Depositor Comments

Full name of this plasmid is pFA6a-link-yEGFP-CaURA3. An codon-optimized linker was added into the yEGFP to improve expression level. C. albicans URA3 (CaURA3) was introduced by subcloning the BglII/SacI fragment of pAG60 (Goldstein et al., 1999) 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).
