To overcome these limitations, while trying to achieve integrative transformation, we built two new binary vectors (pABr1 and pABr3).
In Tuber, repeated elements, including retrotransposons, account for about 60% of the genome (Martin et al. [2010]), suggesting that integrative transformation mediated by heterologous recombination is likely driven by repetitive DNA sequences.
RNP1.2-PrA and RNP1.3-PrA expressing Kap108-FLAG were obtained by integrative transformation.
Production, regeneration, and integrative transformation of P. anserina spheroplasts was performed as described [ 52, 53].
The query mutation is introduced into a pool of heterozygote diploid knockout yeast strains by integrative transformation.
Standard methods for culture of yeast strains and integrative transformation, mating, sporulation and tetrad analysis was performed as previously described [ 63].
For comparison the S. cerevisiae HIS3 and the S. pombe his5 + genes share 58% sequence identity and yet do not recombine during integrative transformation [ 41].
Recombinant pEXPYR-Cbh1 or pEXPYR-CelD plasmid was introduced through integrative transformation into the A. nidulans strain FGSC A773 (pyrG pyroA) genome [ 64] and recombinants selected on MM supplemented with 1 mM pyridoxine and 100 μg/ml of zeocin.
