Depositor Comments

The plasmid pAFS135 (Straight, Sedat, and Murray, 1998) contains GFP(S65T, V163A)-LacI(P3Y, del C-terminal 11 aa)-SV40 NLS under the control of a HIS3 promoter fragment. To construct pAT123, the HIS3 marker of AFS135 was replaced with a ScaI-DraIII fragment from RS405 containing LEU2 (a kind gift from Karine Dubrana and Susan Gasser).

The plasmid pAT222 was obtained by site-directed mutagenesis of pAT123 to create GFP-LacI**, using the primers (base mutations in lowercase):

5’- GTGGCACAgCAACTGGCGGaCAAAggtggcggaTCGTTGCTGATTGGCGTTGCCtCCT-3’ and
5’- AGGaGGCAACGCCAATCAGCAACGAtccgccaccTTTGtCCGCCAGTTGcTGTGCCAC- 3’.

Alternate plasmid name: pAT123LacI2G(4mutations)
