGF binding to EGFR by TIRFM
