High throughput methods to study protein-protein interactions during host-pathogen interactions

Eur J Cell Biol. 2024 Jan 24;103(2):151393. doi: 10.1016/j.ejcb.2024.151393. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe ability of a pathogen to survive and cause an infection is often determined by specific interactions between the host and pathogen proteins. Such interactions can be both intra- and extracellular and may define the outcome of an infection. There are a range of innovative biochemical, biophysical and bioinformatic techniques currently available to identify protein-protein interactions (PPI) between the host and the pathogen. However, the complexity and the diversity of host-pathogen PPIs has led to the development of several high throughput (HT) techniques that enable the study of multiple interactions at once and/or screen multiple samples at the same time, in an unbiased manner. We review here the major HT laboratory-based technologies employed for host-bacterial interaction studies.PMID:38306772 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejcb.2024.151393
