  • METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS RELATED TO IDENTIFYING PROTEIN-PROTEIN INTERACTIONS
    Publication number: 20090221440
    Abstract: The present invention involves compositions and methods for assessing protein interactions in eukaryotic cells. Certain embodiments involve Retrovirus-Based Molecular Two-Hybrid Screens (ReMTH). ReMTH screens differ from other methods by performing screens in the native cellular hosts without cDNA library construction. Embodiments of the invention use the advantages of tagging endogenous genes with an exon encoding a marker fragment in combination with protein-fragment complementation assays (PCAs), which includes the complementation of at least two marker fragments to form a detectable marker complex. ReMTH vectors insert a nucleotide sequence encoding a first fragment of a marker, such as green fluorescent protein (GFP), into an endogenous gene resulting in expression of random endogenous genes tagged with a first marker fragment forming an endogenous prey protein or prey protein. ReMTH contain cells also express a bait protein that is fused with a second marker fragment.
