title: MAPPIT: a protein interaction toolbox built on insights in cytokine receptor signaling.
abstract: MAPPIT (mammalian protein-protein interaction trap) is a two-hybrid interaction mapping technique based on functional complementation of a type I cytokine receptor signaling pathway. Over the last decade, the technology has been extended into a platform of complementary assays for the detection of interactions among proteins and between chemical compounds and proteins, and for the identification of small molecules that interfere with protein-protein interactions. Additionally, several screening approaches have been developed to broaden the utility of the platform. In this review we provide an overview of the different components of the MAPPIT toolbox and highlight a number of applications in interactomics, drug screening and compound target profiling.
