+, interaction is present, as evidenced by the growth of blue colonies in the presence of X-Gal on medium without leucine, tryptophan, histidine, and adenine. The number of plus symbols indicates the level of activity in the β-galactosidase assay of replicated colonies. −, no growth and no interaction; ND, not done.
