Use of the two-hybrid system to identify Rab-interacting proteins

Methods. 2000 Apr;20(4):399-402. doi: 10.1006/meth.2000.0952.

Abstract

The yeast two-hybrid system has been useful for identifying many partners and effectors of small GTPases of the Rab family. We describe here such a screen using Rab6, a protein involved in the regulation of intracellular transport at the level of the Golgi apparatus, as bait.
