Abstract

In some aspects, the invention provides methods of identifying, detecting, and/or measuring protein-protein interactions. In some aspects, the invention provides methods of identifying and/or characterizing modulators of protein-protein interactions. In some aspects, the invention provides methods of identifying and/or characterizing modulators of protein activity, wherein the methods are based at least in part on measuring interaction between a chaperone and client protein. In some aspects, the invention provides methods for identifying and/or characterizing compounds and/or for assessing compound specificity, wherein the methods are based at least in part on measuring interaction between a chaperone and client protein. In some embodiments, a client protein is a kinase. In some embodiments, a compound is a kinase inhibitor. In some aspects, the invention provides methods of profiling kinase inhibitor specificity. In some aspects, the invention provides assay systems and/or reagents useful for performing one or more of the inventive methods. In some aspects, the invention provides newly identified targets of a variety of kinase inhibitors. In some aspect, the invention provides methods of inhibiting kinases identified herein as targets of certain kinase inhibitors. In some aspects, the invention provides methods of treating a disease, e.g., cancer, by inhibiting one or more kinase(s) newly identified as targets of certain kinase inhibitors.
