Kinesin superfamily proteins (KIFs)은 세포 내 소기관이나 단백질복합체를 미세소관을 따라 운반하는 모터단백질이다. Kinesin 1은 경쇄단위체(light chain subunit)를 통하여 결합함으로써 세포 내 소기관, 신경소포, 신경전달물질수용체, 신호전달단백질, mRNA 등 다양한 운반체를 운반하는 KIFs의 한 종류이다. Kinesin light chains (KLCs)은 모터기능이 없는 단위체로서 kinesin heavy chains (KHCs) 이량체와 결합하여 kinesin 1을 구성한다. KLCs은 여러 단백질과 결합하지만 아직 결합단백질이 충분히 밝혀지지 않았다. 본 연구에서 KLC1의 tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) 영역과 결합하는 단백질을 분리하기 위하여 효모 two-hybrid 탐색을 수행한 결과 Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome의 원인단백질이며 액틴 세포골격 조절단백질인 WASP/WAVE family의 하나인 WAVE1을 분리하였다. WAVE1은 KLC1의 TPR 영역을 포함한 부위와 결합하지만 KHCs인 KIF5A, KIF5B, KIF5C와는 결합하지 않았다. 또한 KLC1은 WAVE1의 C-말단에 존재하는 verprolin/cofilin/acidic (VCA) 도메인과 결합하였으며, 다른 WAVE isoform인 WAVE2와 WAVE3과도 결합하였다. HEK-293T 세포에 WAVE1과 KLC1을 동시에 발현시켰을 때 두 단백질이 세포 내에서 같은 부위에 존재하며, WAVE1을 면역침강한 결과 KLC1뿐만 아니라 KIF5B가 같이 침강함을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과들은 kinesin 1이 WAVE 단백질복합체 혹은 WAVE로 덮여있는 운반체를 운반함을 시사한다.

The (Na,K)ATPase is responsible for generating the ionic gradients and membrane potentials by the exchange of intracellular $Na^+$ for $K^+$. It has been recentl y shown that (Na,K)ATPase is involved in the exocytic pathway of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), although it is not known that bFGF is secreted to the outside of cell through direct interaction with (Na,K) ATPase. To understand the role for (Na,K)ATPase in the secretary pathway of bFGF, we have sought to identify the cytoplasmic domains of the alpha1 isoform of (Na,K)ATPase interacting with bFGF by yeast two-hybrid system. We have also investigated the interaction between the alpha2 isoform of (Na,K)ATPase and bFGF to find out whether the interaction is isoform-specific. We found that none of the cytoplasmic domains of (Na,K)ATPase isoforms interacted with bFGF. The result suggests that the interaction between bFGF and (Na,K)ATPase might be indirect, thus requiring other proteins which are involved in the formation of protein complexes for the interaction, although we cannot exclude the possibility that the interaction requires the element of the whole alpha subunit structure that was not present in the isolated alpha subunit cytoplasmic domains.

Estimating the reliability of protein-protein interaction data sets obtained by high-throughput technologies such as yeast two-hybrid assays and mass spectrometry is of great importance. We develop a maximum likelihood estimation method that uses both protein localization and gene expression data to estimate the reliability of protein interaction data sets. By integrating protein localization data and gene expression data, we can obtain more accurate estimates of the reliability of various interaction data sets. We apply the method to protein physical interaction data sets and protein complex data sets. The reliability of the yeast two-hybrid interactions by Ito et al. (2001) is 27%, and that by Uetz et at.(2000) is 68%. The reliability of the protein complex data sets using tandem affinity purification-mass spec-trometry (TAP) by Gavin et at. (2002) is 45%, and that using high-throughput mass spectrometric protein complex identification (HMS-PCI) by Ho et al. (2002) is 20%. The method is general and can be applied to analyze any protein interaction data sets.

In this study, degradation of estrone (E1) and $17{\alpha}$-ethynylestradiol (EE2) by gamma-irradiation and subsequent reduction of estrogenic activity as a function of absorbed dose were conducted using the yeast two-hybrid assay. Relative potency of E1 and EE2 compared to estrogenic activity of $17{\beta}$-estradiol (E2) was found to be 0.0144 and 0.1605, respectively. More than 90% of E1 and EE2 (both $5.0{\times}10^{-6}M$) was removed at an absorbed dose of 5 kGy, but more than 40% of estrogenic activity still remained. The addition of $TiO_2$ catalyst appeared to improve the removal efficiency of E1 and decrease estrogenic activity while there was no significant effect for EE2. Additionally, the calculated estrogenic activity of E1 and EE2 based on a regression model was well correlated with the observed activity.

Deciphering the molecular interactions of proteins forming Z-lines is pivotal for understanding the regulation of myofibril assembly, sarcomeric organization, and mechanical properties of striated muscle. The purpose of this study is to searched for potential novel ligands of the Z-line portion of nebulin. In this study interacting proteins with intra-Z-line region of nebulin were screened using a yeast two-hybrid approach. The interaction was conformed by GST pull-down assay. We identified 269 residues within villin/gelsolin homology domain of supervillin that intreacts with the serine rich region of nebulin. The specific interactions of nebulin and supervillin were confirmed in vitro by GST pull-down experiments. Our data suggest that supervillin attaches directly to the Z-line through its interaction with the serine rich domain of nebulin in skeletal muscles. This interaction may link myofibrillar Z-discs to the membrane-associated complexes, costameres.

A series of pep tides binding to the HCV NS5B polymerase was selected from phage display peptide libraries. A conserved motif of Ser-Arg-X-Arg/Leu was identified among the selected peptides, and Pep2 (Trp-Ser-Arg-Pro-Arg-Ser-Leu) was chosen for further characterization. The binding of Pep2 to HCV NS5B in vivo was shown by a yeast two-hybrid assay and by subcellular colocalization analysis using immunofluorescence confocal microscopy. The in vitro interaction was also confirmed by GST pulldown assay. The replication of the HCV 1b subgenomic replicon was efficiently inhibited by the presence of the peptide. By using a subtractive biopanning against Pep2, the binding site of the peptide was mapped at the pocket of Pro388 to Pro391 in the thumb subdomain of the polymerase. A yeast two-hybrid analysis using Pro388Ala and Pro391Ala mutants of NS5B confirmed the binding.

Heterotrimeric GTP binding proteins (G proteins) mediate signal transduction generated by neurotransmitter and hormones. Among G-proteins, Go is classified as a member of the Go/Gi family and the most abundant heterotrimeric G protein in brain. Most of the mechanistic analyses on the activation of Go indicated its action to be mediated by the $G{\beta}{\gamma}$ dimer because downstream effectors for its ${\alpha}$ subunit have not been clearly defined. To determine the downstream effectors of alpha subunits of Go ($Go{\alpha}$), we used yeast two-hybrid system to screen $Go{\alpha}$ interacting partners in cDNA library from the human brain. A brain specific high mobility group box containing protein (BHX), A possible transcription factor, was identified as a $Go{\alpha}$ interacting protein. We confirmed interaction between $Go{\alpha}$ and BHX employing in vitro affinity binding assay. Moreover, active form of $Go{\alpha}$ preferentially interacts with BHX than inactive farm. Our findings indicate that $Go{\alpha}$ could modulate gene expression via interaction with BHX during neuronal or brain development.
