Ccc2 and RAN1 copper transporters and saturable ethylene binding to ETR1 expressed in yeast. A, intact yeast cells expressing the ETR1 receptor in the Ccc2 (Ccc2-ETR1) or Δccc2 (Δccc2-ETR1) background were analyzed for [14C]ethylene binding. The effects of transforming Δccc2-ETR1 yeast with RAN1, ran1-1, and ran1-2 on ETR1 ethylene binding are shown. Ethylene binding using [14C]ethylene is compared between samples treated with [14C]ethylene (0.1 μl/liter) and identical samples treated with [14C]ethylene (0.1 μl/liter) plus [12C]ethylene (100 μl/liter). Equal amounts of yeast used in the binding assays were analyzed on Western blots probed with anti-ETR1 antibodies. B, displaceable ethylene binding in the presence and absence of 300 μm copper sulfate is shown for membranes isolated from Ccc2-ETR1 and Δccc2-ETR1 yeast. Displaceable binding was calculated by subtracting the amount of [14C]ethylene (0.1 μl/liter) bound in the presence of excess [12C]ethylene (100 μl/liter) from amount of [14C]ethylene (0.1 μl/liter) bound in the absence of added [12C]ethylene. In both panels, the mean ± S.D. for disintegrations/min/g of yeast is shown.
