酵母RNA聚合酶ⅡRpb2和Rpb3两亚基间相互作用位点的定位

为研究S .pombeRNApolⅡ各亚基间体内装配成复合体的机制 ,本文首次用酵母双杂交系统鉴定了Rpb2和Rpb3两亚基间体内相互作用的位点。首先将Rpb2的 4个片段克隆至Gal4BD表达载体pAS2上 ,构建BD Rpb2片段融合蛋白重组质粒 ;同时将Rpb3克隆至Gal4AD表达载体pGADGH上 ,构建AD Rpb3融合蛋白重组质粒。其次 ,将pGADGHRpb3分别与pAS2Rpb2各片段重组质粒共转化到受体酵母菌Y1 90感受态细胞内 ,筛选并鉴定β gal活性阳性 (β gal+)的共转化子。最后 ,将β gal+共转化子中的Rpb2片段进行序列分析并进行同源序列比较确定其在Rpb2中的位置。结果表明 ,Rpb2与Rpb3相互作用的位点位于Rpb2的 90 2～ 989aa肽段内

Mapping the interaction site of Rpb2 and Rpb3 subunit of fission yeast RNA polymerase II]

To map the interacting site of subunit Rpb2 to subunit Rpb3 of RNA polymerase II in fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, the yeast two-hybrid system was employed in this paper to screen the interacting clones between Rpb2 and Rpb3.4 fragments of Rpb2 cDNA were cloned into the Ga14 BD vector pAS2. The 4 clones were named as pAS2 Rpb2-1, 2-2, 2-3 and 2-4, respectively. The complete cDNA of Rpb3 was cloned into the Gal 4 AD vector pGADGH. The clone was named as pGADGH Rpb3. The two-hybrid plasmids pGADGH Rpb3 and pAS2Rpb2-1, 2-2, 2-3 or 2-4 respectively were cotransformed into host cell yeast Y190. The interaction positive cotransformants were identified by beta-gal activity assay. The beta-gal positive cotransformants were selected from pGADGH Rpb3 and pAS2Rpb2-4 two-hybrid system. DNA sequencing and alignment results showed that the interacting site of Rpb2 to Rpb3 located within the fragment from base 2701 to 2966 of Rpb2 cDNA, or within the C-termini polypeptide from amino acid 902 to 989 of Rpb2 protein.
