Abstract
The mating based split-ubiquitin (mbSUS) assay is an alternative method to the classical yeast two-hybrid system with a number of advantages. The mbSUS assay relies on the ubiquitin-degradation pathway as a sensor for protein-protein interactions, and it is suitable for the determination of interactions between full-length proteins that are cytosolic or membrane-bound. Here we describe the mbSUS assay protocol which has been used for detecting the interaction between K+ channel and SNARE proteins (Grefen et al., 2010 and 2015; Zhang et al., 2015 and 2016)

Background
Figure 1 is an overview of the mbSUS assay. The ubiquitin moiety is split into two halves, and the N-terminal half is mutated (NubG) to avoid reassembly. The C-terminal half of the ubiquitin moiety (Cub) is linked with the transcription reporter complex PLV (Protein A-LexA-VP16). The fusion of two proteins (X and Y) to NubG and CubPLV, respectively, yields a system for protein-protein interaction analysis. After transformation, the yeast strain THY.AP5 contains the NubG-X fusion protein, while yeast strain THY.AP4 contains the Y-CubPLV fusion protein. After mating, in the diploid yeast, if proteins X and Y interact with each other, a functional ubiquitin will be reassembled which leads to cleavage of the PLV. The released transcription protein complex PLV switches on reporter genes (ADE2, HIS3) and allows yeast growth on selective media.
Figure 1. The split-ubiquitin system. A. The Ubiquitin is split into two halves, the N-terminal wild type half (NubWt; NubI) and the C-terminal half (Cub). Reassembly of NubWt and Cub leads to the release of the transcription reporter complex Protein A-LexA-VP16 (PLV) by ubiquitin-specific proteases (USPs). B. Mutating the isoleucine at position 13 of the N-terminal half to glycine yields the NubG protein, which inhibits the spontaneous reassembly of ubiquitin. In diploid yeast, NubG-X and Y-CubPLV fusion proteins are produced. If X and Y do not interact, no functional ubiquitin is formed, and the yeast cannot grow on selective media as shown in a small image on top-right. C. If X interacts with Y, then NubG and Cub can reassemble as a functional ubiquitin, which leads to the release of PLV. The PLV activates the reporter genes (ADE2, HIS3) synthesising ADE and HIS, which allows yeast growth on the selective media without these chemicals as shown in a small image on top-right.
