Yeast Two-hybrid Vectors
pGBKT7 yeast two-hybrid bait vector
pGBKT7 is a yeast two-hybrid bait expression vector that is designed to express a fusion protein of the GAL4 DNA-binding domain (DNA-BD; amino acids 1–147) and a bait protein. The fusion protein is expressed at high levels from the ADH1 promoter. The fusion protein also contains a c-Myc epitope tag. To facilitate in vitro transcription/translation, pGBKT7 includes the T7 promoter between the GAL4 DNA-BD and the epitope tag.
pGADT7 yeast two-hybrid prey vector
pGADT7 AD is a yeast two-hybrid expression vector that is designed to express a fusion protein between the GAL4 activation domain (AD; amino acids 768–881) and a protein of interest. The fusion protein is expressed at high levels from the full-length ADH1 promoter. The fusion protein also contains a hemagglutinin (HA) epitope tag. To facilitate in vitro transcription/translation, pGADT7 AD includes the T7 promoter between the GAL4 AD and the epitope tag.
pBridge three-hybrid bait vector
The pBridge Vector allows you to investigate tertiary protein complexes with any GAL4-based two-hybrid system. pBridge may be used instead of pGBKT7 in the Matchmaker Gold System. With its two distinct multiple cloning sites, pBridge allows expression of a DNA-BD fusion protein and another distinct protein that acts as the "bridge" between the bait and prey (Tirode et al 1997; Brachmann and Boeke 1997).
