Remarks:
L270 sequence was inserted into intercistronic position of pFGAL4 bicistronic plasmid to create tricistronic
control vector that can be used in the pFGAL4h/PJ69A reporter system. The yeast strain PJ69A contains besides
the GAL4 and GAL80 deletions also reporter genes coding for the yeast Ade2 and His3 proteins and for the
bacterial beta-galactosidase - all of them under the control of the Gal4-inducible Gal1 promoter. Thus
pFGAL4/PJ69A represents a specialised and sensitive system, which allows an enhancement of the measured signal
by in vivo coupled transcription and enzymatic detection. This system can be used for both measuring the ratio
of the beta-gal/luc enzymatic activities and searching for IRES activity by screening the colony growth rates
on selection media lacking adenine and histidine and containing various concentrations of the competitive
inhibitor of the histidine biosynthetic pathway.
