Plasmid_Backbone

Part:BBa_K635002

Designed by: Arjun Athreya   Group: iGEM11_Virginia   (2011-09-27)

Artificial Yeast Chromosome (Ura3 & Amp)

This part serves as a foundational contribution to expand the registry of yeast components. It is an easy to use artificial yeast chromosome with an auxitrophic uracil selection method for yeast expression, as well as an ampicillin selection for propagation in E.coli. The part was modified for biobrick compatibility from a working pRS316 plasmid containing a Gal1/10 bidirectional promoter which was removed through restriction digest. In addition to the biobrick prefix and suffix, the backbone contains Kpn1 and Sac1 restriction sites the flank the prefix and suffix respectively.

Yeast transformants can be selected by using a uracil drop out medium and E.coli transformants may be selected using ampicillin resistance.

S. cerevisiae (left) Colonies shown are successful yeast transformants using our backbone and BBa_J04450 (which cannot be be expressed as assembled in yeast).  Colonies were selected using a medium lacking uracil.  


E. coli (right) Red transformants indicate successful assembly of the backbone with the registry part BBa_J04450, which contains an RFP reporter protein.  The bacterial colonies were selected using ampicillin resistance and screened using the RFP reporter.
