Abstract excerpt
To test RNA-RNA interactions in cells, we developed a yeast RNA hybrid system derived from the yeast three-hybrid system. In this setup, the activation of a reporter gene (HIS3 or lacZ) is dependent on the interaction of two RNAs. One ('RNA X') is fused to MS2 RNA, forming the bait, which binds to a fusion protein composed of the MS2 coat and the LexA proteins. The second ('RNA Y') is fused to an RNA-based...
