- Identifying interacting proteins aids in understanding protein function and mapping interactomes.
- Protein interaction mapping is a key functional genomics technique.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe protocols for dissecting the rice MAPK interactome.
- To identify proteins interacting with a specific rice MAPK.
- To characterize novel interacting proteins.
Main Methods:
- Yeast two-hybrid system for detecting novel protein-protein interactions.
- Bait protein auto-activation test.
- Retransformation assay for interaction confirmation.
Main Results:
