Abstract
Functional protein microarrays offer the capability for high?throughput protein interaction analysis and have long promised to be a powerful tool for understanding protein interactions at the proteome scale. Although popular techniques for protein?protein interaction mapping like yeast?two?hybrid and affinity?purification mass spectrometry have performed well for identifying intracellular protein?protein interactions, the study of interactions between extracellular proteins has remained challenging for these methods. Instead, the use of protein microarrays appears to be a robust and efficient method for the identification of interactions among the members of this class of protein. This unit describes methods for extracellular protein microarray production, screening, and analysis. A protocol is described for enhanced detection of low?affinity interactions by generating multivalent complexes using Fc?fusion bait proteins and protein A microbeads, along with a statistical method for hit scoring and identification of nonspecific interactions.

Figure 27.3.1 Secretome protein library organization. (A ) One box of 48 secretome protein master stock vials for storage at −20°C is shown. (B ) Samples from two master stock boxes are transferred to one 96‐well stock plate as shown. (C ) Samples from two 96‐well plates are transferred to one 384‐well printing plate. Note that the two 96‐well plates constitute the content of the left two quadrants of the 384‐well plate. The two right quadrants contain Cy3‐BSA. As samples are arrayed, the 48‐pin printhead should start at the top left and proceed left to right and top to bottom. Therefore, the first sample pickup will encompass rows A to D and columns 1 to 12. The second sample pickup will consist of entirely Cy3‐BSA (rows A to D and columns 13 to 24). The pattern is the same for the remainder of the plate with alternating sample and Cy3‐BSA pickup. View Image -
Figure 27.3.2 Protein microarray blocking. A ZeptoFog device (ultrasonic mister) used to block slides after printing is shown with 8 slides loaded on the platform surface with the lid off. An air pump (blue device) is connected to circulate the mist from the ultrasonic mister immersed in blocking solution below the perforated platform. View Image -
Figure 27.3.3 Multivalent bait microbead complexes. (A ) Schematic model of a protein A‐microbead complex with extracellular domain (ECD)‐Fc fusion protein. Protein A is shown attached to the microbead and binding the Fc (blue) domain of the captured bait protein. (B ) Schematic model representing Cy5‐labeled IgG (red) and unlabeled Fc‐fusion bait proteins (blue) co‐captured on the protein A microbeads. (C ) Results from a test of different molar ratios of Fc‐fusion bait (CD200‐Fc) protein to IgG‐Cy5 mixed and complexed with protein A microbeads followed by binding to a slide with immobilized CD200R. Cy5 fluorescence signal minus the background signal is shown (F635‐B635). A 1:1 ratio provides a sufficiently strong signal. View Image -
Figure 27.3.4 Identification of optimal protein A microbead to Fc‐fusion protein ratios. A representative ForteBio Octet sensorgram using protein A sensors is shown. The association curves represent a titration of protein A microbeads (as indicated) against a constant amount of Fc‐fusion protein (4 µg). The minimal bead concentration where no free Fc‐fusion remains is selected as optimal (40 µl, the black curve in this case). This figure is reproduced with permission from Ramani et al.

Figure 27.3.5 Example QC plots generated by the gpscreen package. (A ) Example QC plots are shown for a screen of BTLA on duplicate slides. The pixels in each plot represent spot intensities (left), background (middle), and background corrected (right) data as a function of slide location. Each slide is represented as 48 subgrids. (B ) An enlargement of the plots showing background corrected data. Note that spatial effects are largely removed except for potential hits. A small amount of carryover can also be detected visually.

Figure 27.3.6 Statistical methodology for hit determination. (A ) Histograms of scores for two array replicates with the fitted normal distribution and the 0.0001 probability cut‐off (vertical red line) indicated. Hits are represented by asterisks plotted above the x axis. (B ) A representative intersection plot for hit identification is shown. The histograms for array 1 and 2 shown in (A ) can be considered 1‐dimensional projections along the x and y axis of the intersection plot, respectively. The dashed, diagonal line represents equality. The horizontal and vertical lines are the individual 0.0001 probability cut‐offs. There are no array 1‐only hits. Blue circles are array 2‐only hits. Purple triangles represent hits against nonspecific binders. Black circles are intersection hits. This figure is reproduced with permission from Ramani et al. () View Image -
Figure 27.3.7 Protein microarray layout and mask fitting. (A ) Scanned image from a protein microarray slide (Cy3—green; Cy5—red). The yellow boxes outline the first four subgrids out of 48 that comprise the entire microarray. Several hits are shown outlined in white boxes. Enlargements of subgrids containing hits are displayed on the right. The alternating pattern of protein (blank) and Cy3‐BSA samples printed in duplicate is clearly evident. (B ) A close‐up is shown demonstrating mask fitting and spot alignment for spot integration by the data extraction software. View Image
