We have constructed new yeast vectors for targeted integration of desired sequences at the Saccharomyces cerevisiae HO locus. Insertion at HO has been shown to have no effect on yeast growth, and thus these integrations should be neutral. One vector contains the KanMX selectable marker, and integrants can be selected by resistance to G418. The other vector contains the hisG-URA3-hisG cassette, and integrants can be selected by uracil prototrophy. Subsequent growth on 5-FOA permits identification of colonies where recombination between the hisG tandem repeats has led to loss of the URA3 marker and return to uracil auxotrophy. We also describe several new bacterial polylinker vectors derived from pUC21 (ampicillin resistance) and pUK21 (kanamycin resistance).

Dominant selection markers encoding hygromycin B phosphotransferase (hph), nourseothricin N-acetyltransferase (nat) and a mutant inositol phosphoceramide synthase (AUR1-C) were all incorporated into the pYC yeast plasmid vector system, thus expanding this system with possible alternatives to the use of G418 resistance. We found the markers to be of use not only in standard laboratory strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae but also in an industrial strain of S. carlsbergensis (syn. of S. pastorianus) brewing yeast as well as in Saccharomyces kluyveri. As the pYC system contains means of counter-selection for plasmid loss and loop-out of integrated plasmids, it now provides ample opportunities for genetic manipulation of industrial and non-conventional yeasts when the URA3 marker and FOA counter-selection is not an option. Furthermore, the lacZ system for analyzing gene expression was included in the system.
