Markers, selection, and media in yeast artificial chromosome cloning.

Yeast have proven to be a valuable and flexible host for cloning and manipulating large fragments of foreign genetic material, providing valuable reagents for the study of gene function and regulation in a variety of applications. However, this approach requires a familiarity with basic procedures derived from yeast genetics, and lack of experience can be a barrier to researchers with backgrounds limited to bacterial and mammalian culture systems. To address this issue, this chapter introduces and discusses the genetic markers and selection systems used in the genetic manipulation of yeast, with particular reference to yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) cloning and manipulation. Detailed descriptions of culture media are provided, allowing for the growth and selection of standard YAC strains, as well as for specialist applications.

A polymerase chain reaction-mediated yeast artificial chromosome-splitting technology for generating targeted yeast artificial chromosomes subclones.

The yeast artificial chromosomes (YAC) system makes it possible not only to clone large DNA fragments but also to simplify the physical mapping and functional analysis of chromosomes and genomes through YAC manipulation. To manipulate large DNA fragments cloned into YACs, YAC fragmentation has been developed and also a new method called the YAC-splitting method was developed recently. Although the YAC fragmentation method can be used to delete DNA from one side of a YAC, the YAC-splitting method generates two smaller YACs, both of which are transmitted to daughter cells during mitotic growth. This chapter describes the YAC-splitting method improved by incorporating polymerase chain reaction-mediated chromosome splitting (PCS) technique and by adding yeast autonomously replicating sequence (ARS) to the system. The PCS method combines a streamlined procedure (two-step PCR and one transformation per splitting event) with the Cre/loxP system for marker rescue. The improved YAC-splitting method can convert a targeted region of a eukaryotic chromosome within a YAC into a new replicating YAC.

Genomic reconstruction by serial mitotic recombination of yeast artificial chromosomes.

DNA cloned in yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs) is a valuable resource for functional experiments in cell culture as well as whole animal systems. Where the size or chimerism of a YAC clone are limiting factors it may be desirable to generate recombinant YAC clones. One such approach is based on mitotic recombination, and we describe the development of a methodology that allows multiple recombination cycles for serial reconstruction of overlapping YACs. This approach employs retrofitting with standard plasmid vectors, transfer of YACs to a common haploid host by Kar1 mating, and selection for recombination with 5-fluoro-orotic acid.
