Cross-Species Interactome Mapping Reveals Network Evolution Principles from Yeasts to Human
summary
Built a comprehensive fission yeast binary interactome by screening 75 million pairs (5,000 × 5,000 × 3) and reporting about 2,300 interactions across 1,300 proteins, roughly half novel and ~700 linking to human orthologs. Primary yeast two‑hybrid screens are retested and validated with a protein complementation assay in mammalian cells; measured false negatives explain sparse overlaps in literature maps. Corrected conservation estimates show ~40% Pombe–budding conservation and ~70% Pombe–human, while nearly half conserved links are functionally rewired at the interface.
