Protein-protein interactions control variety of biological phenomena including development, cell to cell interactions and metabolic processes. Thus the knowledge of an organism's protein interaction network provides insights into the functions of individual proteins, the structure of functional complexes, and eventually, the organization of the whole cell. With the development of biotechnology, the protein-protein interactions can be detected by plenty of experimental methods. However, among these methods, the yeast two-hybrid system (Y2H) is the most popular method to identify protein interaction in vivo.

Two-hybrid screening (originally known as yeast two-hybrid system or Y2H) was originally devised by Fields and Song as a protein interaction detection system in yeast. Subsequently, it has been employed in many laboratories as a means of screening cDNA and genomic fusion libraries for protein interaction partners. Creative Biogene's nuclear protein Y2H library screening service is developed base on this technology which can identify proteins that interact with a protein of your interest using your pre-made library or our custom-built Y2H library. In our service, a bait protein of your interest is fused to a Gal4 DNA-binding domain and the library of proteins of interest 'ORF' (prey) is fused to Gal4 transcriptional activation domain (AD). Cotransform the two plasmids expressing bait and prey fusion proteins in the same cell. If, proteins bait and prey interact in the cells, they reconstitute a transcription factor which activates a reporter gene (eg. HIS3) and therefore allows the cell to grow on selective synthetic media (media lacking histidine). Thus, we can finally obtain the 'ORFs' that interact with your interest protein.
