    Abstract: The present invention provides methods and compositions for interaction trap assays for detecting protein-protein, protein-DNA, or protein-RNA interactions. The methods and compositions of the invention may also be used to identify agents which may agonize or antagonize a protein-protein, protein-DNA, or protein-RNA interactions. In certain embodiments, the interaction trap system of the invention is useful for screening libraries with greater than 107 members. In other embodiments, the interaction trap system of the invention is used in conjunction with flow cytometry. The invention further provides a means for simultaneously screening a target protein or nucleic acid sequence for the ability to interact with two or more test proteins or nucleic acids.

    Abstract: This invention utilizes a two-hybrid system to screen for agents that modulate the ability of a cell to degrade or to accumulate a metabolic product or to selective kill a cell or to selectively express a gene or cDNA in a cell that has a defect in its ability to degrade or to accumulate a metabolic product. One embodiment provides a mammalian cell comprising a nucleic acid encoding a peptide binding domain and an effector gene; a first chimeric protein comprising a nucleic acid binding domain that binds the peptide binding domain attached to the metabolic product or to a ligand that binds to the metabolic product; and a second chimeric protein comprising an expression control protein attached to the metabolic product or to the ligand that binds to the metabolic product such that when the first chimeric protein comprises the metabolic product, the second chimeric protein comprises the ligand and when the first chimeric protein comprises the ligand, the second chimeric protein comprises the metabolic product. The cell is contacted with a test agent and in alteration of expression of the effector gene is detected (if present) where a change in expression of the effector gene in response to the test agent indicates that the test agent modulates the ability of the cell to accumulate or degrade the metabolic product.

    Abstract: The present invention is directed to isolated nucleic acids encoding Mint protein variants having enhanced abilities to modulate the transcriptional activation mediated by the cytoplasmic tail of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) relative to wild-type Mint proteins. The present invention is further directed toward purified Mint protein variants having enhanced abilities to modulate the transcriptional activation mediated by the cytoplasmic tail of APP relative to wild-type Mint proteins. The present invention also encompasses methods of modulating transcriptional activation and methods of identifying compounds that modulate transcriptional activation, and vectors, as well as transfected cells and kits useful for modulating transcriptional activation or for the identification of compounds that can modulate transcriptional activation. The present invention further encompasses transgenic knockout mice with little or no expression of Mint 1, Mint 2 or Mint 3 proteins. Such reagents may be useful as candidate therapeutics for Alzheimer's disease (AD), or as models for the rational design of drugs useful for the treatment of AD.
