Abstract
Low?affinity extracellular protein interactions are critical for cellular recognition processes, but are not generally detected by methods that can be applied in a high?throughput manner. This unit describes a protein microarray platform that significantly improves the throughput of assays capable of detecting transient extracellular protein interactions. These methodological improvements now permit screening for novel extracellular receptor?ligand interactions on a genome?wide scale. Curr. Protoc.

Figure 27.5.1 Workflows involved in low‐affinity interaction detection by AVEXIS. Bait and prey proteins are produced as soluble recombinant proteins by transiently transfecting a mammalian cell line. The proteins are purified using an oligo‐His tag using a bespoke purification apparatus (the “Protein Press”) and subsequently printed onto glass slides before screening for interactions.

Figure 27.5.2 Flowchart showing the salient features of the bait and prey proteins, microarray printing and AVEXIS interaction screening. (A ) Design of the monomeric enzymatically monobiotinylated bait and pentamerized, enzyme‐tagged prey proteins. (B ) Construction of the protein microarrays by printing the monomeric biotinylated bait proteins on streptavidin‐coated slides. (C ) Procedure for screening of the protein microarrays with the prey proteins to detect interactions. View Image -
Figure 27.5.3 An image of a processed microarray slide illustrating typical results. Bait proteins were serially diluted and printed onto a microarray (with the most concentrated solutions at the top) before being probed with an appropriate prey. Positive interactions are detected in a concentration‐dependent manner. The slides also contain prey‐positive controls, landing marks (biotinylated HRP), and negative controls. View Image
