Designed tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand variants initiating apoptosis exclusively via the DR5 receptor. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 103 (2006) 8634-8639. By using the automatic design algorithm FOLD-X, DR5-selective TRAIL variants have been generated. These variants do not induce apoptosis in DR4-responsive cell lines, but show a large increase in biological activity in DR5-responsive cancer cell lines. This study shows that the specificity of protein-protein interactions can be successfully modified using computational protein design without having high-quality structural data available for all relevant interactions. Moreover, it demonstrates that changing the specificity of protein-protein interactions using computational design could be a valuable approach for designing novel therapeutics.

PARE is a protein design strategy to enhance the rate constant of association by increasing the electrostatic attraction between a protein pair. A very high correlation is found between experimentally determined association rate constants for mutants and calculated changes in association rate constants relative to the wild-type complex. Using this design strategy and maintaining the dissociation rate constant, the affinity between TEM1 and its protein inhibitor, BLIP, could be enhanced 250-fold.

This study shows that it is possible to discriminate between different node types, in metabolic networks, by analyzing the edges occurring within and/or between modules. The ability to use topological information to identify modules and different node types underscores the usefulness of the network formalism for the study of cellular pathways.

This is the first large-scale curation effort using structural information on binding interfaces. Using the iPfam database, the authors determined the most likely binding interface for all S. cerevisiae protein-protein interactions. This information was used to show that protein essentiality/lethality, protein sequence conservation and co-expression of binding partners are dependent on the number of binding interfaces.
