CC-3055 KK5C12 mt+ [high tubulin expression]

From Keith Kozminski in Joel Rosenbaum’s laboratory, Yale University, April 1995

This strain expresses epitope-tagged alpha1-tubulin to a high and constant level. It was created by transformation in March 1991. nit1-305 cells were cotransformed with pMN24 (nitrate reductase) and a construct containing the Chlamydomonas alpha1-tubulin gene tagged with a nine amino acid epitope from influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA). To obtain a high level of expression, the alpha1-tubulin promoter was replaced with the Rubisco S2 promoter.
