Yeast two hybrid screening of liver and WAT libraries

Yeast two hybrid screening of liver and WAT libraries

I may need 15 instead of 10 minutes.

Bait & prey ?

cDNA library inserted here

Library construction

• RNA reverse transcription

• PCR amplification of cDNA

• recombination of cDNA with pGADT7-rec vector

Library cDNA recombination in AH109 yeast

First screening

• Cotransformation of pAS2-1-PERK, cDNA and pGADT7-rec

• Media are deficient of Trp, Leu, Ade, His. ((But His is leaky.))

• AH109 yeast contains mutations in TRP1, LEU2, ADE2 and HIS3.

• AH109 has four reporters—ADE2/HIS3/MEL1/lacZ controlled by GAL4.

Re-streak to separate different plasmids

Big clones were picked and streaked 2-3 times on –Ade/-His/-Trp/-Leu media plus 2.5mM 3-AT.

The 4th streak was done on –Ade/-His/-Trp/-Leu media plus 7.5mM 3-AT.

PCR identification of clones

250 Yeast plasmids were amplified with PCR and sequenced

Liver clones

What’s next ?

Cotransformation of the postive PCR product back to AH109.

GST pulldown ?

Co-IP ?

Any one passes all the requirement will be further characterized in vivo.
