Figure 4.
Nucleocytoplasmic transport is normal in spi1-25 cells. Wild-type or spi1-25 cells with either integrated GFP-SV40, NLS-LacZ, or GFP-pap1 were grown to midlog phase at 25°C then shifted to 36°C for 4 h. The GFP-SV40 NLS-β-galactosidase reporter protein is exclusively nuclear localized in wild-type (A) and spi1-25 cells (B). Without hydrogen peroxide treatment, GFP-Pap1p is exported from the nucleus in both wild-type (C) and spi1-25 cells (D). 15 min after the addition of 0.8 mM hydrogen peroxide, the fusion protein is imported into the nucleus in wild-type cells (E) and spi1-25 cells (F).
