GAL-LexA

pGAL1 + LexA activator on pRS305

Induced by galactose, this activator, tagged with mCherryx2, activates promoters with LexA binding sites.

In a strain into which we transformed the LexA activator and LexA activator reporter, we found this part to be functional. After growing in 2% galactose/2%raffinose, under the confocal fluorescence microscope we saw mCherry expression in the nucleus (on the activating transcription factor), and its effect of inducing YFP expression in the cytosol from the activator reporter.
