Table S1 Strains used in this study.
Kozak sequence is the last 15 bp before the start codon. Table S2 Plasmids used in this study. * indicates plasmids available through Addgene. These plasmids are sufficient to allow construction of WTC846 strains carrying the cAR architecture without any further construction. They can also be modified to construct strains with genes controlled by the Simple Repression (SR) and Autorepression (AR) architectures presented in this manuscript. Construction of SR strains would require deletion of the negative feedback-controlled TetR from (P2365/2370/2371/2372/2374), and construction of AR strains would require deletion of the constitutively expressed TetR-Tup1 from the same plasmids. Table S3 Oligos used in this study to create strains where WTC846 controls endogenous gene expression. See Appendix 5 for the protocol used for endogenous gene promoter replacement through homology directed repair. These oligos were used in conjunction with P2375 (NatMX) or P2350 (HygMX) to create the linear PCR fragment necessary for promoter replacement, or as colony PCR oligos to confirm correct promoter replacement. Table S4 Sequences used in this study. (*) indicates a shortened t_CYC1 used to avoid homology in plasmids where there are more than one t_CYC1 sequences. (**) indicates the linker sequence used between TetR-nls and the fusion partners MBP and Tup1. (***) indicates the linker sequence used between TetR-nls and the fusion partner GST. Table S5 Parameters used to fit 5-parameter sigmoid curves to experimental data. See Materials and methods for the 5-parameter log logistic forumula.
