Molecular interactions of therapeutic potential in neurodevelopmental disorders
Despite numerous high-throughput sequencing efforts in the past years, little data at the molecular level exist on proteins associated with neurodevelopmental disorders; even less is known about the protein-protein interactions (PPIs) involved in such conditions. While a number of proteins have been reported as candidates for involvement in autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), their respective interaction networks are poorly characterized. In this project, a number of seed proteins with suggested relevance to these two disorders will be selected and their interaction networks, and overlaps therein, will be characterized and validated. Selected “hot spot” protein interactions will be studied further using purified components, focusing on the effects of genetic variants on protein structure and function. Validated protein complexes will be further characterized using structural biology techniques, paving the way for future experiments aiming at pharmacological intervention of protein interactions.
Within the current project, we plan to identify central PPIs that could be of importance in neurodevelopmental disorders. Further, we want to validate the corresponding protein complexes in vitro and study the effects of known mutations/variants on PPIs. We aim to get high-resolution structural information on selected protein complexes and begin studies on small compounds targeting these selected PPIs. During the project, the aim is to start from selected seed proteins (including collapsin response mediator protein 2; CRMP-2), with partially characterized PPIs, at the same time attempting to identify novel interactions of relevance
