Backgournd
The nat gene was first isolated from Streptomyces noursei[1]. This gene provides the organism with resistance to the antibiotic nourseothricin. In 1999, Goldstein and McCusker produced a nat cassette based on the kanMX cassettes of plasmid pFA6 and showed that this new cassette confers resistance to the above mentioned drug in S. cerevisiae strain YAG44[2]. We have BioBricked the complete cassette (including the upstream TEF1 promoter and the downstream TEF1 terminator) and have shown that it has 100% selectivity in S. cerevisiae YPH500 strain.
