Plasmids used to overexpress Sup35NMspecies for prion induction were modified to encode GFP at the C terminus of the Sup35NM. Strain HJK088 carrying these plasmids was grown under the same conditions used to induce [PSI+] in the same strain. Fold expression was measured by GFP fluorescence (see Materials and Methods) compared to cells carrying the vector alone. Expression of Sup35NMs that did not produce [PSI+] was at least as good as those that did.
