Embodiment 1
[0094] Example 1 - Interaction partners (IP's) of hairless proteins
[0095] This example uses the yeast two-hybrid technology to provide a hairless protein (HR) interacting partner (HR-IP). The HR cDNA corresponding to the C-terminal portion of the HR protein (amino acid residues 490 to 1182, hereinafter referred to as HRt) was cloned into a two-hybrid bait vector for expression of Lex A DNA BD-HRt in yeast. Yeast cells expressing BD-HRt were transformed with a human keratinocyte cDNA library established with an activation domain (AD) vector. Synthetic interaction partners provided by the present invention are listed in Table 1 and include molecules involved in cell cycle, cell differentiation, transcription, nuclear transport, signal transduction, cell integrity and mitochondrial apparatus. Thus, HRt (and HR) behave as well-connected, multifunctional proteins.

Embodiment 2
[0111] Example 2 - Screening for compounds that disrupt the BD-HRt>
[0112] AH109 was used for compound screening. AH109 (a component of the Matchmaker Two-Hybrid 3 (Cat. No. K1612-1) BD Biosciences Clontech, Palo Alto, CA) is a suitable Y2H interacting yeast reporter strain. It contains ADE2, HIS3, lacZ and MEL1 reporter genes, each using a different GAL4-responsive promoter. Various Y2H recombinant plasmids were transformed into yeast strain AH109 using a lithium acetate-mediated yeast transformation protocol provided by the supplier of the Y2H system (BD Biosciences Clontech, Palo Alto, CA). Transformed cells of the combined AD and BD plasmids were selected based on their ability to grow on Leu and Trp double depleted medium (DDO).
[0113] The interaction between the AD and BD fusion proteins (Y2H interaction) will bring the AD and BD domains of the GAL 4 protein closer to each other, thereby reconstituting a functional GAL 4 protein. ...

[0115] Example 3 - Screening for compounds that enhance or disrupt the BD-HRt>
[0116] Increase or decrease in α-galactosidase activity of AH109 (BD-HRt>
[0117] Microplates with TDO medium were seeded with freshly cultured yeast cells with an optical density of 0.05 at 650 nm (OD650), treated with various test compounds at 100 to 400 uM or with vehicle control (DMSO) the microplate. Stock solutions of test compounds at 10 to 20 mM were prepared in DMSO at final concentrations of 100 to 400 [mu]M when assayed. The final test mixture containing cells, TDO and compound (or DMSO alone) was adjusted to 100 ul and the amount of DMSO was kept at or below 2%. Plates were incubated at 25°C for 3 to 4 days without shaking. Plates were briefly agitated to obtain a homogeneous cell suspension prior to addition of assay buffer. Reporter gene enzyme (α-galactosidase) activity was...
