Figure 7.

Subcellular fractionation of Atg9 clusters in wild-type, atg11Δ, and atg1Δ backgrounds. (A) The Atg9-PA (FRY172), Atg9-PA atg11Δ pep4Δ (FRY250), and Atg9-PA atg1Δ pep4Δ (FRY196) strains were grown to log phase, converted to spheroplasts, and lysed, then cell extracts were centrifuged at 13,000 g for 15 min. The cell extract (T), the supernatant (S13), and the pellet (P13) fractions were then separated by SDS-PAGE, and Atg9 distribution was analyzed by Western blotting using anti-PA antibodies. Efficient lysis and correct fractionation were assessed by verifying the partitioning of cytosolic Pgk1 and mitochondrial Por1. Mr is indicated in kilodaltons. (B) The S13 supernatants were fractionated on sucrose step-density gradients, and the fractions were analyzed by Western blotting using antisera against PA (for Atg9-PA), Pep12, Tlg1, and Pgk1. (C) Quantification of the immunoblots.
