Abstract

Il est projeté de fournir une méthode de détection d’un complexe protéique, où la formation d’un complexe d’un facteur transcriptionnel ou d’une protéine capable de se lier à un facteur transcriptionnel avec une autre protéine peut être détecté, et une trousse pour détecter un complexe protéique. Dans un système de synthèse protéique où une protéine peut être produite par expression génétique, une protéine chimérique (10) comprenant un DBD (12) et une protéine X (11) qui lui est liée et une autre protéine chimérique (20a) comprenant un peptide fonctionnel (22), qui convertit un facteur transcriptionnel arbitraire en un répresseur transcriptionnel, liée à une protéine Y (21), sont produites. Dans le cas où la protéine X (11) et la protéine Y (21) forment ensemble un complexe, un complexe (40) est ainsi formé. Ce complexe (40) refoule la transcription d’un gène rapporteur (31) en raison de l’effet répressif transcriptionnel du peptide fonctionnel (22). En confirmant cette répression transcriptionnelle, la formation du complexe protéique par la protéine X (11) et la protéine Y (21) est détectée.
