Cytosolic and mitochondrial GSH:GSSG pools are maintained
separately. The glr1Δ strain was doubly transformed with an
rxYFP expression plasmid (pJH208 (cytosol-rxYFP), pLD207 (matrix-rxYFP), or
pJH200 (IMS-rxYFP)) and a Glr1 expression plasmid (pJH201 (WT Glr1), pRS413
(vector control), pJH203 (M1L Glr1), or pJH202 (M17L Glr1)). Cells were grown
to mid-log phase in selecting SC glucose media. A, redox Western blot
and quantification (B) were performed as described in
Fig. 4. C, the percent
of oxidized glutathione (percent GSS/(GSH + GSS)) was calculated from total
GSH and GSSG levels in each extract. GSS = 2XGSSG. For B and
C, the reported values are the mean of three independent experiments.
Error bars are the means ± S.D.
