Ura3-Yck2 fusion proteins delineate MPD. Ura3-Yck2 constructs, derived by fusing the indicated C-terminal portions of Yck2 to the C terminus of N-terminally FLAG/HA-tagged Ura3, were expressed from single-copy CEN/ARS plasmids via a 2-h, galactose-induced expression period. (A) Ura3-Yck2 fusion protein schematic. The Yck2 portion of each fusion protein is shown, with amino acid coordinates of the added Yck2 indicated at right. (B) IIF microscopy of Ura3-Yck2 fusion proteins. Fusion proteins were detected via their N-terminal HA epitope tag, using anti HA.11 mAb. The amino acid coordinates of the attached Yck2 portion for each fusion are indicated. Top, the localizations of GAL1P-driven copies of the Ura3 and Yck2 parental proteins. (C) Ura3-Yck2 palmitoylation. Denatured protein extracts prepared from cells expressing the indicated Ura3-Yck2 fusions were subjected to ABE, which replaces thioester-linked acyl modifications with biotin (see Materials and Methods). Subsequently, fusion proteins were immunoprecipitated using anti-FLAG mAb and then subjected to Western analysis either with anti-biotin antibody or with anti-HA.11 mAb. (D) Effect of various internal in-frame deletions on the MPD-driven palmitoylation of the Ura3-Yck2(505-546) fusion. Left, the positions of the different MPD deletions are indicated. Right, the ABE analysis of these constructs is shown.
