Because of its adaptability to high-throughput approaches and a low operating cost, the yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) assay remains the most widely used one for high-throughput protein-protein interactions (PPI) mapping experiments. Here we provide a detailed protocol for a liquid culture-based high-throughput binary protein-protein Y2H screen pipeline of a pool of 50 proteins used as baits against a collection of ~12,000 Arabidopsis proteins encoded by sequence-verified open reading frames (ORFs).

Objective: This study aims to investigate how the E3 ubiquitin ligase LITAF influences mitochondrial autophagy by modulating MCL-1 ubiquitination, and its role in the development of epilepsy.
Methods: Employing single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to analyze brain tissue from epilepsy patients, along with high-throughput transcriptomics, we identified changes in gene expression. This was complemented by in vivo and in vitro experiments, including protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis, western blotting, and behavioral assessments in mouse models.
B7-H3 (CD276), a member of the B7-family of immune checkpoint proteins, has been shown to have immunological and non-immunological effects promoting tumorigenesis [1, 2] and expression correlates with poor prognosis for many solid tumors, including cervical, ovarian and breast cancers [3-6]. We recently identified a tumor-cell autochthonous tumorigenic role for dimerization of the 4Ig isoform of B7-H3 (4Ig-B7-H3) [7], where 4Ig-B7-H3 dimerization activated tumor-intrinsic cellular proliferation and tumorigenesis pathways, providing a novel opportunity for therapeutic intervention. Herein, a live cell split-luciferase complementation strategy was used to visualize 4Ig-B7-H3 homodimerization in a high-throughput small molecule screen (HTS) to identify modulators of this protein-protein interaction (PPI).

Background: Maslinic acid (MA), a pentacyclic triterpenoid compound derived from leaves and fruits of Olea europaea, bears multi-pharmacological properties. Our previous studies found that MA exerted a cardioprotective effect by modulating oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis during myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI). Nevertheless, data regarding the anti-ferroptosis effects of MA on MI/RI remains unidentified.

Aims: To investigate the mechanisms through which Qianlong Shutong Formula (QLSTF) exerts its effects on the management of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Background: BPH is a prevalent condition among older men and poses significant management challenges due to the limited effectiveness and potential side effects associated with current treatment options. QLSTF, a traditional Chinese medicine, has been utilized in the treatment of BPH; however, its mechanism of action remains inadequately understood.
