 Description: Chemically competent Kluyveromyces lactis YCT598 cells are a suitable host for expressing proteins that have exhibited proteolysis in the parental GG799 background (NEB #C1001). YCT598 cells can be transformed with any linearized pKLAC-series or pKLMF-series expression vector. K. lactis strain YCT598 carries a selectable marker-free deletion of the KLLA0D15917g locus encoding an extracellular aspartyl protease that is homologous to S. cerevisiae Bar1p.
Strain: K. lactis strain YCT598 (Δ KLLA0D15917g). No auxotrophies or genetic markers.
Reagents Supplied with Cells: NEB Yeast Transformation Reagent (NEB #M2570). Store at 4°C.
Storage Conditions

 Storage Temperature: -80°C
Notes

 General notes:- Store Competent Cells at -80°C. Once Thawed, Do Not Re-freeze
Usage notes:- Due to the high transformation efficiency of K. lactis YCT598 Competent Cells, plating multiple dilutions of the cell mixture is necessary to ensure formation of plates with distinct single colonies. Growth time should not exceed 5 days as small colonies that lack an integrated expression fragment may form.
Plates containing colonies can be stored at 4°C for up to two weeks.
Growth of K. lactis YCT598 Competent Cells carrying an integrated expression vector for protein expression should be performed in YPGal medium (1% yeast extract, 2% peptone, 2% galactose) supplemented with a final concentration of 38 mM (NH4)2SO4.

Protocols

 Protocols for K. lactis YCT598 Competent Cells
Quality Control for Current Lot

 Quality control values for a specific lot can be found on the datacard which accompanies each product.
Competency: One microgram of linearized pKLAC1-malE was used to transform one tube of K. lactis YCT598 Competent Cells following the protocol provided. Greater than 1 x 104 colonies formed after a 3 day incubation at 30°C. Use of cells beyond the expiration date may result in lower transformation efficiency.
Sterility: One tube of competent cells and 100 µl NEB Yeast Transformation Reagent were spread onto individual YCB Agar Medium plates containing 5 mM acetamide and incubated at 30°C for 3 days. No bacterial or fungal growth was detected.
