The mutual interactions of ER resident proteins in the ER maintain its functions, prompting the protein folding, modification, and transportation. Here, a new method, named YST-PPI (YESS-based Split fast TEV protease System for Protein-protein Interaction) was developed, targeting the characterization of protein interactions in ER. YST-PPI method integrated the YESS system, split-TEV technology and endoplasmic reticulum retention signal peptide (ERS) to provide an effective strategy for studying ER in situ PPIs in a fast and quantitative manner. The interactions among 15 ER resident proteins of S. cerevisiae were explored using the YST-PPI system, and their interaction network map was constructed, in which more than 74 interacting resident protein pairs were identified. Our studies also showed that Lhs1p plays a critical role in regulating the interactions of most of the ER resident proteins, expect the Sil1p, indicating its potential role in controlling the ER molecular chaperones. Moreover, the mutual interaction revealed by our studies further confirmed that the ER resident proteins perform their functions in a synergetic way and multimer complex might be formed during the process.
