Culture

Inoculate 100µL of Saccharomyces cerevisiae SK1 on YPD medium overnight (at 30°C).
This yeast will be transformed.

PCR

3 PCR were realized on HO-Poly-KanMX4-HO plasmid to create a Kanamycin resistance marker, thanks to 3 pairs of primers wich have tails we’ll be use to knock out genes PHO80, PHO85 and both in the yeast.

Protocol:

	PHO80	PHO85	FRT+ PHO85
Master mix (µL)	50	50	50
H2O DNAse Free (µL)	45	45	45
Resistance plasmid (µL)	1	1	1
PHO80 5'Primer (µL)		2
PHO80 3'Primer (µL)		2
PHO85 5'Primer (µL)	2
PHO85 3'Primer (µL)	2
PHO85 + FRT 5'Primer (µL)			2
PHO85 + FRT 3'Primer (µL)			2

PCR purification

Protocol :

Dilute PCR product (5 or 10 times ?) with the resuspension buffer

Pour it in a purification column

Centrifuge 30sec at 14K rpm

Throw the filtrat

Add 700µL of EtOH (washing solution)

Centrifuge 30sec at 14K rpm

Throw the filtrat

Add 500µLof washing solution

Centrifuge 30sec at 14K rpm

Throw the filtrat

Centrifuge 30sec at 14K rpm

Throw the filtrat

Put the column in a Eppendorf

Add 45µL of RNAse/DNAse free water right on the membrane

Wait 2min

Centrifuge 2min at 10K rpm

PCR The PCR control with an electrophoresis

We expected bands around 1.300bp. The band corresponding to marker with FRT is bigger than the two others strips wich have just the Kanamycin resistance with tails.

Pre-culture

Swo one colony of Saccharomyces cerevisiae SK1 in 5mL liquid YPD medium and let 's grow overnight.

Transformation of yeast

Protocol :

After growth, determine the titer of the yeast culture by using spectrophotometer : pipette 10µL of cells into 1mL of wtaer in spectrophotometer cuvette and measure the OD at 600nm.

Add 2.5x10⁸ cells to 50mL of 2X YPD in a culture flask.

Incubate the flask in a shaking incubator at 30°C until the cell culture is at least 2x10⁷ cells.mL^-1
