There is a yeast shuttle vector (pWH5) that may cater for your needs that
was published by
Wright APH, Maundrell K, Heyer W-D, Beach D, Nurse P (1986) Vectors for the
construction of gene banks and the integration of cloned genes in S.pombe
and S.cerevisiae. Plasmid, 15:156-158.
pWH5 contains a tet resistence gene driven by the lambda Pr promoter and it
also contains a version of the cI repressor gene containing cloning sites.
Cloning inserts in these sites inactivates the cI protein, thus allowing
expression of tet resistence. One of the cloning sites is SmaI.
If you would like to use this plasmid let me know and I will send it to you.
Best wishes
