Abstract

Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are crucial for biological functions and have applications ranging from drug design to synthetic cell circuits. Coiled-coils have been used as a model to study the sequence determinants of specificity. However, building well-behaved sets of orthogonal pairs of coiled-coils remains challenging due to inaccurate predictions of orthogonality and difficulties in testing at scale. To address this, we develop the next-generation bacterial two-hybrid (NGB2H) method, which allows for the rapid exploration of interactions of programmed protein libraries in a quantitative and scalable way using next-generation sequencing readout. We design, build, and test large sets of orthogonal synthetic coiled-coils, assayed over 8,000 PPIs, and used the dataset to train a more accurate coiled-coil scoring algorithm (iCipa). After characterizing nearly 18,000 new PPIs, we identify to the best of our knowledge the largest set of orthogonal coiled-coils to date, with fifteen on-target interactions. Our approach provides a powerful tool for the design of orthogonal PPIs.
