A common regulatory mechanism to ensure that signaling components encounter their intracellular partners in the right place and time is the association of components in protein complexes. These protein interactions commonly use protein scaffolds with specialized protein-interaction modules (protein domains) as a key mechanism to achieve specificity. We consider that common and rare risk factors might affect overlapping signaling networks, integrating protein interactions through different cell types, cellular compartments, and developmental stages.
We use a systems biology approach, combining state of the art proteomic assays to define protein complexes and post-translational modifications, together with mouse genetics, computational biology, synaptic physiology, CRISPR technology, and hiPSC derived cell types from patients with mutations associated to complex brain disorders. This will help us to define network maps that will allow us to stratify patients by their correspondent pathway signatures, their genotype-phenotype relationship, and their genetic background.
