Global analysis of protein homomerization in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

ABSTRACT: In vivo analyses of the occurrence, subcellular localization, and dynamics of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are important issues in functional proteomic studies. The bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) assay has many advantages in that it provides a reliable way to detect PPIs in living cells with minimal perturbation of the structure and function of the target proteins. Previously, to facilitate the application of the BiFC assay to genome-wide analysis of PPIs, we generated a collection of yeast strains expressing full-length proteins tagged with the N-terminal fragment of Venus (VN), a yellow fluorescent protein variant, from their own native promoters. In the present study, we constructed a VC (the C-terminal fragment of Venus) fusion library consisting of 5671 MATα st
