Protein interaction platforms: visualization of interacting proteins in yeast
Alexa M Schmitz1, Monica F Morrison1, Akochi O Agunwamba1, Max L Nibert2 & Cammie F Lesser1,2
Here we describe the protein interaction platform assay, a method for identifying interacting proteins in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This assay relies on the reovirus scaffolding protein
NS, which forms large focal inclusions in living cells. When a query protein is fused to
NS and potential interaction partners are fused to a fluorescent reporter, interactors can be identified by screening for yeast that display fluorescent foci.
