Yeast 2 Hybrid

One problem associated with the yeast 2-hybrid system is that protein interactions that are dependent on posttranslational modifications that can occur only in mammalian cells, would not be detected. For example, monoubiquitinylation and serine phosphorylation of a Fanconi anemia complementation group D2 protein (FANC-D2) are both required for mediating cellular resistance to ionizing radiation (122), an interaction that would be missed using this approach.

As well as those methods adumbrated, which give either a structural or a thermodynamic perspective, there are methods which are more indirect, affording inferential insights rather than a direct and relatively unequivocal readout. These include both library-based and so-called genetic methods. Library methods are typified by perhaps the most widely known method in PPIs the so-called yeast 2 hybrid, or Y2H system, and the other well-known approach phage display and...

Expression of a recombinant protein using an inducible vector system would permit expression at endogenous levels to simulate physiologic levels of expression of a protein of interest. Tandem affinity purification strategies have recently been employed and facilitate the analyses of highly interactive proteins when the bait protein is expressed at endogenous levels. Immunoaffinity or immunoprecipitation followed by LC-MS/MS does not readily permit determination of the stoichiometry of interacting partners. Additionally, when compared to yeast hybrid experiments, it is difficult to determine whether interactions are binary when identified in complexes by MS/MS.

Fig. 1 Three representative cases of wPPIs. Case I a weak protein-protein interaction found in a locally highly crowded manner. Case II a weak domain-domain interaction, exemplified by A-B pair, as part of a tight multi-domain complex. Such weak binary domain-domain interaction may be undetectable by many conventional methods including deletion mapping, yeast-hybrid approach, immunoprecipitation, etc., but become apparent when the tertiary structure of the tight complex is challengingly determined. However, NMR may be able to pick this interaction at early stage of the characterization. Case III a weak protein-protein interaction as a part of multi-protein complex. Similar to II), a weak A-D pair may not be detectable in isolated manner by any conventional techniques except NMR...

Biological raw data are stored in public databanks (such as Genbank or EMBL for primary DNA sequences). The data can be submitted and accessed via the World Wide Web. Protein sequence databanks like trEMBL provide the most likely translation of all coding sequences in the EMBL databank. Sequence data are prominent, but also other data are stored, e.g.yeast two-hybrid screens, expression arrays, systematic gene-knock-out experiments, and metabolic pathways. 

PIAS (protein inhibitors of activated STATs) proteins were first discovered in yeast-two-hybrid screens as interacting molecules with STAT transcription factors. The mammalian family consists ofthe founding member PIAS3, which was described as a repressor of STAT3, and three additional members, PIAS1, PIASy (also known as PIAS4), and PIASx (also known as... 

This estimation (and the distribution of repetitive-sequence DNA) is based on a variety of DNA-RNA hybridization techniques and, more recently, on direct DNA sequencing. Similar techniques are used to estimate the number of active genes in a population of unique-sequence DNA. In brewers yeast Saccha-romyces cerevisiae, a lower eukaryote), about two thirds of its 6200 genes are expressed. In typical tissues in a higher eukaryote (eg, mammalian liver and kidney), between 10,000 and 15,000 genes are expressed. Different combinations of genes are expressed in each tissue,... 

Figure 5.1. Yeast two-hybrid system. Interaction of proteins X and Y upstream of a reporter gene leads to transcriptional activation. Protein X is part of a fusion protein that binds to a site on DNA upstream of the reporter gene by means of a DNA binding domain. Protein Y is part of a fusion protein that contains a transcriptional activation domain. Interaction of proteins X and Y places the activation domain in the vicinity of the reporter gene and stimulates its transcription.

Figure 5.2. High-throughput mating assay for two-hybrid protein interaction screening. Yeast strains containing individual bait and prey clones are combined in a well and allowed to mate. Diploids are then selected and scored for a protein-protein interaction using the selection provided by the transcriptional reporter gene.

Figure 5.3. Systematic mating ofyeast two-hybrid bait and prey pools. Each yeast ORF was cloned individually into both as a DNA binding domain fusion (bait) and activation domain fusion (prey). The bait fusions were introduced into a MATa strain and the prey fusions were introduced into a MATa strain. The bait and prey fusions were pooled in sets of 96 clones to generate a total of 62 pools of each. The pools were systematically mated (62 x 62) in a total of 3844 crosses. Interacting clones were selected and the bait and prey inserts were PCR amplified and sequenced to determine their identify. Figure adapted from Ito et al. (2001).

The genome of the Helicobacterpylori bacterium is 1.6 million base pairs in size and encodes 1590 ORFs (Tomb et al., 1997). The comprehensive two-hybrid library screen performed with these ORFs differs from the yeast experiments described above in that the Gal4 activation domain library used consisted of over ten million random genomic fragments (Rain et al., 2001). Thus, the potential problem of full-size ORFs masking protein-protein interactions is reduced. A total of 261 ORFs were fused to the Gal4 DNA binding domain to create a set of baits. These ORFs... 

A bacterial two-hybrid system has been developed that, similar to the yeast system, functions via activation of transcription (Dove and Hochschild, 1998 Joung et al., 2000). RNA polymerase (RNAP) in E. coli consists of an enzymatic core composed of the a, (3, and (3 subunits in the stoichiometry a2(3(3, and one of several c factors that enable the enzyme to recognize specific promoters (Heilman and Chamberlin, 1988). Many bacterial transcriptional activator proteins bind the promoters they regulate and interact directly with subunits of RNAP. The most commonly observed contact is between activator proteins and the a subunit of RNAP (Ebright and Busby, 1995). The function of the a subunit is to initiate the assembly of RNAP by forming a dimer (Igarashi et al., 1991). 

The bacterial one and two-hybrid systems have potential advantages over the yeast two-hybrid system due to the higher transformation efficiency and faster growth rate of coli. To date, however, the bacterial two-hybrid system has not been used for genome-scale analysis of protein-protein interactions.
