Abstract excerpt
The Escherichia coli recA protein coding region was ligated into an extrachromosomally replicating yeast expression vector downstream of the yeast alcohol dehydrogenase promoter region to produce plasmid pADHrecA. Transformation of the wild-type yeast strains YNN-27 and 7799-4B, as well as the recombination-deficient rad52-1 C5-6 mutant, with this shuttle plasmid resulted in the expression of the bacterial 38 kDa...
