Figure 2. Paf1 Complex Members Genetically Interact with NAB3 and NRD1.
(A) Vector (pRS425), the original 2μ library plasmid containing NAB3, and a NAB3 sub-clone (2μ NAB3) were transformed into wt (KY767), rtf1Δ (KY656), and rtf1-107 (KKY58) strains. Suppression of the Spt− phenotype was analyzed by spotting equivalent numbers of cells in 10-fold serial dilutions onto selective medium lacking histidine (5 days incubation).
(B) A plasmid shuffle experiment was performed by transforming pRS314, pRS314-NRD1, or pRS314-nrd1-5 into nrd1Δ RTF1(KKY129), nrd1Δ rtf1Δ (KKY128), or nrd1Δ cdc73Δ (KKY143) cells that contained pRS316-NRD1. Transformants were passaged on 5-FOA to select against the pRS316-NRD1 plasmid. Equivalent numbers of cells were spotted in 10-fold serial dilutions onto YPD (4 days incubation).
