Comments concerning this interaction

Interaction in vitro; proteins derived from S2 cell extract.

The C3PO complex was purified from S2 cell extract based on its in vitro RISC enhancing activity and shown to contain the two proteins Trax and trsn. The RISC enhancing activity could be reconstituted by adding purified Trax and trsn to the in vitro RISC assay.

Comments concerning this interaction

Interaction in vitro; proteins produced as a recombinant fusion protein in bacterial system.

The crystal structure of a truncated CP3O, a complex of truncated versions of trsn and Trax reveals a hexamer composed of two trsn-Trax heterodimers and one trsn homodimer.

Interaction in vitro; proteins produced as a recombinant fusion proteins in bacterial system.

The estimated molecular mass of the truncated trsn-Trax complex in solution is consistent with the hexamer observed in crystallo. However, the full length trsn-Trax complex, runs at a higher molecular weight in solution than expected if it were also a hexamer.

Interaction in vitro; proteins produced as a recombinant fusion proteins in bacterial system.

Mass-spectrometric measurements of full length trsn-Trax, show that the complex can exist as an octamer with a 6:2 or 5:3 trsn-Trax ratio, with the 6:2 species being the major component. Mass-spectrometric measurements of the truncated trsn-Trax complex, show species with 2:2 , 4:2 and 6:2 trsn-Trax ratios, with the 2:2 and 4:2 species as the major components.
