Yeast two-hybrid system for the detection of pVHL–substrate interactions. (a) Essential elements of the system. The BD-pVHL bait and AD-HIF1α prey fusions are expressed from the pBridge and pACT2 vectors under the control of the constitutive PADH1 promoter. The pBridge vector in addition allows for the expression of PHD1, 2 or 3 under the control of the PMET25 promoter, which is induced in the absence of methionine. The yeast reporter strain CG1945BC is a derivative of CG1945 expressing ELB and ELC under the control of the constitutive PPGK1 promoter from chromosome XV next to the ADE2 locus (19). (b) Schematic representation of reporter gene activation by the PHD-, ELB-, ELC-dependent interaction between BD-pVHL and AD-HIF1α. Pro, HO-Pro; unmodified and hydroxylated form, respectively, of PHD target prolyl residues.
