Mate & Plate Libraries are by far the easiest libraries to screen for protein-protein interactions using a GAL4 yeast two-hybrid system. Several Mate & Plate Libraries are available ready-made from Takara Bio. For libraries that are not available, this system provides the necessary components and a simple, highly efficient method to make your own Mate & Plate Library using SMART technology and the highly efficient homologous recombination machinery of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Overview
Library construction occurs directly in yeast using SMART technology
No laborious cloning or library amplification steps
Library generation using n vivo recombination in S. cerevisiae. Mate & Plate Libraries are created via recombination between your cDNA and the Matchmaker prey vector pGADT7-Rec.
Library generation using in vivo recombination in S. cerevisiae. Mate & Plate Libraries are created via recombination between your cDNA and the Matchmaker prey vector pGADT7-Rec. The homologues are generated by SMART cDNA synthesis. Colonies are pooled, mixed, and aliquoted into multiple vials. Each single 1 ml vial can be used for a two-hybrid screen.
Mate & Plate libraries display broad insert representation. A human bone marrow library was made using the Make Your Own “Mate & Plate” Library System. Inserts from 15 randomly picked colonies were analyzed by yeast colony PCR using the Advantage 2 Polymerase Mix (Cat. No. 639201), and the Matchmaker AD LD-Insert Screening Amplimer Set (Cat. No. 630433). As seen in Lanes 1–15, every colony contained an insert of a different size. Lane M: 1 kb DNA ladder molecular weight marker.
