Sampling the Low End of Affinity
summary
A bacterial omega-based two-hybrid is combined with a HIS3 selectable + GFP scalable reporter so selections (10^9 transformation efficiency) enrich functionally and sorting by GFP separates weak from strong binders. Tests with Zif268 and multiple PDZ domains (Erbin, MAGI-3) show GFP correlates with known affinity shifts and recovers known partners at low GFP (low hundreds AU) using a ~0.5 mM 3-AT threshold. Throughput is ~25 selections/week and screens include a designed 50,000 human-peptide library, which recovers low-affinity interactions.
