Product Overview
The Yeast Two-Hybrid (Membrane System) Vector Kit provides a comprehensive solution for membrane protein library screening and one-to-one verification of protein interactions. It includes the NMY51 yeast strain (MATa type), three Bait plasmids (pBT3-STE, pBT3-SUC, and pBT3-N), and the Prey plasmid pPR3-N. Positive control plasmid combinations (pBT3-STE-OsPT2 + pPR3-N-OsPP95) and a negative control (Bait plasmid + pPR3-N) are also included to ensure reliable results.

Self-prepared Materials
1. Sterile PCR tubes, tips, centrifuge tubes, shakers, incubators, and reagents like 50% PEG3350, 1M LiAc, X-α-Gal, and 3-AT.
2. (Optional from Pronetbio) Yeast media (YPDA, SD-Trp, SD-Trp/-Leu/-His), yeast plasmid extraction kits, and positive clone amplification kits.
Precautions
1. To ensure strain viability, streak the strain onto a YPDA agar plate before liquid culturing.
2. Store strains at -80°C with 50% glycerol to prevent repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
3. This product is for research use only and not for clinical, diagnostic, or therapeutic applications.
4. Maintain sterile conditions to avoid contamination.
FAQs
What is the difference between X-α-Gal and X-Gal?
X-Gal is the substrate for β-galactosidase, producing a blue product. X-α-Gal is the substrate for yeast α-galactosidase (MEL1) used for blue-white screening in yeast two-hybrid systems. They are not interchangeable.
Why use 3-AT to suppress self-activation?
3-AT is a competitive inhibitor of histidine synthesis, reducing HIS3 background expression and suppressing weak self-activation.
Why do yeast colonies turn red?
Red colonies result from adenine biosynthesis defects. Accumulation of intermediates like AIR causes red pigmentation. This is not contamination.
Why might screened proteins localize to various organelles?
Yeast two-hybrid detects direct interactions independent of protein localization. Positive interactions could involve proteins from membranes, nuclei, mitochondria, or other organelles.
Do membrane system screenings always yield membrane proteins?
No. Interacting proteins may localize differently, as the assay measures physical proximity and interaction rather than subcellular localization.
