The resulting Ura+ diploid was sporulated and tetrads were dissected. We thereby recovered viable rpo26::kanMX haploids that were resistant to G418 and unable to grow on medium containing 0.75 mg/ml FOA (5-fluoroorotic acid), a drug that selects against the URA3RPO26 plasmid. The rpo26Δ strain was used to test plasmid-borne alleles of RPO26 for rpo26Δ complementation by plasmid shuffle as follows. rpo26Δ pRS316-RPO26 cells were transfected with pRS425-TPI-RPO26 plasmids containing wild-type or mutant RPO26 alleles. Individual transformants were selected and patched on SD-Leu agar medium. Cells from each isolate were streaked on agar medium containing 1.0 mg/ml FOA at 30°. In cases where the RPO26-containing plasmid supported growth on FOA, two isolates of each mutant amplified from single FOA-resistant colonies were tested for growth by spotting 3-μl aliquots of serial 10-fold dilutions of cells (from liquid cultures grown in SD–Leu medium to mid-log phase at 30° and adjusted to A600 of 0.1) to YPD agar and incubating the plates at 18° for 7 d, 25° for 4 d, 30° for 3 d, or 37° for 2 d.","tracks":[]}
