Detection of transposition activities of five common transposons in P. pastoris and liquid enrichment of transposon mutants. (A) A schematic diagram showing the two-component assay system. A helper plasmid integrated into the P. pastoris genome provides transposase under the control of an inducible promoter. A donor plasmid provides the Transposon Element (TE) lacking transposase but containing a HIS4+ selection marker. (B) YND plates after His+ transformant selection. Compared with pBRAmp-TIRsHis, pBRAmp-His lacks the corresponding TIRs which are necessary components for transposition to happen. (C) Integration assays of the five common transposons: Himar1, Mos1, Osmar14, SB and TcB in P. pastoris. “−” is the negative control which measures the transposition of a HIS4+ expression cassette from the pBRAmp-His into wild type genome. (D) Growth curves of GS115, GS115 + 1/10,000 GS115-GFP-HIS4, GS115 + 1/100 GS115-GFP-HIS4 and GS115-GFP-HIS4 cells.
