Abstract excerpt
We have designed a colony color assay for monitoring centromere DNA-protein interactions in yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). The assay is based on the ability of centromere DNA sequences to block (in cis) transcription initiated from a hybrid CEN-GAL1 promoter. Using a IacZ reporter gene under control of the CEN-GAL1 promoter, we screened colonies derived from mutagenized cells for a blue color phenotype...
