Abstract
In 1983, while investigators had identified a few human proteins as important regulators of specific biological outcomes, how these proteins acted in the cell was essentially unknown in almost all cases. Twenty-five years later, our knowledge of the mechanistic basis of protein action has been transformed by our increasingly detailed understanding of protein-protein interactions, which have allowed us to define cellular machines. The advent of the yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) system in 1989 marked a milestone in the field of proteomics. Exploiting the modular nature of transcription factors, the Y2H system allows facile measurement of the activation of reporter genes based on interactions between two chimeric or “hybrid” proteins of interest. After a decade of service as a leading platform for individual investigators to use in exploring the interaction properties of interesting target proteins, the Y2H system has increasingly been applied in high-throughput applications intended to map genome-scale protein-protein interactions for model organisms and humans. Although some significant technical limitations apply, Y2H has made a great contribution to our general understanding of the topology of cellular signaling networks.
