Inducible Yeast Two-Hybrid with Quantitative Measures

Show abstract
The yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) assay has long been used to identify new protein-protein interaction pairs and to compare relative interaction strengths. Traditional Y2H formats may be limited, however, by use of constitutive strong promoters if expressed proteins have toxic effects or post-transcriptional expression differences in yeast among a comparison group. As a step toward more quantitative Y2H assays, we modified a common vector to use an inducible CUP1 promoter, which showed quantitative induction of several "bait" proteins with increasing copper concentration. Using mouse Nxf1 (homologous to yeast Mex67p) as a model bait, copper titration achieved levels that bracket levels obtained with the constitutive ADH1 promoter. Using a liquid growth assay for an auxotrophic reporter in multiwell plates allowed log-phase growth rate to be used as a measure of interaction strength. These data demonstrate the potential for quantitative comparisons of protein-protein interactions using the Y2H system.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
