Abstract
The invention involves a method of identifying nucleic acid sequences encoding signal peptide-containing proteins. The method features chimeric constructs containing a KRE9 gene that lacks a signal sequence. Yeast containing chimeric KRE9 plasmid constructs that encode signal sequences are selected based on their ability to grow on media in which sucrose is the sole carbon source.
