Figure 2. C. elegans SMF transporters rescue EGTA sensitivity of yeast ΔSmf1+ΔSmf-2 mutant.
S. cerevisiae double-mutant Smf1Δ+Smf-2Δ is hypersensitive to exposure to the divalent cation chelator EGTA (red), when compared to wildtype (dotted black line). Transvections of C. elegans smf-1 (blue), smf-2 (green) or smf-3 (orange) cDNA rescue the double-mutant hypersensitivity to EGTA.
