Depositor Comments

Full name of this plasmid is pFA6a-link-yECitrine-13Myc-KanR. yECitrine is created by mutagenesis from a codon-optimized green
fluorescent protein - yEGFP1 (Cormack et al. 1997). This yEGFP
variant is cloned into pDH5, replacing YFP. An codon-optimized linker
was added into the yEGFP variant to improve expression level. The
G418 resistance marker (KanR) was introduced into the plasmid by
subcloning the BglII/EcoRI fragment of pDH3 (Hailey et al., 2002) into
the plasmid, in place of SpHIS5.

The yeast GFP used to create this plasmid contained a point mutation M233I that is present in all GFP variants derived from this original yEGFP. The mutation had no effect on fluorescence (see associated publication for more details).
