The assay of direct interaction between hZwint-1 and hZW10 deletion constructs analyzed with the LexA yeast two-hybrid system using Xgal and the β-galactosidase assay, as well as kinetochore localization, through fluorescence microscopy analysis of EGFP fusion constructs. Yeast colonies were scored for appearance of blue color 2 and 3 d after streaking out. Each combination of interactions was redone in three separate experiments and confirmed for expression of fusion constructs by Western blotting with anti-HA and anti-LexA antibodies (not depicted). The β-galactosidase assay was performed using the β-galactosidase assay kit according to the manufacturer's instructions.
