pYES2 - galactose-inducible expression vector for yeast

Galactose-inducible pYES2 vector for S. cerevisiae. Includes a multiple cloning site for gene insertion. See manufacturer's website for further information (http://products.invitrogen.com/ivgn/product/V82520?CID=AFLBC-Invitrogen). Note that this vector is sold by Invitrogen.

To get an overview of the growth of S. cerevisiae CENPK2-1D cells we compared the growth of the yeast cells carrying the empty vector in the not induced and the induced conditions. We used the growth profiler GP960 (EnzyScreen, Heemstede, The Netherlands), which is a temperature controlled shaker for microtiterplates with a scanner for growth detection. We incubated in square 24-deepwell plates with 1 ml of culture per well with a start OD of 1.

To get comparable data we adjusted all the start green values to 0, as they had the same OD and made a mean of the multiple parallel measurements to minimize the deviation errors.

The pyes2 vector has a galactose inducible promoter. For induction we added 10% of the volume of culture of 20% galactose.


Fig 1:comparative growth of induced and not induced pyes2 empty vector and pyes2 with Mfalpha (BBa_K2020026) and mCherry (BBa_E2060).

The logarithmic growth phase can be determined from 4 to 7 hours after induction.

Comparing the induced and not induced cultures, it can be seen that they grow much better with additional galactose as S. cerevisiae can metabolize it as a carbon source. In order to improve the significance of these measurements addition of glucose to the not induced cells can be an outlook.

Furthermore, the cells carrying the MFalpha+mCherry inserts (BBa_K2020026 and BBa_E2060) are not affected in their growth after induction as the blue and yellow curves show.
