Journal ArticleDOI

A versatile toolbox for PCR-based tagging of yeast genes: new fluorescent proteins, more markers and promoter substitution cassettes.

Carsten Janke, +11 more
- 01 Aug 2004 - 
TL;DR: Using the provided cassettes for N‐ and C‐terminal gene tagging or for deletion of any given gene, a set of only four primers is required, which makes this method very cost‐effective and reproducible.
Journal ArticleDOI

A LOV2 Domain-Based Optogenetic Tool to Control Protein Degradation and Cellular Function

Christian Renicke, +4 more
- 18 Apr 2013 - 
TL;DR: This engineered degron module transfers the principle of light-regulated degradation to nonplant organisms and will be highly beneficial to control protein levels in biotechnological or biomedical applications and offers the potential to render a plethora of biological processes light-switchable.
Journal ArticleDOI

System of centromeric, episomal, and integrative vectors based on drug resistance markers for Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Christof Taxis, +1 more
- 01 Jan 2006 - 
TL;DR: A system of shuttle vectors based on the widely used plasmids of the pRS series, using genes conferring resistance to Geneticin, nourseothricin, and hygromycin B as markers to enhance the flexibility of genetic manipulations and gene expression in yeast.
Journal ArticleDOI

Efficient protein depletion by genetically controlled deprotection of a dormant N‐degron

Christof Taxis, +3 more
- 01 Jan 2009 - 
TL;DR: A dormant N‐degron that can be attached to the N‐terminus of a protein of interest that becomes deprotected upon expression of a site‐specific protease, which allows the control of protein abundance by a genetically encoded regulatory system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spore number control and breeding in Saccharomyces cerevisiae: a key role for a self-organizing system.

Christof Taxis, +7 more
- 21 Nov 2005 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that precise spore number control (SNC) fulfills two functions: maximizes the production of spores that are formed by a single cell and enhances intratetrad mating, whereby maximal amounts of germinated spores are able to return to a diploid lifestyle without intermediary mitotic division.
