Description:
|
Plasmid Yip356 is a useful vector for studying control of gene experssion in S. cerevisiae. The vector contains the E. coli lacZ gene, encoding beta-galactosidase. The lacZ gene lacks the promrter, operator, translation-initiation codon and the first eight codons. The plasmid harbors within the lacZ gene the polylinker regioin from M13mp18. DNA fragment containing a promoter and translation-initiation region can be inserted into these sites, to form fusion proteins, if the reading frames are properly aligned. The formation of beta-galactosidase fusion proteind in S. cerevisiae can be detected on solidified midium agar plates by addition to the medium of the colorimetric substrate X-gal. The vector can replicate in E. coli but not in S. cerevisiae.
