New high-throughput technology to map protein interactions
-Synthetic yeast cells enabled to visualize molecular networks of the cell-
Associate Professor Nozomu Yachie (Synthetic Biology) at RCAST, the
University of Tokyo and researchers at University of Toronto have
co-developed a high-throughput protein interaction technology BFG-Y2H.
This new technology utilizing synthetic yeast cells as massive
"bio-vials" achieved a higher throughput than ever before to identify
protein interactions of the cell. Using BFG-Y2H, the researchers
demonstrated that human protein interactions amongst ~2.5 million protein
pairs can be screened by a single researcher in a few weeks. The new
technology increases the efficiency of protein matrix screening, with
quality that is on par with state-of-the-art protein interaction methods,
and opens the door towards new biological researches underlying a big
data of macromolecular webs.
The results of this research were published on Molecular Systems Biology,
Vol 12, Number 4.
