Abstract
In this chapter, we present methods for adapting the eukaryotic cell-free expression system based on Leishmania tarentolae to high-throughput analysis of protein interactions. Specifically, we present a lysate optimization technique that minimizes the amount of unwanted premature termination products while balancing protein expression level and protein aggregation. Finally, we present methods for adapting the Leishmania cell-free system to the AlphaLISA-based protein interaction assay.
