TL;DR: The map uncovers significant interconnectivity between known and candidate cancer gene products, providing unbiased evidence for an expanded functional cancer landscape, while demonstrating how high-quality interactome models will help "connect the dots" of the genomic revolution.

TL;DR: The utility of HuRI is demonstrated in identifying the specific subcellular roles of protein–protein interactions and in identifying potential molecular mechanisms that might underlie tissue-specific phenotypes of Mendelian diseases.

TL;DR: This work cloned full-length open reading frames of alternatively spliced transcripts for a large number of human genes and used protein-protein interaction profiling to functionally compare hundreds of protein isoform pairs, revealing a widespread expansion of protein interaction capabilities through alternative splicing and suggesting that many alternative "isoforms" are functionally divergent (i.e., "functional alloforms").

TL;DR: The first human “all-by-all” binary reference interactome map, or HuRI, is presented and it is demonstrated the use of HuRI in identifying specific subcellular roles of PPIs and protein function modulation via splicing during brain development.

TL;DR: A role for the cellular protein kinase TAO2 is uncovered as a constituent of nuclear speckles and as a factor required for the integrity of these nuclear bodies and for their functions in pre-mRNA splicing and trafficking.
