Applications of BBa_K2220024

We ligated this part to shuttle plasmid pYES2/CT/α-factor(pYCα) and did the colony PCR to verify the efficiency(Fig.1). Meanwhile, the sequencing results further confirmed that we successfully cloned the expression vectors.

We successfully transfected the correct carrier into S.cerevisiae INVSc1 and induced expression.

To get more definitive results, we observed samples with High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM). The following two images are polymerized microtubules observed in the system containing secreted mCherry-α-tubulin and β-tubulin. Several microtubules can be seen on these images.
