Simply and reliably study protein-protein interactions
Dr. Bernhard Suter in the Stagljar Lab at the University of Toronto has created a system to examine protein-protein interactions and protein modifications using 6xHIS and VSV tagged haploid yeast strains. In the Yeast Cross and Capture System a “bait” MATa strain with a specific gene tagged with 6xHIS is mated with a “prey” MATalpha with a specific gene tagged with VSV to generate a diploid organism.1 The tagged protein and any interacting molecules can then be pulled down via the 6xHIS tag and the VSV can be detected on a western blot with an anti-VSV antibody.
- Over 200,000 crosses possible
- Amenable to high-throughput screens
- Reliable results

| Open Biosystems partners with leading academic laboratories to make clone resources that they develop available at a reasonable price. Many of these resources address the needs of specialized research communities not served by other vendors. To make this possible, we distribute these resources “as is” and without independently verifying the accuracy of data or performing QC. While errors by our source laboratories are generally infrequent, they inevitably occur and are not the responsibility of Open Biosystems. Click here for more information about Open Labs Products. |
Individual clones: Within
2–3 business days of receiving your order we will ship your clone at
room temperature via express delivery. Store the stock clone at –80°C.
Clones are provided as a live culture in a 2-ml tube. Each tube
contains YPD + G418 (200ug/ml) + 15% glycerol.
High volume orders: Orders
of greater than 50 clones will be provided in microtiter plates. These
will ship on dry ice via overnight delivery and should be stored at
–80°C immediately upon receipt.
Complete collection:
Orders for the entire collection are provided in 96-well
microtiter plates. These will ship on dry ice via overnight delivery
and should be stored at –80°C immediately upon receipt.
