Apg9p does not comigrate with typical endomembrane markers in sucrose density gradients. A and B, Strain STY1 (pep4Δ) was grown in YPD to log-phase, and osmotically lysed. Lysates were precleared, loaded on a sucrose density gradient ranging from 18–55% (wt/wt), and centrifuged for 2.5 h at 174,000 g as described in Materials and Methods. Fractions were collected from the top (fraction number 1) to the bottom (fraction number 16). Fractions were subjected to SDS-PAGE and immunoblot with antiserum against Apg9p and: in A, Kex2p (trans Golgi network), Pho8p (vacuole), and Pma1p (plasma membrane); and in B, Sec12p (ER) and Pep12p (endosome). The graphs in panels A and B are from the same gradient, but are presented separately for clarity.
