Abstract

Arrays are used for parallel assays of large numbers of proteins in a single experiment. They provide an alternative to libraries for protein screening purposes. This unit describes a protein array composed of living yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae ) cells that can be used in a functional screen for protein interactions, the two?hybrid assay. The protocols described here use the yeast proteome as an example, but they can be applied to any other genome or subset thereof.

Figure 19.6.1 Two subsequent two‐hybrid screens of a full‐length activation domain–open reading frame library with full‐length PHO85 protein (a cyclin‐dependent kinase) as bait. (A ) First screen. (B ) Second screen. Reproducible positives are indicated by arrows. Some reproducible positives are either nonyeast contaminants (c) or false positives (f). Nonyeast contaminants can be identified by their unusual shape, size, or color. False positives are either nonreproducible or reproducible positives, but the latter are usually found in many independent screens with unrelated baits (hence they are nonspecific). Given these criteria, the following preys were identified as reproducible positives (plates are numbered in columns): PCL10, PCL6, CLG1 (plate 4), SOR1 (plate 5), CDC36 (plate 11), PCL9, PCL2, YPL229W (plate 12), YDL246C (plate 13), PCL8 (plate 14). PCLs are cyclins, and most of them are known PHO85 interactors; CLG1 is a cyclin‐like protein; CDC36 is a transcription factor; YPL229W is a protein of unknown function; SOR1 is sorbitol dehydrogenase; and YDL246C is a SOR1‐related protein. Most of these preys are either known or highly plausible interactors of PHO85. The biological role of an interaction between SOR1 and PHO85 remains unclear but is supported by YDL246C, which is a relative of SOR1. Note that these two screens have an unusually high number of contaminants on plates 9 and 10. The false positives have been found in more than 10% of all screens.
