Figure 3. Pcl9 localizes to G1-specific promoters in a cell cycle-dependent manner.

Figure 3

(A) Pho85 regulates Pcl9 protein stability. Wt (BY263) and pho85Δ strains (BY391) harboring a GAL1-PCL9HA plasmid (pBA2112) were grown to exponential phase in galactose media (lane 1). PCL9 expression was repressed by addition of glucose to final concentration of 2% and cells were harvested 10 (lane 2), 30 (lane 3), and 90 (lane 4) min after addition of glucose. Pcl9 abundance was assessed by immunoblotting using 12CA5 anti-HA antibodies. (B) Pcl9 localizes to SBF-dependent promoters. An exponentially growing GAL1-CDC20 pho85ΔPCL9MYCstrain (BY4148, lane 1) was arrested at M/G1 phase in glucose-containing medium (lane 2). Cultures were harvested 15 (lane 3), 30 (lane 4), 45 (lane 5), and 60 (lane 6) min after release from CDC20-induced arrest in galactose medium. Cell cycle progression was monitored by FACS analysis. Anti-MYC and anti-Swi6 ChIPs from the indicated strains were analyzed for CLN2 promoter sequences by quantitative RT-PCR. (C) In a strain lacking Whi5, GAL1-CDC20 pho85Δ whi5ΔPCL9MYC, Pcl9 no longer localizes to the CLN2 promoter. Anti-Swi4 ChIPs are shown as a positive control.
