摘要：Methods are described for detecting protein-protein interactions, among twopopulations of proteins, each having a complexity of at least 1,000. For example, proteinsare fused either to the DNA-binding domain of a transcriptional activator or to theactivation domain of a transcriptional activator. Two yeast strains, of the opposite matingtype and carrying one type each of the fusion proteins are mated together. Productiveinteractions between the two halves due to protein-protein interactions lead to thereconstitution of the transcriptional activator, which in turn leads to the activation of areporter gene containing a binding site for the DNA-binding domain. This analysis can becarried out for two or more populations of proteins. The differences in the genesencoding the proteins involved in the protein-protein interactions are characterized, thusleading to the identification of specific protein-protein interactions, and the genesencoding the interacting proteins, relevant to a particular tissue, stage or disease.Furthermore, inhibitors that interfere with these protein-protein interactions are
identified by their ability to inactivate a reporter gene. The screening for such inhibitorscan be in a multiplexed format where a set of inhibitors will be screened against a libraryof interactors.
