A vector for construction of gene libraries and the expression of heterologous genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

We have constructed a convenient new vector, YEp-DE, for the construction of gene libraries and the expression of heterologous genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The vector contains the yeast LEU2 gene, the 2 μ origin of replication, and a region from pUC18 that includes the amp r gene, the Escheric...

Zusammenfassung:We have constructed a convenient new vector, YEp-DE, for the construction of gene libraries and the expression of heterologous genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The vector contains the yeast LEU2 gene, the 2 μ origin of replication, and a region from pUC18 that includes the amp r gene, the Escherichia coli origin of replication (ori), and the LacZ gene with multiple cloning sites. Five sites (Sac1, Sma1, BamH1, Sal1, Sph1) in this region are unique. This vector has advantages over similar yeast- E. coli shuttle vectors: small size (7291 bp, entirely sequenced), convenient cloning sites, and lacZ selection for detecting recombinant plasmids.
