TABLE 5.

Overexpression of Hsp104 from the GAL1 promoter does not cure [URE3]a

Mediumb Plasmid No. of positive colonies/total no. tested in:
Growth test Feeding test
SDextrose Vector 150/150 24/24
GAL1-HSP104 150/150 24/24
SGalactose Vector 160/160 24/24
GAL1-HSP104 160/160 24/24
SGalactose + raffinose Vector 95/95 24/24
GAL1-HSP104 112/112 24/24
a

Strain YHE835 was transformed on dextrose media with either the vector (pH316) or the same plasmid containing HSP104 under the control of the GAL1 promoter (pA). Confirmed USA+ colonies of each were pooled and grown to single colonies on the indicated media. These single colonies were then tested for the ability to use USA for growth and for uracil feeding to a lawn of a ura2/ura2 strain. 

b

SDextrose, minimal medium with dextrose; SGalactose, minimal medium with galactose.
