Mutations in Xpo1p, Ran, and Prp20p abrogate the turnover of Mad1p on kinetochores during SAC arrest. (A and B) MAD1-GFP and MTW1-RFP in nup60Δ strains containing an otherwise WT genotype (Y3057) or the mutant alleles kap95-14 (Y3161), msn5Δ (Y3116), or xpo1-T539C (Y3156; A) and prp20-7 (Y3091) or gsp1-G21V (Y3096; B) were arrested in nocodazole-containing media. The function of the mutant allele was inhibited by shifting to a nonpermissive growth condition (37°C or +LMB), or, in the case of gsp1-G21V, its expression was induced by the addition of galactose. WT and msn5Δ cells were examined directly after nocodazole arrest. Kinetochore-associated Mad1-GFP (prebleach; 0− s) was identified by colocalization with Mtw1-RFP (not depicted). Kinetochore-associated Mad1-GFP was photobleached, and recovery was monitored by acquiring images immediately after bleaching (postbleach; 0+ s) and at 15-s intervals. Images from 30-s intervals are shown. The arrowheads point to bleached kinetochores (0− s). Bars, 1 μm.
