Fig. 1. Schematic of the pDEST-GADT7 and pDEST-GBKT7 expression cassettes. The Gateway cassette [composed of the recombination sites attR1 and attR2, the chloramphenicol resistance gene (CmR) and the ccdB gene] was inserted into the SmaI site of the yeast two-hybrid vectors pGADT7 and pGBKT7. LR recombination with the target gene replaces the region between the attR1 and attR2 recombination sites to create in-frame fusions with either the GAL4 activation domain (GAL4 AD) fused to the HA-tag in the case of pDEST-GADT7 or the GAL4 binding domain (GAL4 BD) fused to the c-Myc tag for pDEST-GBKT7. The promoter from ADH1 (PADH1) and the ADH1 terminator (TADH1) were used to control the expression of the gene fusion in yeast, and the T7 promoter (PT7) was used for in vitro expression. Nucleic acid sequence and predicted amino acid sequence of the junctions between the original yeast two-hybrid vectors and the gateway cassette are given below each vector.
