FIGURE 3:
GFP-Sro7 polarization to sites of active growth is dramatically perturbed in the myo2-iq1,5 mutant. (A) Wild-type strain expressing GFP-Sro7 (CEN) was grown in selective media to midlog at 25°C and then fixed and processed for fluorescence microscopy. Bar, 1 μm. (B) Wild-type and myo2-iq1,5 strains expressing GFP-Sro7 (CEN), GFP-Sec4 (CEN), and GFP-Mlc1 (CEN) were grown in selective media at the permissive temperature (32°C) and then fixed and processed for fluorescence microscopy. Quantitation of polarized tagged proteins in wild-type and myo2-iq1,5 mutant cells were obtained by scoring a minimum of 50 cells at emerging bud sites and bud tips. Bar, 1 μm. (C) Wild-type and myo2-iq1,5 mutant cells were grown overnight at permissive temperature (32°C) and then shifted to 25°C for 8 h before being spheroplasted, lysed, and subjected to immunoprecipitation with affinity-purified preimmune (pi) and immune (i) anti-Sro7 and anti-Myo2 antibody. The lane marked T represents the input of wild-type and myo2iq1,5 strains used.
