Complete kit for confirming a known protein-protein interaction using two-hybrid technology in mammalian cell culture. Protein-protein interaction is assayed by measuring SEAP gene expression. No lysis is required.
Overview
Fast, convenient analysis of protein-protein interactions in mammalian cells
SEAP secreted reporter eliminates the need for cell lysis
Biologically relevant results are more likely in a mammalian system
Applications
Confirm protein-protein interactions in mammalian cells
The mammalian two-hybrid principle. The bait protein is fused to the DNA binding domain from GAL4 and the prey protein is fused the transcriptional activation domain of VP16. If the two proteins interact at the PGAL4-E1b promoter (GAL promoter), SEAP is secreted into the growth medium.
Chemiluminescent detection of protein-protein interactions
Chemiluminescent detection of protein-protein interactions. The bait vector pM-53 expresses p53 fused to the GAL4 DNA-binding domain. When HEK 293 cells were cotransfected with this bait together with the SV40 large T antigen prey vector, pVP16-T, strong expression of SEAP was detected because large T antigen interacts with p53. The CP protein, which does not interact strongly with p53, was used as a negative control.
