Pipeline of the HT-Y2H experiment. (A) Retroviral ORFeome screened against Human ORFeome 3.1 in both configurations (DB-hORF AD-rvORF and DB-rvORF AD-hORF). Interactions found in the primary screen were subjected to homologous individual retest, where any human interactor of HTLV 1-2 protein was also retested for interaction with all homologous HTLV l and 2 proteins. An example of homologous group with Tax and Rex is shown. To guarantee high specificity, only interactions identified with at least two out of three reporter phenotypes were considered positive. (B) Venn diagram of the number of human proteins targeted by each virus.
