Yeast split-ubiquitin-based cytosolic screening system to detect interactions between transcriptionally active proteins.
Interactions between proteins are central to most biological processes; consequently, understanding the latter requires identification of all possible protein interactions within a cell. To extend the range of existing assays for the detection of protein interactions, we present a novel genetic screening assay, the cytosolic yeast two-hybrid system (cytoY2H), which is based on the split-ubiquit...
متن کاملA genetic system based on split-ubiquitin for the analysis of interactions between membrane proteins in vivo.
A detection system for interactions between membrane proteins in vivo is described. The system is based on split-ubiquitin [Johnsson, N. & Varshavsky, A. (1994) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 91, 10340-10344]. Interaction between two membrane proteins is detected by proteolytic cleavage of a protein fusion. The cleavage releases a transcription factor, which activates reporter genes in the nucleus....
متن کاملIdentification of Cellular Membrane Proteins Interacting with Hepatitis B Surface Antigen using Yeast Split-Ubiquitin System
Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) is the major component of the envelope of hepatitis B virus (HBV). As a resident membrane protein in the endoplasmic reticulum, it plays a key role in the viral morphogenesis. Little is known about cellular proteins that interact with HBsAg and thereby contributing to HBV morphogenesis. Using the yeast split-ubiquitin system, a number of cellular membrane pro...
متن کاملSplit-Ubiquitin Based Membrane Yeast Two-Hybrid (MYTH) System: A Powerful Tool For Identifying Protein-Protein Interactions
The fundamental biological and clinical importance of integral membrane proteins prompted the development of a yeast-based system for the high-throughput identification of protein-protein interactions (PPI) for full-length transmembrane proteins. To this end, our lab developed the split-ubiquitin based Membrane Yeast Two-Hybrid (MYTH) system. This technology allows for the sensitive detection o...
متن کاملImproved split-ubiquitin screening technique to identify surface membrane protein-protein interactions.
Yeast-based methods are still the workhorse for the detection of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) in vivo. Yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) systems, however, are limited to screening for a specific group of molecules that interact in a particular cell compartment. For this reason, the split-ubiquitin system (SUS) was developed to allow screening of cDNA libraries of full-length membrane proteins for p...
