Saccharomyces cerevisae strain:

• 23344C :ura3

Plasmid:

pCP20:

pCP20 has the Flp recombinase gene repressed by CI857ts which is not functional at a temperature higher or equal to 42°C

pFL44S :

pFL44S is a shuttle plasmid between yeast and bacteria. It has the ampicillin resistance gene and the bacterial origin of replication colE1. For selection in yeast it has the ura3 gene. It has also the 2micron yeast origin of replication.

pKD46:

pKD46 expresses the Red system under control of the well-regulated promoter pBAD (induced by arabinose and repressed by glucose). The replication origin of the plasmid is also thermo sensitive. It is not replicated at a temperature higher or equal to 42°C.

pSB1A3:

pSB1A3 is one of the standard iGEM plasmid which has a resistance gene to ampicillin. It is composed of four unique restriction sites:

• EcoRI (prefix)
• XbaI (prefix)
• SpeI (suffix)
• PstI (suffix)

PCR Topo® XL plasmid (Invitrogen):

This plasmid is used in the Topo® XL PCR Cloning Kit. For the cloning the plasmid is linearized and topoisomerase l is activated. The vector includes the following features:

• ccdB gene for positive selection
• Kanamycin and Zeocin™ resistance genes
• EcoRI sites flanking the PCR product insertion site for easy excision of inserts
• M13 forward and reverse primer sites for sequencing

Primers:

The following primers were produced by Sigma-Aldrich (option desalt)
