Confirmation of PPI strength using qRT-PCR. The qRT-PCR analysis quantified the expression of two reporter genes HIS3 and ADE2 for determining the strength of PPI for the selected yeast colonies (PPI-1, PPI-4, and PPI-5). These genes are under the control of Gal4-responsive promoters. The interaction between the bait and prey proteins allow the Gal4-responsive HIS3 and ADE2 genes to biosynthesis histidine and adenine for cell growth.
