pRS303 yeast shuttle vector, HIS3

Ampicillin resistance when grown in bacteria. This plasmid is not currently Biobrick compatible, but is useful for inserting a final construct into a yeast cell.

Useful for chromosomal integration of a device into yeast strains. This will insert the vector at the specific locus of the HIS3 gene. To be used in conjunction with histidine drop-out media for positive selection of transformed cells. Transformation using this vector requires linearization of the plasmid by cutting with PstI.

To incorporate a single Biobrick part into this vector for subsequent transformation into yeast, one should cut both vector and part with EcoRI and SpeI.

Alternatively, one can do the final ligation step between two Biobrick parts into this vector by cutting with the following:

Vector: EcoRI, Not I

Prefix: EcoRI, SpeI

Suffix: XbaI, NotI

Original Sikorski vector was described in R. S. Sikorski and P. Hieter, Genetics, 122: 19-27 (1989). [http://www.genetics.org/cgi/reprint/122/1/19.pdf| Original Paper]
