Generating Yeast One-Hybrid DNA-Bait Strains. 2018

John S Reece-Hoyes, and Albertha J M Walhout

Generating DNA-bait strains for gateway-compatible yeast one-hybrid (Y1H) screens involves three steps. The first is to generate an Entry clone containing the DNA-bait of interest. Gateway cloning is used to clone larger baits, such as promoters, into pDONR-P4-P1R. (An alternative set of steps is also presented in this protocol that describes the creation of Entry clones by annealing primers and performing conventional ligation into pMW#5-a strategy best suited for smaller DNA-baits up to 100 bp.) The second is to transfer this DNA-bait from the Entry clone to the two Y1H reporter Destination vectors, pMW#2 (HIS3) and pMW#3 (LacZ). A two-step process is used because Entry clones generate a versatile resource that can be used for transfer of DNA-baits into a variety of vectors, for instance, upstream of the green fluorescent protein-encoding ORF to study spatiotemporal expression patterns. The final step is to integrate the HIS3 and LacZ reporter constructs into the genome of the Y1H yeast strain, YM4271. The entire process takes 24-32 d, plus sequence confirmation if necessary.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D003001	Cloning, Molecular	The insertion of recombinant DNA molecules from prokaryotic and/or eukaryotic sources into a replicating vehicle, such as a plasmid or virus vector, and the introduction of the resultant hybrid molecules into recipient cells without altering the viability of those cells.	Molecular Cloning
D004271	DNA, Fungal	Deoxyribonucleic acid that makes up the genetic material of fungi.	Fungal DNA
D015003	Yeasts	A general term for single-celled rounded fungi that reproduce by budding. Brewers' and bakers' yeasts are SACCHAROMYCES CEREVISIAE; therapeutic dried yeast is YEAST, DRIED.	Yeast
D016133	Polymerase Chain Reaction	In vitro method for producing large amounts of specific DNA or RNA fragments of defined length and sequence from small amounts of short oligonucleotide flanking sequences (primers). The essential steps include thermal denaturation of the double-stranded target molecules, annealing of the primers to their complementary sequences, and extension of the annealed primers by enzymatic synthesis with DNA polymerase. The reaction is efficient, specific, and extremely sensitive. Uses for the reaction include disease diagnosis, detection of difficult-to-isolate pathogens, mutation analysis, genetic testing, DNA sequencing, and analyzing evolutionary relationships.

D017931	DNA Primers	Short sequences (generally about 10 base pairs) of DNA that are complementary to sequences of messenger RNA and allow reverse transcriptases to start copying the adjacent sequences of mRNA. Primers are used extensively in genetic and molecular biology techniques.

D020798	Two-Hybrid System Techniques	Screening techniques first developed in yeast to identify genes encoding interacting proteins. Variations are used to evaluate interplay between proteins and other molecules. Two-hybrid techniques refer to analysis for protein-protein interactions, one-hybrid for DNA-protein interactions, three-hybrid interactions for RNA-protein interactions or ligand-based interactions. Reverse n-hybrid techniques refer to analysis for mutations or other small molecules that dissociate known interactions.
