tpe mutants are inhibited in the accumulation of M-C6-NBD-PE. TPE1-1 and its Tpe+ parent strain, CRY2, were grown to mid-log phase at 23°C. The incubation temperature was then shifted to 37°C for 30 min, and M-C6-NBD-PE internalization assays were performed for 1 h before microscopic analysis as described in Materials and Methods. (A–C) CRY2. (D–F) TPE1-1. (G–I) tpe2-1. (A, B, D, E, G, and H) NBD fluorescence. (C, F, and I) DIC optics. In A and D, a neutral density filter was used that attenuated the excitatory light by 95%. In B and E, the filter was removed to allow 100% of the excitatory light to impinge upon the sample.
