Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
To avoid interference of endogenous GAL4 and GAL80 proteins, MaV203 must carry deletions of the GAL4 and GAL80 genes. As a result of deletion of these two genes, MaV203 cells grow more slowly compared to yeast strains containing the wild-type version of these genes. Please note that the growth rate will depend on the type of growth medium used (e.g., YPD versus SC drop-out media).
No, the MaV203 cells are provided as a glycerol stock. Cells from this stock need to be streaked on a YPD plate for growth at 30 degrees C. Resulting colonies can be used to prepare competent cells for transformation as per the ProQuest Two-Hybrid System manual. Alternatively, ready-to-use MaV203 Competent Yeast Cells, Subcloning Scale (Cat. No. 11445-012) or Library Scale (Cat. No. 11281-011) are available for purchase from Thermo Fisher Scientific.
