Yeast One-hybrid Assay (Y1H)

Yeast one-hybrid (Y1H) library technology was developed based on the study of the yeast transcription factor GAL4. It is primarily used to investigate the interactions between known DNA and proteins, as well as the interactions between cis-acting elements or truncated DNA binding sites of target genes and proteins. This allows for the study of the molecular mechanisms regulating gene expression in eukaryotic cells.

Description

Technical principle:

 

Transcription factors typically consist of a DNA-binding domain (BD) that specifically binds to DNA and one or more activation domains (AD) that interact with other regulatory proteins. In the yeast one-hybrid system, a typical transcription factor is the yeast GAL4 protein. The BD of GAL4 is near the carboxyl terminus and can activate the upstream activation site (UAS) of yeast galactosidase, while the AD can interact with RNA polymerase or transcription factors (TF), enhancing the activity of RNA polymerase. BD and AD can function entirely independently, allowing the BD of GAL4 to be replaced by genes encoding library proteins. As long as the expressed protein can interact with the target gene, the AD will similarly activate RNA polymerase, initiating the transcription of downstream reporter genes.
