AIM: Human gene 5 transactivated by nonstructural protein 5A of hepatitis C virus (NS5ATP5) is a kind of protein with unknown function from the study with suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH). To investigate the biological function of NS5ATP5, we performed yeast-two hybrid to seek for proteins in leucocytes interacting with NS5ATP5.
METHODS: NS5ATP5 bait plasmid was constructed by ligating the gene of NS5ATP5 into pGBKT7, then transformed into yeast AH109 (a type), the transformed yeast mated with yeast Y187 (α type) containing leucocyte cDNA library plasmid in 2×YPDA medium. Diploid yeast was plated on synthetic dropout nutrient medium (SD/-Trp-Leu-His-Ade) containing x-α-gal for selection and screening. After extracting and sequencing of plasmids from blue colonies, we underwent sequence analysis by bioinformatics.
RESULTS: Ten colonies were sequenced. Among them, 8 colonies were genes with known functions and two colonies were new genes.
CONCLUSION: The preliminary successful cloning of gene of protein interacting with NS5ATP5 paves the way for studying the physiological function of NS5ATP5 and associated protein.
