[bionet.molbio.yeast] About two plasmids in one cell

GKOHLHAW@BIONET-20.BIO.NET (Gunter B. Kohlhaw) (01/10/89)

Dear fellow:

I am using two plasmids in one yeast cell to study the function of one gene
product.  

What could happen in a yeast cell that contains two plasmids?  One of the plasmids contains 2 micron sequence and a TRP1 marker;  the other one has a centromere sequence and a URA3 marker.  Both plasmids have an ampicilin resistant gene.  They are maintained in the cell by mutations of ura3 and trp1 in the genome.

I am glad that some body could give me some information about this issue.

			sciencerely,
