And I received the following responses, many thanks to :

==================================================
Hi Brian:
I can send you a "kit" of plasmids containing the GAL1-10
promoter.
I have a plasmid (pBM150 or 272) where the GAL promoter provides the
RNA start site, and the inserted gene provides the ATG, and plasmids
(pBM756, 758) where the GAL fragment provides both the RNA start site
and the ATG codon. The cloning sites are RI and HindIII. I have
distributed these plasmids widely, so you may be able to obtain them
from Jasper Rine or Jeremy Thorner (talk to Jeff Flick in Thorner's
lab). ]
Sincerely,
Mark Johnston
==================================================
I have a recommendation for your vector request. pRS316-GAL1 described
in Genetics 132 665-673. We have used the yeast cDNA library
constructed in this vector with great success.
Dave
==================================================
Check pYES2 vector from INVITROGEN corp. It is URA3, 2 micron, Amp,
ColE1, f1 ori, GAL1 promotor, T7 promotor, polylinker, CYC1 terminator.
Good luck Peter
