Protein-protein interactions: guilty-by-association Protein-protein interaction network Red protein: Unknown function Yellow protein: RNA splicing White protein: Other functional role
Classical methods for identifying protein-protein interactions • Co-immunoprecipitation • Affinity chromatography / crosslinking • Fluorescence energy transfer (FRET) • Dominant negatives • Over-expression of a mutant form of protein X causes loss of function despite the presence of native proteins. One explanation is that X forms a multimer that sequesters functional proteins.
High-throughput methods for measuring interactions • Phage display • SOS recruitment assay • Split-ubiquitin system • Dual-bait system • 2-hybrid • Protein complementation assay (PCA) • Co-immunoprecipitation • Protein arrays • ChIP-Chip/Chip-Seq
Yeast Two Hybrid (Y2H) Method • One problem with phage display and other in vitro technologies is that the measured binding may not actually occur. • Y2H assays interactions in vivo. • Uses property that transcription factors generally have separable transcriptional activation (AD) and DNA binding (DBD) domains. • A functional transcription factor can be created if a separately expressed AD can be made to interact with a DBD. • A protein ‘bait’ B is fused to a DBD and screened against a library of protein ‘preys’, each fused to a AD.
Transcription factor An activating transcription factor: Binds to DNA using a DNA-binding domain (DBD) Recruits the transcriptional machinery using a transcriptional activation domain (AD)

General strategy Affinity Purification Step
Load affinity column with antigen (or antibody) Proteins react with different affinities Proteins sieve through matrix of affinity beads Affinity Chromatography Designed to purify a protein from a complex mixture
Wash off proteins that do not bind Elute and collect bound proteins Affinity Chromatography (2)
General strategy Affinity Purification Step Mass Spectrometry Step
Mass spectrometry • Mass spectrometers consist of three essential parts: • Ionization source: Converts peptides into gas-phase ions (MALDI + ESI) • Mass analyzer: Separates ions by mass to charge (m/z) ratio (Ion trap, time of flight, quadrupole) • Ion detector: Current over time indicates amount of signal at each m/z value For details on Proteomics, see Aebersold & Mann, Nature, 2003

Issues with Y2H • Strengths • high sensitivity (transient & permanent PPIs) • takes place in vivo • independent of endogenous expression • Weaknesses: False positive interactions • Auto-activation • ‘sticky’ prey • detects “possible interactions” that may not take place under real physiological conditions • may identify indirect interactions (A-C-B) • Weaknesses: False negatives interactions • Similar studies often reveal very different sets of interacting proteins (i.e. False negatives) • may miss PPIs that require other factors (e.g. ligands, proteins, PTMs)
Affinity Purification & mass spectrometry • Strengths • high specificity • well suited for detecting permanent or strong transient interactions (complexes) • detects real, physiologically relevant PPIs • Weaknesses • less suited for detecting weaker transient interactions (low sensitivity) • may miss complexes not present under the given experimental conditions (low sensitivity) • may identify indirect interactions (A-C-B)
