Depositor Comments

Please note that the corrected Ampicillin promoter may improve the bacterial resistance of the plasmid to ampicillin compared to the original pXP420 (Addgene plasmid# 26844).

The HIS3 selection marker in this plasmid contains a V132A mutation in imidazoleglycerol-phosphate dehydratase. Yeast transformants grow normally on SC-HIS plates, so this mutation does not inhibit gene function.
