Figure Lengend Snippet: GAL4 based YTH experiments for interaction between poleroviral VPg/VPg + C‐term and Bv‐eIF4E. Bv‐eIF4E was fused to the binding domain (BD) and VPg/VPg + C‐term to the activation domain (AD) for PPI evaluation. Positive control: AD‐p53 with BD‐T; Negative control: AD‐p53 with BD‐Lam. Two plasmids containing AD and BD fusion proteins, respectively, were co‐transformed into yeast. To test for autoactivation, yeast strain Y2HGold was co‐transformed with the plasmids encoding the proteins of interest and the AD or BD plasmids lacking a fusion protein. Single colonies were resuspended in water and diluted 1 × 10 0 –1 × 10 −3 . Then, 5 μL of each dilution was spotted on control medium SD (‐W, ‐L) and interaction media SD (‐W, ‐L, ‐H) and SD (‐W, ‐L, ‐H, ‐Ade). Spotted yeast was incubated at 30 °C for 3 days (control medium) or 5 days (selection medium), respectively. Only 1 × 10 −2 dilution of spotted yeast is displayed. Expression of the fusion proteins was confirmed by Western blot analysis (Figure ).
