“…The genotypes of the strains used are listed in Table I. Strains CY2715, CY2835, CY2827, CY2837, CY3138, CY2829 and CY2830 were originated by integrating a Pst I‐linearized pG36 plasmid at the SRS2 locus in strains K699, DMP2541/8A (Paciotti et al ., 1998), DMP2161/25B (Paciotti et al ., 1998), CY2034 (Pellicioli et al ., 1999), YA145 (Fasullo et al ., 1999), K5247 and K5248 (kindly provided by K.Nasmyth), respectively, and by selecting for 5‐FOA‐resistant cells. Correct HA‐SRS2 integration was controlled by Southern analysis.…”
