Increasing specificity in high-throughput yeast two-hybrid experiments

Abstract
Since its inception, the yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) system has proven to be an efficient system to identify novel protein-protein interactions. However, Y2H screens are sometimes criticized for generating high rates of false-positives. Minimizing false-positive interactions is especially important in proteome wide high-throughput (HT) Y2H. Here, we summarize various approaches that reduce false-positives in HT-Y2H projects. We evaluated the potential of examining putative positives after removing the prey encoding plasmid by negative selection. We found that this method reliably identifies false-positives caused by spontaneous conversion of baits into auto-activators and provides significant time-savings in HT screens. In addition, we present a method to eliminate an important source of false-positives: contaminating prey plasmids. Y2H interactors can be wrongly identified due to the presence of two or more different plasmids in the cells of a single yeast colony. Of these independent plasmids, only one encodes a genuine interactor. Contaminating plasmids are eliminated by extended culture of yeast cells under positive selection for the interaction, allowing the identification of the true interaction partner.
