Yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) screening methods are an effective means for the detection of protein–protein interactions. Optimisation and automation has increased the throughput of the method to an extent that allows the systematic mapping of protein–protein interactions on a proteome-wide scale. Since two-hybrid screens fail to detect a great number of interactions, parallel high-throughput approaches are needed for proteome-wide interaction screens. In this review, we discuss and compare different approaches for adaptation of Y2H screening to high-throughput, the limits of the method and possible alternative approaches to complement the mapping of organism-wide protein–protein interactions.
Keywords: Yeast two-hybrid, protein–protein interactions, interaction proteome
