Unbudded cells of strain YLK189 were isolated and treated with 150 μM Lat-A as described in Materials and Methods. Only cells with both proteins visible were scored.

a

The Kcc4 and Bni4 signals were intermediate between rings and caps.

b

Lost asymmetry is defined as a ratio of Kcc4 to Bni4 signal diameter of ≥0.9.
