Yeast/Bacterial Two-Hybrid Service

Introduction

Yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) is a technique that uses genetics to analyze the interaction between proteins. In yeast, the DNA-binding domain (DNA-BD) and the activation domain (AD) alone cannot activate the transcription, and the two are sufficiently close in space to enable transcription of genes downstream of the promoter. Since the establishment of this method, after continuous improvement and development, it can not only detect the interaction between known proteins but also can be used to discover new unknown proteins that interact with known proteins.

The bacterial two-hybrid system (B2H) utilizes the characteristics that the calmodulin-dependent adenylate cyclase activation region of Bordetella pertussis can be divided into two relatively independent functional fragments, T18 and T25. When these two fragments are expressed independently in Escherichia coli BTH101 (cya-), they cannot recognize and interact with each other. These two functional regions are fused and expressed with a pair of interactable proteins, they can form a functional adenylate cyclase that complements the E. coli cya strain and increase the β-galactosidase activity of the strain.
