Abstract

In this article, we describe a Y2H interaction mapping protocol for systematically screening medium-to-large collections of open reading frames (ORFs) against each other. The protocol is well suited for analysis of focused networks, for modules of interest, assembling genome-scale interactome maps, and investigating host-microbe interactions. The four-step high-throughput protocol has a demonstrated low false-discovery rate that is essential for producing meaningful network maps. Following the assembly of yeast expression clones from an existing ORFeome collection, we describe in detail the four-step procedure that begins with the primary screen using minipools, followed by secondary verification of primary positives, identification of candidate interaction pairs by sequencing, and a final verification step using fresh inoculants. In addition to this core protocol, aspects of network mapping and quality control will be discussed briefly. © 2018 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
