US Patent 10988759 High throughput protein-protein interaction screening in yeast liquid culture

The present invention relates to methods and compositions for the high throughput screening of protein-protein interactions in yeast liquid culture. Protein fusions non-native to yeast may be expressed to replace endogenous sexual agglutination proteins and mediate library-by-library interrogation of protein interactions. The methods and compositions of the invention can be utilized for the characterization of protein interaction networks in high throughput for both binding affinity and specificity, which is crucial for understanding cellular functions, screening therapeutic candidates, and evaluating engineered protein networks.
