The location of primers used for amplification of sections of the gene construct are listed in Table 1. Supplemental Material Integration of HBD3 into Lager yeast strain CMBS-33. The DNA sequences for insertion were amplified as three overlapping fragments (1, 2 and 3; Fig 1B). Fragment 1, corresponding to the S. bayanus (PGK) gene promoter (GenBank Accession Number AACA01000006.1; 48563- 48946) was amplified from the lager yeast strain CMBS-33 genomic DNA using primers A and B (Table 1). The 5’ region of primer A contains DNA sequences from YPR159C-A (Table 1, represented by an open rectangle in Fig 1B) while the 5’ end of primer B has reverse complementarity (30 nucleotides) downstream to the start codon (ATG) of the signal peptide in the HBD3 construct in pGREGHBD3-505. Fragment 2 was amplified with Primers C and D and contains sequences spanning from the signal peptide sequence (Primer C) and the 5’ end of the KanMx gene of the HBD3 construct in pGREGHBD3-505 (Primer D). Similarly, primers E and F were used to amplify Fragment 3 encompassing the remainder of the KanMx gene. Primer E has extensive overlap with Fragment 2 while the 5’ 30 nucleotides of primer F has reverse complementarity to sequences in the intergenic region YPR159C-YPR160W of chromosome XVI in the lager yeast genome (Usher and Bond, 2009), upstream of the start codon YPR160W (Table 1). The three fragments were amplified separately and purified. Equimolar amounts of the three fragments were used in a transformation reaction with the yeast lager strain CMBS-33 with the following exceptions; the PEG-lithium acetate incubation was at o 30 C for 16 hours and the recovery period was extended to 24 hours. The cells were plated on YEPM-agar plates containing 200 µg/mL G418 and incubated up to 72 hours. The three fragments were assembled and inserted into the chromosome by in vivo homologous recombination as described previously (Jansen et al., 2005), To identify integrants at the YPR159A site, colony PCRs were carried out using primers anchored in the YPR159C-A region of the genomic DNA and various segments of the HBD3 gene construct. PCR products were sequenced on both strands.
