TLDR
Interaction mating is described, a two-hybrid variation that can be adapted to most versions of the system and that can simplify and facilitate most two- Hybrid experiments.
Abstract
Publisher Summary The yeast two-hybrid system is a powerful assay for protein–protein interactions. The two proteins to be tested for interaction are expressed as hybrids in the nucleus of a yeast cell. One of the proteins is fused to the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-binding domain (DBD) of a transcription factor and the other is fused to a transcription activation domain (AD). If the two hybrid proteins interact, they reconstitute a functional transcription factor that activates one or more reporter genes that contain binding sites for the DBD. This simple assay has been widely used to identify new interacting proteins from libraries, to test interactions between small and large sets of proteins, to map protein networks, and to address the functions of individual proteins and protein interactions. This chapter describes interaction mating, a two-hybrid variation that can be adapted to most versions of the system and that can simplify and facilitate most two-hybrid experiments.

Role of SCF ubiquitin-ligase and the COP9 signalosome in the N gene-mediated resistance response to Tobacco mosaic virus.

TL;DR: It is shown that the NbRar1 protein interacts with NbSGT1, a highly conserved component of the SCF (Skp1/Cullin/F-box protein)-type E3 ubiquitin ligase complex involved in protein degradation.

Multi-chain eukaryotic display vectors and uses thereof

TL;DR: In this article, a eukaryotic expression vector capable of displaying a multi-chain polypeptide on the surface of a host cell is provided, such that the biological activity of the multi-chains polypeptic is exhibited at the surface surface of the host cell.

Identification of New Protein Interactions between Dengue Fever Virus and Its Hosts, Human and Mosquito

TL;DR: High-throughput yeast two-hybrid screening is used to identify mosquito and human proteins that physically interact with dengue proteins and identified a subset of the host-dengue interactions that are now supported by multiple forms of evidence, which should be useful for understanding the interplay between d Dengue and its hosts.

A novel genetic system to detect protein-protein interactions.

TL;DR: A novel genetic system to study protein-protein interactions between two proteins by taking advantage of the properties of the GAL4 protein of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which may be applicable as a general method to identify proteins that interact with a known protein by the use of a simple galactose selection.

High efficiency transformation of intact yeast cells using single stranded nucleic acids as a carrier.

TL;DR: A method, using LiAc to yield competent cells, is described that increased the efficiency of genetic transformation of intact cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to more than 1 × 105 transformant per microgram of vector DNA and to 1.5% transformants per viable cell.

Mammalian Ras interacts directly with the serine/threonine kinase Raf

TL;DR: Raf interacts with wild-type and activated Ras, but not with an effector domain mutant of Ras or with a dominant-interfering Ras mutant, and this interaction is dependent on GTP bound to Ras.

Cdi1, a human G1 and S phase protein phosphatase that associates with Cdk2

TL;DR: The interaction trap is used to identify Cdi1 as a novel type of protein phosphatase that forms complexes with cyclin-dependent kinases and delays progression through the cell cycle in yeast and HeLa cells.

Randomization of genes by PCR mutagenesis.

TL;DR: A modified polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was developed to introduce random point mutations into cloned genes and was used to mutagenize the gene that encodes the Tetrahymena ribozyme with a mutation rate of 0.66% +/- 0.13% per position per PCR.
