Pairs of isogenic strains were cotransformed with plasmids expressing fusion proteins and CYC1-lacZ reporter plasmids carrying zero, one, or four LexA operators 5′ to the UAS (Fig. 1). Fold repression for both one-operator (1op) and four-operator (4op) reporters is relative to the operator-less reporter. ND, not determined.
The strains were MCY3647 and MCY3644, and the plasmids were pSH2-1 or pLexA-Mig1. β-Galactosidase (β-Gal) activity was assayed in permeabilized cells. Values are averages for three independent transformants. Standard errors were <20%.
The strains were MCY3661 and MCY3662, and the plasmids were pBTM116 and pSK101. β-Galactosidase activity was assayed in protein extracts. Values are averages for five transformants. Standard errors were <12%.
Same as described for experiment B, except that the strains were MCY3661 and MCY3664 and the plasmids were pSH2-1 or pLexA-Mig1. Standard errors were <14%.
