Development of growth selection systems to isolate a-type or α-type of yeast cells spontaneously emerging from MATa/α diploids

Abstract: BackgroundManufacture of MATa and MATα yeast cells is required for crossbreeding, a procedure that permits hybridization and the generation of new heterozygous strains. Crossbreeding also can be performed with a- and α-type of cells, which have the same mating abilities as MATa and MATα haploid cells, respectively.ResultsIn this work, we describe a method to generate a- and α-type of cells via the naturally-occurring chromosomal aberration in parental MATa/α diploids. We successfully designed suitable genetic … Show more

“…In this study, we developed a novel efficient method for the isolation of MCCs for yeast crossbreeding, and isolated a/a‐ and α / α ‐type cells from bottom‐fermenting yeast. Although several methods for isolation of MCCs have been previously reported (Alexander et al, ; Fukuda et al, ; Hashimoto, Aritomi, Minohara, et al, ; Mertens et al, ; Nakazawa et al, ; Steensels et al, ), the present method has two advantages. First, it does not depend on DNA recombination techniques.…”

“…Previously, we developed an efficient method for conferring mating ability to the meiotic segregants of bottom‐fermenting yeast by forced expression of the exogenous HO gene controlled by the GAL1 promoter (in preparation). In addition, Nakazawa et al (), Fukuda and Honda (), and Alexander et al () developed methods for isolation of MCCs based on artificial genetic modification. However, these approaches depend on DNA recombination techniques and cannot be put to practical use in terms of public acceptance.…”

“…In addition, T PGK1 was amplified from genomic DNA derived from strain BY4742 using oligonucleotide pair o5 and o6, and the obtained fragment was digested with Bam HI and Xho I. The two digested DNA fragments, P TDH3 - hygro and T PGK1 , were inserted at the Sac I- Xho I sites of pLY-3U to replace the P STE3 - URA3 - T CYC1 cassette (Fukuda et al 2013a ), yielding a plasmid designated pLY-hygro.…”

“…Using pK6 (Fukuda et al 2013b ) as a template, the expression cassette of the kanMX4 marker (consisting of P TEF1 , ORF and terminator) was amplified with oligonucleotide pair o7 and o8, and inserted in place of the P PGK1 - EGFP - T ADH1 cassette at the Sac II- Xho I sites of pHY-PGA (Fukuda et al 2013a ), yielding a plasmid designated pHY-kan.…”
