Rvs161p is required for Fus2p movement and localization. (A) Fus2p-GFP is not transported or localized in an rvs161Δ mutant. MY9214 was induced with pheromone for 1.5 h. (B) Fus2p-GFP localization is dependent on Rvs161p's cell fusion function. MY9231 (rvs161Δ), MY9233 (cell fusion defective allele rvs161-P203Q), and MY9239 (endocytosis-defective allele rvs161-R113K) were treated with α-factor for 1.5 h. Bars, 1 μm. (C) Fus2p interacts with Rvs161p but not Rvs167p. Wild-type cells expressing Rvs167p-HA, Fus2p-FLAG, or both epitope-tagged proteins were treated with α-factor, and proteins were immunoprecipitated with anti-HA or anti-FLAG antibodies. Fus2p-FLAG and Rvs167p-HA could immunoprecipitate Rvs161p but the two tagged proteins did not coimmunoprecipitate with each other. (D) Rvs161p association with Fus2p is dependent on pheromone induction. Fus2p-GFP was expressed from the PGAL1 promoter (MY9201) by induction with galactose, mock treated, or treated with α-factor for 1.5 h. Protein extracts were prepared and Fus2p-GFP was immunoprecipitated.
