The Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain Y2HGold is designed for use with Takara Bio's Matchmaker Gold Yeast Two-Hybrid System. Y2HGold includes the sensitive Aureobasidin A antibiotic resistance gene as one of four reporters—providing exceptionally stringent yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) screening. This strain contains distinct ADE2, HIS3, MEL1, and AUR1-C reporter constructs that are only expressed in the presence of GAL4-based protein interactions. Y2HGold is extremely effective in minimizing false positive protein interactions and background during a typical GAL4-based two-hybrid screen.
