Table II. Sap30 and Cth1 require cyclophilin A to suppress ess1ts mutations.
| Plasmid | Suppression of ess1 cpr1 double mutanta | CsA sensitivity of ess1ts strain at 37°Cb | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vector | no | (13%, n = 15) | n.d. |
| YEpESS1 | yes | (43%, n = 23) | resistant |
| pYKL005C | yes | (31%, n = 26) | resistant |
| pFCP1 | yes | (55%, n = 20) | resistant |
| pSAP30 | no | (0%, n = 17) | sensitive |
| pCTH1 | no | (0%, n = 7) | sensitive |
| pCPR1 | yes | (50%, n = 4) | sensitive |
| pCaRPB7 | yes | (33%, n = 12) | resistant |
aDiploid strain ess1A144T/ESS1 cpr1Δ::LEU2/CPR1 was transformed with the multicopy suppressors or control plasmids (pRS426 vector, YEpESS1). Cells were sporulated and at least 20 tetrads were dissected. Similar data were obtained with the ess1H164R allele (not shown). Segregants were replica-plated to medium lacking leucine at 37°C to detect those carrying the cpr1Δ::LEU2 allele, to medium lacking uracil to detect those containing the indicated URA3 plasmids, and to 5-FOA-medium to test the ability to lose the suppressor plasmid. 5-FOA-resistant cells are inferred to contain wild-type ESS1 rather than ess1A144T. The values (% suppression) are given as the percentage of cells that are viable at 37°C and are 5-FOAS among total segregants that are Leu+ (contain the cpr1 disruption) and Ura+ (contain the suppressor plasmid); n = total number of Leu+ Ura+ segregants. Maximum values would be 50% (the ess1ts/ESS1 alleles segregate 2:2).
bResults are for two ess1ts strains (A144T and H164R). Sensitivity was tested on plates containing up to 100 µg/ml CsA. n.d. = not determined, since the ess1ts mutant lacking a suppressor is inviable at 37°C.
