Shuttle-Vector System for Saccharomyces cerevisiae Designed to Produce C-Terminal-Myc-Tagged Fusion Proteins

Shuttle-vector system for Saccharomyces cerevisiae designed to produce C-terminal-Myc-tagged fusion proteins.

New shuttle vector-based expression system to generate polyhistidine-tagged fusion proteins in Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.

Four Staphylococcus aureus-Escherichia coli shuttle vectors were constructed for gene expression and production of tagged fusion proteins. Vectors pBUS1-HC and pTSSCm have no promoter upstream of the multiple cloning site (MCS), and this allows study of genes under the control of their native promoters, and pBUS1-Pcap-HC and pTSSCm-Pcap contain the strong constitutive promoter of S. aureus type...

A system of shuttle vectors and yeast host strains designed for efficient manipulation of DNA in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

A series of yeast shuttle vectors and host strains has been created to allow more efficient manipulation of DNA in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Transplacement vectors were constructed and used to derive yeast strains containing nonreverting his3, trp1, leu2 and ura3 mutations. A set of YCp and YIp vectors (pRS series) was then made based on the backbone of the multipurpose plasmid pBLUESCRIPT. The...

Imaging green fluorescent protein fusion proteins in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Tagging expressed proteins with the green fluorescent protein (GFP) from Aequorea victoria [1] is a highly specific and sensitive technique for studying the intracellular dynamics of proteins and organelles. We have developed, as a probe, a fusion protein of the carboxyl terminus of dynein and GFP (dynein-GFP), which fluorescently labels the astral microtubules of the budding yeast Saccharomyce...

New shuttle vectors for direct cloning in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

We have constructed new shuttle vectors to facilitate the screening of recombinant plasmids after direct transformation of yeast cells. The vectors are pBluescript-based shuttle vectors in which the lacZ marker has been replaced by an analogous system based on the Saccharomyces cerevisiae URA3 gene. DNA fragments are inserted in a polylinker located after the beginning of the URA3 coding sequen...
