Overview

• Assembled and integrated two different safety switches, based on TPK2 overexpression or mRFP expression induced at low ATP levels, into CEN.PK2.

• SS TPK2 shows reduced growth rate after OD-measurement but no change in viability compared to wild type.

• mRFP measurements show that connection of pTEF1 to pSUC2 maintains the ATP repression mechanism of pSUC2, while achieving higher expression at low ATP levels.

• Successfully constructed and integrated the system to detect the P-factor from S.pombe into CEN.PK2.

• Fluorescent cells in DAS

• Amplified all parts of the PUR system, but obtained vector-only clones after Gibson and transformation into E.coli

DAS

The system without the amplification through dCAS9-VP64 (construct 4) was successfully assembled and integrated into S.cerevisiae CEN.PK2. The genomic integration was verified with colony PCR and sequencing. The detection system was initially intended to be integrated into IMFD-70, but as several transformations failed the strain was changed to CEN.PK2 instead.
