Modified Yeast Two-Hybrid Assays

Modified yeast two-hybrid assays were performed as described (Bartel and Fields, 1997 ). Briefly, sygl-1 cDNA encoding wild-type, full-length SYGL-1 (aa 1-206), or full-length SYGL-1 carrying PIM mutations were cloned into the NcoI site in pACTII (Gal4 activation domain plasmid), generating pJK1580, pJK1581, pJK1582, pJK2094, pJK2095 and pJK2096 using the Gibson assembly method. The PUF repeat region of FBF-2 (aa 121-632) was cloned into the NdeI site in pBTMknDB (LexA-binding domain plasmid) to generate pJK2046. Activation and binding domain plasmids were co-transformed into the L40-ura strain using the Te-LiAc method (Gietz and Schiestl, 2007 (link)). lacZ reporter activity was assayed in defined media (SD) supplemented with -Leu-Trp using the Beta-Glow® Assay System following commercially available protocols (Promega, E4720). In short, yeast cultures were grown to mid-log phase, diluted to the same optical density (0.1), and added to equal volumes of Beta-Glow® reagent. Yeast clones were then incubated for 1 h at room temperature, and luminescence was quantitated using a Biotek Synergy 4 Hybrid plate reader and Gen5 software. A complete list of plasmids used in yeast two-hybrid assays is given in Table S3.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
