A strong carbon source effect is mediated by pUC plasmid sequences in a series of classical yeast vectors designed for promoter characterization.

Abstract excerpt

While using YIp356 and YEp356R lacZ reporter plasmids, we found lacZ expression driven by the ARG2 promoter to be much higher in cells grown on a non-glucose carbon source than in glucose-grown cells (5-10-fold higher on galactose and up to 40-fold higher on ethanol). Furthermore, expression increased 30-fold upon shifting from a high-glucose to a low-glucose medium. This carbon source regulation requires Snf1p...
