Assembly of Cell Regulatory Systems Through Protein Interaction Domains
Tony Pawson1,2*, and
Piers Nash1
Abstract:
The sequencing of complete genomes provides a list that includesthe proteins responsible for cellular regulation. However, thisdoes not immediately reveal what these proteins do, nor howthey are assembled into the molecular machines and functionalnetworks that control cellular behavior. The regulation of manydifferent cellular processes requires the use of protein interactiondomains to direct the association of polypeptides with one anotherand with phospholipids, small molecules, or nucleic acids. Themodular nature of these domains, and the flexibility of theirbinding properties, have likely facilitated the evolution ofcellular pathways. Conversely, aberrant interactions can induceabnormal cellular behavior and disease. The fundamental propertiesof protein interaction domains are discussed in this reviewand in detailed reviews on individual domains at Science's STKEat http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/300/5618/445/DC1.
