A positive selection for mutants lacking orotidine-5'-phosphate decarboxylase activity in yeast: 5-fluoro-orotic acid resistance
Mol Gen Genet.
1984.
Abstract
Mutations at the URA3 locus of Saccharomyces cerevisiae can be obtained by a positive selection. Wild-type strains of yeast (or ura3 mutant strains containing a plasmid-borne URA3+ gene) are unable to grow on medium containing the pyrimidine analog 5-fluoro-orotic acid, whereas ura3- mutants grow normally. This selection, based on the loss of orotidine-5'-phosphate decarboxylase activity seems applicable to a variety of eucaryotic and procaryotic cells.
