Constructs for expression of wt Tsa1 in yeast (p416-GPD) and bacteria (pET45b) have been reported previously.32 (link) For yeast experiments, genes encoding wild-type Tsa1 or Tsa1 decamer interface variants (all with an N-terminal FLAG tag) were placed under the control of the GPD promoter, which allows for constitutive, high-level expression in yeast.31 (link),32 (link) For bacterial over-expression, the Tsa1 gene was tagged at the N-terminus with a vector-encoded 6X-His tag. Codons for aromatic residues at the decamer interface in Tsa1 were mutated to Ala or Leu using the QuikChange mutagenesis protocol (Agilent) with the primers reported in Table S1 in the Supporting Information, as described previously.31 (link),32 (link) All constructs containing mutations were verified by DNA sequencing.
