METHODS： We constructed F protein bait plasmid by cloning the gene of F protein into pGBKT7, then recombinant plasmid DNA was transformed into yeast AH109 （a type）. The transformed yeast AH109 was mated with yeast Y187 （α type） containing liver cDNA library plasmid in 2×YPDA medium. Diploid yeast was plated on synthetic dropout nutrient medium （SD/-Trp-Leu-HisAde） containing X-α-gal for selection and screening. After extracting and sequencing plasmids from positive （blue） colonies, we underwent sequence analysis by bioinformatics. RESULTS： Thirty-six colonies were selected and sequenced. Among them, 11 colonies were zymogen granule protein, 5 colonies were zinc finger protein, 4 colonies were zinc-α-2-glycoprotein, 1 colony was sialyltransferase, 1 colony was complement control protein factor I, 1 colony was vitronectin, and 2 colonies were new genes with unknown function. CONCLUSION： The yeast two-hybrid system is an effective method for identifying hepatocyte proteins interacting with F protein of hepatitis C virus. F protein may bind to different proteins. 2005 The WJG Press and Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved展开更多
