酵母双杂交原理与实验具体流程

galactosidase. MEL1 is endogenous to both Y187 and AH109. Because αgalactosidase is a secreted enzyme, its activity can be detected by adding X-α-Gal to the selection plate: If MEL1 is active and X-α-Gal is present, the colony will turn blue. lacZ in Y187 exhibits a high level of induced β-galactosidase activity in a poAD通过这个“桥 梁”共同起作用，激活报告基 因（ADE2、HIS3 、 lacZ和 MEL1）的转录。
推荐使用Clontech公司的第三 代载体，pGADT7-Rec 和 pGBKT7进行双杂交筛选，因 为它们产生更少的假阳性。对 于cDNATA regions can be switched to create novel promoters
For GAL4-based systems, either a native GAL UAS or a synthetic UASG 17-mer consensus sequence (Heslot & Gaillardin, 1992) provides the binding site for the GAL4 DNA-BD. If you are putting together your own one- or two-hybrid system, you must make sure that the reporter gene's promoter will be recognized by the DNA-BD moiety encoded in your DNA-BD fusion vector.

UAS and TATA regions are basic building blocks of yeast promoters
The initiation of gene transcription in yeast, as in other organisms, is achieved by several molecular mechanisms working in concert. All yeast structural genes (i.e., those transcribed by RNA polymerase II) are preceded by a region containing a loosely conserved sequence (TATA box) that determines the transcription start site and is also a primary determinant of the basal transcription level. Many genes are also associated with cis-acting elements—DNA sequences to which transcription factors and other trans-acting regulatory proteins that bind and affect transcription levels.

Reporter genes under the control of a minimal HIS3 promoter
The HIS3 reporter gene in yeast strain Y190 is unusual among the GAL4 two-hybrid reporter gene constructs in that it is under the control of the GAL1 UAS and a minimal promoter containing both HIS3 TATA boxes The HIS3 reporter plasmids pHISi and pHISi-1 used in the
Reporter genes under the control of GAL4-responsive elements
AH109 contains four reporters—ADE2, HIS3, MEL1, and lacZ—under the control of three distinct GAL4 upstream activating sequences (UASs) and TATA boxes . The ADE2 reporter alone provides strong nutritional selection. For higher stringency, and to reduce the incidence of false positives, select for ADE2 and HIS3 (James et al., 1996). You also have the option of assaying for MEL1, which encodes α-
图2romoters and other cis-acting regulatory elements play a crucial role in yeast-based expression systems and transcriptional assays such as the MATCHMAKER One- and Two-Hybrid Systems. Differences in the promoter region of reporter gene constructs can significantly affect their ability to respond to the DNA-binding domain of specific transcriptional activators; promoter constructs also affect the level of background (or leakiness) of gene expression and the level of induced expression. Furthermore, differences in cloning vector promoters determine the level of protein expression and, in some cases, confer the ability to be regulated by a nutrient (such as g al actose in the case of the G AL 1p romoter) .
MATCHMAKER One Hybrid System also have both of the HIS3 TATA
boxes present in the minimal promoter. By inserting a cis-acting element in the MCS, the regulated TATA box (TR) can be affected, but there is still a significant amount of constitutive, leaky expression due

The term “promoter” usually refers to both the TATA box and the associated cis-regulatory elements. This usage is especially common when speaking of yeast gene regulation because the cis regulatory elements are relatively closely associated with the TATA box (Yoccum, 1987). This is in contrast to multicellular eukaryotes, where cisregulatory elements (such as enhancers) can be found very far upstream or downstream from the promoters they regulate. In this text, "minimal promoter" will refer specifically to the TATA region, exclusive of other cis-acting elements. The minimal promoter (or TATA box) in yeast is typically approximately 25 bp upstream of the transcription start site. Yeast TATA boxes are functionally similar to prokaryotic Pribnow boxes, but are not as tightly conserved. Furthermore, some yeast transcription units are preceded by more than one TATA box. The yeast HIS3 gene, for example, is preceded by two different TATA boxes: TR, which is regulated, and TC, which is constitutive.
