Manipulating mRNA-binding protein Cth2 function in budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

ABSTRACT: Here, we present a protocol for modulating the function of the Cth2 mRNA-binding protein (RBP) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We describe steps to amplify and integrate mutations in Cth2 that affect its stability and function. Next, we detail the functional assay to verify the activity of the wild-type and mutant versions of Cth2 in yeast cells. This protocol can be adopted to modify the function of other RBPs with their respective functional mutations. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Patnaik et al. (2022).¹.
