Abstract

G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest group of cell-surface proteins and are major molecular targets for drug development. The protocol described herein is for the detection of human GPCR signaling in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Using Zoanthus sp. green fluorescent protein (ZsGreen) as the reporter, engineered yeast cells expressing human GPCRs emit strong fluorescence in response to stimuli leading to receptor signal activation. This assay method would allow screening for agonistic ligands and critical mutations required for human GPCR signaling.

Materials and Reagents

  1. Engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain in which the ZsGreen reporter genes were integrated into the genome (IMFD-72ZsD: MATa his3Δ1 leu2Δ0 met15Δ0 ura3Δ0 sst2Δ::AUR1-C ste2Δ::LEU2 fig1Δ::ZsGreen his3Δ::PFIG1-ZsGreen far1Δ gpa1Δ::Gi3tp) (Nakamura et al., 2013)
