WT C4

MAT1-2; Tox1⁺ ATCC 48331

Leach et al. (1982)

Wild type strains obtained after six backcrosses and are nearly isogenic.

WT C5

MAT1-1; Tox1⁻ ATCC 48332

Leach et al. (1982)

cga1

MAT1-1; Tox1⁻ ATCC 48332

Horwitz et al. (1999)

G-protein α1 subunit disrupted mutant created by insertion of the hygromycin cassette into the coding region combined with an 18-bp deletion.

cga2

MAT1-2; Tox1⁺ ATCC 48331

Giloh M.Sc. thesis (cited in Ganem et al., 2004)

G-protein α2 subunit disrupted mutant having no known phenotypes.

cgb1

MAT1-2; Tox1⁺ ATCC 48331

Ganem et al. (2004)

G-protein β subunit disrupted mutant created by insertion of the hygromycin cassette into the coding region combined with a 473 bp deletion. This strain contains additional mutations but its phenotypic traits are similar in almost every aspect to the cgb1 that contains only one mutation.

chk1

MAT1-2; Tox1⁺ ATCC 48331

Lev et al. (1999)

MAPK disrupted mutant created by replacing the coding region with the hygromycin resistance cassette.
