Three-Hybrid Transcriptional Switch Model and Structures of Rapamycin Compounds.

A, The Gal4 DNA-binding domain is fused to FKBP and the Gal4 activation domain is fused to an FRB library. The fusion proteins are colocalized only in the presence of a rapamycin analog, reconstituting the transcription factor and activating expression of the reporter gene.

B, The molecular structures of rapamycin and its analogs with the FRB- and FKBP-binding regions highlighted. Me = methyl.
