Protein-Protein Interactions (PPIs) are the key components in many cellular processes including signaling pathways, enzymatic reactions and epigenetic regulation. Abnormal interactions of some proteins may be pathogenic and cause various disorders including cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Although inhibiting PPIs with small molecules is a challenging task, it gained an increasing interest because of its strong potential for drug discovery and design. The knowledge of the interface as well as the structural and chemical characteristics of the PPIs and their roles in the cellular pathways is necessary for a rational design of small molecules to modulate PPIs. In this study, we review the recent progress in the field and detail the physicochemical properties of PPIs including binding hot spots with a focus on structural methods. Then, we review recent approaches for structural prediction of PPIs. Finally, we revisit the concept of targeting PPIs from a systems biology perspective and we refer to approaches that are usually employed when the structural information is not present.

INVESTIGATION OF PHYSICAL INTERACTION BETWEEN Gαi AND Gαs PROTEINS VIA FRET IN LIVE CELLS Balkan, Seyda Tuğçe; Son, Çağdaş Devrim; Küçük Baloğlu, Fatma; Department of Biochemistry (2021-8-11) GPCR’s are seven-transmembrane receptors that transmit external signals to the intracellular environment via secondary messenger systems through heterotrimeric G proteins. Heterotrimeric G proteins consist of α and β-γ subunits. Until recent years, scientists thought that GPCR signal transduction occurs between one GPCR and one heterotrimeric G protein; however, recently, it has been shown that GPCR’s can make oligomers. Oligomerization of GPCR allows cells to tune the intensity of the signal and respond ap...
Prediction of Protein Interactions by Structural Matching: Prediction of PPI Networks and the Effects of Mutations on PPIs that Combines Sequence and Structural Information Tunçbağ, Nurcan; Nussinov, Ruth; Gursoy, Attila (Humana Press Inc., 2017) Structural details of protein interactions are invaluable to the understanding of cellular processes. However, the identification of interactions at atomic resolution is a continuing challenge in the systems biology era. Although the number of structurally resolved complexes in the Protein Databank increases exponentially, the complexes only cover a small portion of the known structural interactome. In this chapter, we review the PRISM system that is a protein–protein interaction (PPI) prediction tool—its r...
A robust optimization approach for the breast cancer targeted design of PEtOx-b-PLA polymersomes Oz, Umut Can; Bolat, Zeynep Busra; Ozkose, Umut Ugur; Gulyuz, Sevgi; Kucukturkmen, Berrin; Khalily, Melek Parlak; Özçubukçu, Salih; Yilmaz, Ozgur; Telci, Dilek; ESENDAĞLI, GÜNEŞ; Sahin, Fikrettin; Bozkir, Asuman (2021-04-01) © 2021 Elsevier B.V.The equipping of nanoparticles with the peptide moiety recognizing a particular receptor, enables cell or tissue-specific targeting, therefore the optimization of the targeted nanoparticles is a key factor in the formulation design process. In this paper, we report the optimization concept of Doxorubicin encapsulating PEtOx-b-PLA polymersome formulation equipped with Peptide18, which is a breast cancer recognizing tumor homing peptide, and the unveiling of the cell-specific delivery pote...
Comparison of fluorescent protein labelled and wild type NMDA receptor distribution Pirinçci, Şerife Şeyda; Son, Çağdaş Devrim; Department of Biology (2013) NMDA (N-methyl D-aspartate) Receptor is a ligand and voltage gated ion channel and involved in many processes such as synaptic plasticity, memory formation, behavioral responses and cell survival. In the sense of functional activity, cellular localization of NMDAR is important since this receptor shows its activity on the membrane. Although NMDA receptor is intensely studied there are no satisfying study showing its localization with microscobic methods. Besides, the effect of florescent protein labelling o...
DynaDom: structure-based prediction of T cell receptor inter-domain and T cell receptor-peptide-MHC (class I) association angles Hoffmann, Thomas; Marıon, Antoıne; Antes, Iris (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2017-02-02) Background: T cell receptor (TCR) molecules are involved in the adaptive immune response as they distinguish between self- and foreign-peptides, presented in major histocompatibility complex molecules (pMHC). Former studies showed that the association angles of the TCR variable domains (Va/V beta) can differ significantly and change upon binding to the pMHC complex. These changes can be described as a rotation of the domains around a general Center of Rotation, characterized by the interaction of two highly...
