The ProNet™ Process

Just send us a clone or an EntrezGene accession number and we do the rest

Baiting strategy

Our protein interaction experts will recommend the optimal number of bait constructs for the protein of your choice
  • We recommend multiple baits for each protein, using small modular domains (100- 300 amino acids) for best search results

Bait Construction

We can amplify your bait from cDNA libraries or a furnished DNA template. Once the bait construct has been made:
  • It undergoes rigorous sequence verification
    • Correct reading frame with no mutations every time.
  • Bait construct auto-activation testing is done to eliminate possible false positive readings

Y2H screening

  • Our reporter system is based on 3 reporter genes with distinct promoter regions
    • ADE2 auxotrophic marker gene
    • HIS3 auxotrophic marker gene
    • Beta-GAL enzymatic marker gene
  • The odds of spuriously activating all 3 reporter genes is extremely low
  • Liquid mating against three or more libraries per bait and allows for searches testing 100 million possible interactions
  • Our standard ProNet package allows searches of three individual activation domain libraries of your choice, to ensure maximal interaction coverage

Your results

  • A concise data summary slide
  • An Excel spreadsheet of raw data
  • SIF formatted files for use in Cytoscape
