Searching for TSG101 interacting protein by yeast two-hybrid screening

Tumor Susceptibility Gene, TSG101, has been identified as a tumor susceptibility gene with multiple functions. TSG101 encodes a 46 kDa protein composed of 390 amino acids. As previous studies reported, TSG101 participates in cell-cycle control, membrane proteins¡¦ trafficking, and transcriptional regulation. To identify the proteins that mediated function involved TSG101, we perform yeast two-hybrid cDNA library screening to search for TSG101-interacting proteins. A construct pAS2-1-TSG101 was used as a bait to screen a human testis cDNA library. This screening selected 68 TSG101 interacting clones, including 17 known proteins. These proteins were functionally classified as participating in cell-cycle alteration, protein sorting, transcriptional regulation, modification, signal transduction and other functions. Our results provide the evidences which not only confirm the results of previous studies, but also provide further information related to TSG101 biological functions worth intensive study. Among these clones, we choose KLIP1 gene, which encodes a transcription factor, for further study to elucidate the functional role of TSG101 in nucleus. In vitro GST pull-down assay and in vivo co-immunoprecipitation assay were performed using GST-KLIP1 and HA-tagged KLIP1, respectively, have demonstrated that TSG101 and KLIP1 indeed interact with each other within mammalian cells. Detailed biological function mediated through this TSG101 and KLIP1 interaction awaits further investigation.
