In the absence of Oye2p, actin oxidation leads to premature aging and cell death. Strains were grown to and maintained in stationary phase for 18 d. On the indicated days, cells were plated and the percentages of viable cells were determined based on colony-forming units per total cells. The averages and SDs were calculated from three experiments, where n = 400, n being the number of cell bodies plated.
