FIGURE 6:

Heh1p and Pom152p lumenal domains specifically interact. (A) Schematic showing both full-length Pom152p with NPC, TM, and lumenal (lumen) domains, in addition to the product of an allele of POM152 with two tandem HA peptides (pom152-HA) inserted into the lumenal domain. As shown at right, this allele is unable to support growth of heh1Δpom152Δ strains. An heh1Δpom152Δ strain covered with a URA3/POM152 plasmid and transformed with either a LEU2/POM152 or LEU2/pom152-HA plasmid was plated onto YPD or 5-FOA (to force the loss of URA3/POM152). Images were taken after 2 d at 30°C. (B) Schematic of lumenal domain constructs and topology in ER (gray lines are monolayers) expressed as fusions to both the N (Nub/prey/2μm/TRP1) or C terminus (Cub/bait/CEN/LEU2) of ubiquitin. Cub is fused to a cleavable LexA-VP16 transcription factor released upon Cub-Nub interaction that promotes transcription of the HIS3 gene in the two-hybrid query strain (NMY32). Positive interactions are thus assessed as growth on CSM-Leu-Trp-His. AI-Alg5 and DL-Alg5 are positive (+) and negative (–) controls for bait topology and self-activation, respectively. Numbers are amino acids. Y’s are glycosylation sites. HA is two tandem HA peptides inserted into the Pom152p lumenal domain. (C) NMY32 was simultaneously transformed with plasmids expressing the bait/Cub-fusion of pom152(171–1337) and the indicated prey/Nub fusions. Transformants were spotted in 10-fold serial dilutions on CSM-Leu-Trp plates and CSM-Leu-Trp-His plates and imaged after 3 d at 30°C.
