Basic Vector Information
pHIS2 is a reporter vector that can be used in yeast one-hybrid assays to identify and characterize DNA-binding proteins. The vector was specifically designed for use with the BD Matchmaker One- Hybrid Library Construction & Screening Kit (#K1617-1). It contains a HIS3 nutritional reporter gene, located downstream of a multiple cloning site (MCS) and the minimal promoter of the HIS3 locus (PminHIS3). Cis-acting DNA sequences, or DNA target elements, can be inserted into the MCS and used as baits to screen GAL4 AD/cDNA fusion libraries for proteins that interact with the target sequence. A protein-DNA (or one-hybrid) interaction can be detected by performing the assay in a yeast strain such as Y187 that is auxotrophic for histidine. Positive one-hybrid interactions drive expression of the HIS3 reporter gene, which enables the host cell to grow on histidine-deficient media.In the absence of activation, the constitutive HIS3 expression from PminHIS3 is very low. During library screening, the leaky expression of HIS3 is controlled by adding 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole (3-AT) to the medium. The concentration of 3-AT needed to fully suppress leaky HIS3 expression must be determined empirically for each DNA target element.pHIS2 can be maintained in both yeast and bacteria. It contains an autonomous replication sequence (ARS4) and TRP1 nutritional marker for replication and selection in yeast (1, 2); it contains a Col E1 origin and a kanamycin resistance gene (Kanr) for propagation and selection in E. coli. The centromeric sequence CEN6 ensures proper segregation of the plasmid during cell division in yeast (1, 2).To use pHIS2 in a one-hybrid assay, clone one or more copies of a cis-acting DNA target sequence into the MCS. Then introduce the plasmid into competent yeast cells using the transformation protocol in the BD Matchmaker Library Construction & Screening Kits User Manual (PT3529-1). In contrast to the original BD Matchmaker One- Hybrid System, this reporter vector does not need to be integrated into the yeast genome. Instead, it is maintained as an episome throughout the assay. Inserting your target element may alter the level of background HIS3 expression. Therefore, constructs should be tested for background (leaky) HIS3 expression before you start a one-hybrid analysis. Background growth due to leaky HIS3 expression is controlled by adding 3-AT to the selection medium, as described in the User Manual (PT3529-1).

Plasmid Protocol
1. Centrifuge at 5,000×g for 5 min.
2. Carefully open the tube and add 20 μl of sterile water to dissolve the DNA.
3. Close the tube and incubate for 10 minutes at room temperature.
4. Briefly vortex the tube and then do a quick spin to concentrate the liquid at the bottom. Speed is less than 5000×g.
5. Store the plasmid at -20 ℃.
6. The concentration of plasmid re-measurement sometimes differs from the nominal value, which may be due to the position of the lyophilized plasmid in the tube, the efficiency of the re-dissolution, the measurement bias, and adsorption on the wall of the tube, therefore, it is recommended to transform and extract the plasmid before using it
General Plasmid Transform Protocol
1. Take one 100μl of the competent cells and thaw it on ice for 10min, add 2μl of plasmid, then ice bath for 30min, then heat-shock it at 42℃ for 60s, do not stir, and then ice bath for 2min.
2. Add 900μl of LB liquid medium without antibiotics, and incubate at 37℃ for 45min (30℃ for 1-1.5 hours) with 180rpm shaking.
3. Centrifuge at 6000rpm for 5min, leave only 100μl of supernatant to resuspend the bacterial precipitate and spread it onto the target plasmid-resistant LB plate.
4. Invert the plate and incubate at 37℃ for 14h, or at 30℃ for 20h.
5. Pick a single colony into LB liquid medium, add the corresponding antibiotics, incubate at 220rpm for 14h, and extract the plasmid according to the experimental needs and the instructions of the plasmid extraction kit.
