Protein protein interactions
- 2. PRESENTATION
- 4. Definition; • PROTEIN–PROTEIN INTERACTIONS (PPIs) are physical contacts of high specificity established between two or more protein molecules to carry out their biological functions effectively as result of these interactions that include electrostatic forces, hydrogen bonding and the hydrophobic effect.
- 5. Introduction; Protein–protein interactions occur when two or more proteins bind together, often to carry out their biological function. The protein –protein interaction have commonly been termed the ‘INTERACTOME’ by scientists. French researchers first coined the term "interactome" in 1999; the first protein-protein interactome data appeared in 2000. WHY WE STUDY PPI? Protein-protein interactions determine outcome of most cellular processes. Proteins which are close homologues often interact in the same way
- 6. •Protein-protein interactions provide evolutionary history of protein sequence and structural divergence • PPIs are Pre-cursor to networks. •Experimental studies indicate that many diseases that are related to molecular events occur due to lack of protein-protein interactions. •Studying protein interactions, especially disease-related, beneficial for the process of drug design.

- 11. Importance of PPIs Important field in cell biology & biochemistry. Posttranslational modifications. Signaling networks. Important field in viral replication which is very difficult to predict. Crucial for the understanding of the biological pathways, like cell signaling . PPI dysfunctions may lead to disease situations.
- 12. PPIs Classification• Based on Affinity Obligate Non-obligate • On The Basis of StabilityDuration of interaction Permanent Transient • On The Basis Of Composition Homo- Oligomers Hetero-oligomers • On The Basis Of Bonding Covalent Non-covalent
- 18. Role Of Water in PPIs Water molecules play a significant role in the interactions between proteins. The crystal structures of complexes, obtained at high resolution from different but homologous proteins, have shown that some interface water molecules are conserved between homologous complexes. The majority of the interface water molecules make hydrogen bonds with both partners of each complex.
- 19. Some interface amino acid residues or atomic groups of one protein partner engage in both direct and water mediated interactions with the other protein partner. Thus, water molecules may facilitate the interactions .
- 21. Yeast Two Hybrid System •Also known as Y2H or two-hybrid screening. • Molecular biology technique used to discover protein-protein interactions and protein–DNA interactions . • Testing for physical interactions (such as binding) between two proteins or a single protein and a DNA molecule, respectively. •Pioneered by Stanley Fields and Ok-kyu Song in 1989.

- 31. Applications Of PPIS •Many PPIs are being used as therapeutic targets as they exhibit properties such as allosteric sites. •Maraviroc, a drug that inhibits CCR5 gp 120 interaction and is a prominent anti HIV drug. •PPIs have been used to identify the functions of unknown proteins. • It is based on the assumption that similar proteins have similar functions as they interacting each other. •Important targets for therapy and drug designing.
- 32. Factors Affecting PPIs Protein concentration, which in turn are affected by expression levels and degradation rates. Protein affinity for proteins or other binding ligands. Ligands concentrations (substrates, ions, etc.). Presence of other proteins, nucleic acids, and ions. Electric fields around proteins.
