Abstract Binding of GH to its receptor induces rapid phosphorylation of conserved tyrosine motifs that function as recruitment sites for downstream signaling molecules. Using mammalian protein-protein interaction trap (MAPPIT), a mammalian two-hybrid method, we mapped the binding sites in the GH receptor for signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 (STAT5) a and b and for the negative regulators of cytokine signaling cytokine-inducible Src-homology 2 (SH2)-containing protein (CIS) and suppressor of cytokine signaling 2 (SOCS2). Y534, Y566, and Y627 are the major recruitment sites for STAT5. A non-overlapping recruitment pattern is observed for SOCS2 and CIS with positions Y487 and Y595 as major binding sites, ruling out SOCS-mediated inhibition of STAT5 activation by competition for shared binding sites. More detailed analysis revealed that CIS binding to the Y595, but not to the Y487 motif, depends on both its SH2 domain and the C-terminal part of its SOCS box, with a critical role for the CIS Y253 residue. This functional divergence of the two CIS/SOCS2 recruitment sites is also observed upon substitution of the Y+1 residue by leucine, turning the Y487, but not the Y595 motif into a functional STAT5 recruitment site.

The MAPPIT (mammalian protein protein interaction trap) method allows high-throughput detection of protein interactions by very simple co-transfection of three plasmids in HEK293T cells, followed by a luciferase readout. MAPPIT detects a large percentage of all protein interactions, including those requiring posttranslational modifications and endogenous or exogenous ligands. Here, we present a straightforward method that allows detailed mapping of interaction interfaces via MAPPIT. The method provides insight into the interaction mechanism and reveals how this is affected by disease-associated mutations. By combining error-prone polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for random mutagenesis, 96-well DNA prepping, Sanger sequencing, and MAPPIT via 384-well transfections, we test the effects of a large number of mutations of a selected protein on its protein interactions. The entire screen takes less than three months and interactions with multiple partners can be studied in parallel. The effect of mutations on the MAPPIT readout is mapped on the protein structure, allowing unbiased identification of all putative interaction sites. We have thus far analysed 6 proteins and mapped their interfaces for 16 different interaction partners. Our method is broadly applicable as the required tools are simple and widely available.

MAPPIT (mammalian protein–protein interaction trap) is a cytokine receptor-based two-hybrid method that operates in intact mammalian cells. A bait is fused C-terminally to a STAT (signal transducer and activator of transcription) recruitment-deficient receptor, whereas the prey is linked to functional STAT-binding sites. When bait and prey interact a ligand-dependent complementation of the STAT recruitment deficiency occurs, leading to activation of a STAT-responsive reporter. MAPPIT is very well suited to study protein interactions involving activated cytokine receptors as the technique allows modification of the bait protein in a physiologically optimal environment.

ABSTRACT Hepadnavirus polymerases initiate reverse transcription in a protein-primed reaction. We previously described a complementation assay for analysis of the roles of the TP and RT domains of HBV reverse transcriptase (pol) in the priming reaction. Independently expressed TP and RT domains form a complex functional for in vitro priming reactions. To map the minimal functional TP and RT domains, we prepared baculoviruses expressing amino- and carboxyl-terminal deletions of both the TP and RT domains and analyzed the proteins for the ability to participate in transcomplementation for the priming reaction. The minimal TP domain spanned amino acids 20 to 175; however, very little activity was observed without a TP domain spanning amino acids 1 to 199. The minimal RT domain spanned amino acids 300 to 775; however, little activity was observed unless the carboxyl end of the RT domain extended to amino acid 800. Thus, most of the RNase H domain was required. In previous studies, we observed a TP inhibitory domain between amino acids 199 and 344. The current analysis narrowed this domain to residues 300 to 334, which is a portion of the minimal RT domain. In addition, the ability of TP and RT deletion mutants to form stable TP-RT complexes was examined in coimmunoprecipitation assays. The minimal TP and RT domains capable of protein-protein interaction were considerably smaller than the domains required for functional interaction in the transcomplementation assays, and unlike priming activity, TP-RT interaction did not require the epsilon RNA stem-loop. These studies help to further define the complex protein-protein interactions required in HBV genome replication.
