Abstract
Protein-protein interactions are critical in cellular signaling pathways. This project investigates binding interactions between SHP-2, a tyrosine phosphatase, and DDX3, an RNA helicase. There is a specific focus on the impact that gain-of-function SHP-2 mutations may impact binding to DDX3 via conformational change. Using immunoprecipitation protocols as well as western blotting we were able to provide insights into SHP-2 molecular mechanisms and subsequent binding to DDX3.
