Mycobacterium goes yeast: Target deconvolution of anti-tuberculosis drugs can be a very challenging task. Here we report a yeast 3-hybrid system that allows promising small molecules to be screened for protein targets of a pathogen in nontoxic yeast cells. The system employs libraries of randomly fragmented bacterial DNA and offers a technically simple alternative approach for target identification.
抗结核药物的靶标解析可能是一项极具挑战性的任务。在这里,我们报告了一个酵母三杂交系统,该系统允许在无毒的酵母细胞中筛选有前途的小分子,以鉴定病原体的蛋白质靶标。该系统使用随机片段化的细菌 DNA 文库,为靶标鉴定提供了一种技术简单的替代方法。
