  • Genomic PCR of WT SC-STE2 (YFL026W - http://www.yeastgenome.org/locus/S000001868/overview) - ORF
  • Genomic PCR of MF(ALPHA)1 (YPL187W - http://www.yeastgenome.org/locus/mf%28alpha%291/overview) - secretion tag (first PCR), second PCR to add the actual pheromone and stop codon

Construction

Construction of reporter plasmids

The pADH1, pSTE2, pSTE5, and pFUS1 promoters were obtained by PCR from yeast genome (isolated according to standard protocol from 7283 MATx strain). The asCYC1 and pTv3 promoters were obtained by PCR from g-blocks. The primers used for this are as follows :

Forward: TACTAGTAGCGGCCGCTGCAG Reverse: GCTAGCCCAAAAAAACGGGTATGGAG

Forward: TACTAGTAGCGGCCGCTGCAG Reverse: GCTAGCCCAAAAAAACGGGTATGGAG

Forward: TACTAGTAGCGGCCGCTGCAG Reverse: GCTAGCCCAAAAAAACGGGTATGGAG

The asCYC1, and pTv3 promoters were obtained by PCR from g-blocks The primers used for this are as follows

Forward: TACTAGTAGCGGCCGCTGCAG Reverse: GCTAGCCCAAAAAAACGGGTATGGAG

All promoters were PCRed in a single PCR run, with the following conditions . PCR products were gel verified

PCR products were then purified () and restricted by corresponding restriction enzymes, which are listed in the following table

Construction of INSERT MATa and INSERT MATx

The backbone pRSII406 was obtained from Addgene. MATa was ordered in the form of gblock yG_MATa with sequence
