Application

Suitable for transformation of any strain of yeast. Convenient, flexible and sensitive, positive transformants can be obtained with as little as 10 ng of DNA; the optimum efficiency is in the 0.1- 3 μg range.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Transformation with a plasmid complementing the mutated gene enables the transformant to grow on medium lacking the required component. Yeast cells are made competent for transformation by incubation in a buffered lithium acetate solution. Transformation is then carried out by incubating the cells together with transforming DNA and carrier DNA in a solution containing polyethylene glycol (PEG).

Features and Benefits

  • Easy and ready-to-use
  • Requires as little as 10 ng of plasmid DNA
  • Flexibility for any strain of yeast
  • Sufficient for over 100 standard transformations

Monoacylglycerol acyltransferases (MGATs) are predominantly associated with lipid absorption and resynthesis in the animal intestine where they catalyse the first step in the monoacylglycerol (MAG) pathway by acylating MAG to form diacylglycerol (DAG).

The generation of diversity for directed protein evolution experiments shows an important bottleneck in the in vitro random mutagenesis protocols. Most of them are biased towards specific changes that eventually confer a predicted and conservative mutational spectrum, limiting the exploration

Yeast Transformation Protocols

Yeasts are considered model systems for eukaryotic studies as they exhibit fast growth and have dispersed cells.

Yeast Transformation Kit

The selection of plasmids in yeast is based on the use of auxotrophic mutant strains, which cannot grow without a specific medium component (an amino acid, purine, or pyrimidine)
