CrY2H-seq Library Screening: High-Throughput Protein Interaction Screening Using Cre-LoxP Technology
CrY2H-seq (Cre-LoxP Yeast Two-Hybrid Sequencing) is an advanced, high-throughput protein interaction screening technology based on the yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) library platform. Designed to enable large-scale protein-protein interaction discovery, CrY2H-seq utilizes the precision of Cre recombinase to target and recombine LoxP sequences, offering effective and high-accuracy interaction screening.
What is CrY2H-seq?
CrY2H-seq is a powerful screening method that leverages the Cre-LoxP system to detect protein-protein interactions within a yeast two-hybrid system. The Cre recombinase enzyme specifically recognizes LoxP sequences, catalyzing the recombination of DNA to identify interactions between proteins, enabling high-throughput, precise screening of protein interaction networks.
How CrY2H-seq Works
The fundamental steps in large-scale protein interaction screening using the Cre-LoxP system are as follows:
Construction of the Cre-LoxP Vector: A bidirectional fusion protein expression vector containing two library sequences to be screened and LoxP sequences is constructed.
Protein Interaction Screening: The Cre-LoxP vector is introduced into a yeast two-hybrid system. When two proteins interact, Cre recombinase will catalyze the recombination of LoxP sequences, generating a new DNA fragment.
Selection and Identification: Protein interactions are screened using yeast two-hybrid, followed by high-throughput sequencing and data analysis to identify interacting proteins.
This process allows the efficient identification of protein-protein interactions, providing valuable insights into protein functions and cellular networks.
Technical Advantages of CrY2H-seq
High-Throughput Screening: The Cre-LoxP system allows simultaneous detection of multiple protein interactions, significantly increasing screening efficiency.
High Accuracy: With its high specificity, the Cre-LoxP system provides more reliable and precise protein interaction data.
Broad Applicability: Compatible with various cell types and biological systems, enhancing its versatility across different research areas.
Integration with Third-Generation Sequencing: Combined with self-activation verification, CrY2H-seq improves the positive interaction rate, ensuring more accurate results.
