Identification of a calcium channel modulator using a high throughput yeast two-hybrid screen

Abstract: The interaction of the N-type calcium channel beta3 subunit with the alpha1B subunit alters the activation/inactivation kinetics and the maximal conductance of the channel. The defined protein-protein interaction of the human alpha1B and beta3 subunits provides a target for small-molecule modulation of N-type channel activity. We describe a high throughput screen based on a counterselection yeast two-hybrid assay, which was used to identify small molecules that disrupt alpha1B-beta3 subunit interactions and in… Show more

“…[1][2][3][4][5] When the three-dimensional structure of the target is known or can be modeled, virtual screening using molecular docking can also be used to discover new lead compounds. [6][7][8][9][10] In principle, HTS should discover all of the interesting ligands in a database, whereas the predictions of computer-based docking screens are less reliable and must be tested.…”

“…The interaction of human calcium channel subunits α1B and β3 has been coupled to a marker conferring cycloheximide sensitivity (Young et al 1998). A screen of >150 000 compounds identified 10 compounds that rescued growth of the α1B and β3 strain, but not a control strain in the presence of cycloheximide.…”

“…17 To realize the speed and automa-tion necessary to aggressively pursue potential modulators of protein-protein interactions, YTH-based assays would benefit from a quantitative rapid reporter system that could be adapted into a liquid-based HTS assay format. Because the majority of the YTH reporters currently in use have an assay window of several days, 23 we developed and validated the functionality of several luciferase reporter genes in various YTH interactions.…”

“…12 Previous YTH screening methods used an agar-based platform. 17 To develop a YTH-based assay format amenable for high throughput, we investigated luci-ferase reporter systems. Despite being commonly used as a reporter gene in mammalian cell-based systems, 18 luciferase (luc) has not been used in an analogous manner in yeast.…”
