Accurate and sensitive interactome profiling using a quantitative protein-fragment complementation assay.

ABSTRACT: An accurate description of protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks is key to understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying cellular systems. Here, we constructed genome-wide libraries of yeast strains to systematically probe protein-protein interactions using NanoLuc Binary Technology (NanoBiT), a quantitative protein-fragment complementation assay (PCA) based on the NanoLuc luciferase. By investigating an array of well-documented PPIs as well as the interactome of four proteins with varying levels of characterization-including the well-studied nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) regulator Upf1 and the SCF complex subunits Cdc53 and Met30-we demonstrate that ratiometric NanoBiT measurements enable highly precise and sensitive mapping of PPIs. This work provides a foundation for emplo
