A systematic scan of interactions with tyrosine motifs in the erythropoietin receptor using a mammalian 2-hybrid approach.

Signaling via the erythropoietin receptor (EpoR) depends on the interaction of several proteins with phosphorylated tyrosine-containing motifs in its cytosolic domain. Detailed mapping of these interactions is required for an accurate insight into Epo signaling. We recently developed a mammalian protein-protein interaction trap (MAPPIT), a cytokine receptor-based 2-hybrid method that ...
operates in intact Hek293-T mammalian cells. As baits, we used intracellular segments of the EpoR containing 1 or 2 tyrosines. Several known signaling molecules, including cytokine-inducible SH2-containing protein (CIS), suppressor of cytokine signaling-2 (SOCS2), phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase (PI3-K), phospholipase C-gamma (PLC-gamma), and signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 (STAT5) were used as prey. We also extended the MAPPIT method to enable interaction analysis with wild-type EpoR. In this relay MAPPIT approach, instead of using isolated EpoR fragments as bait, we used the full-length EpoR itself as a "receptor bait." Finally, we introduced MAPPIT in the erythroleukemic TF-1 cell line, which is a more natural setting of the EpoR. With these strategies several known interactions with the EpoR were analyzed and evidence for new interactions was obtained.
