Blm10(-339aa) localization. The truncated Blm10 protein was induced with 50 μM copper because this concentration produced a stable protein and functionally relieved drug hypersensitivity. The representative wild-type cells illustrate two populations of cells, one unbudded (A) and the other budded (B and C). The nuclear localization is maintained in unbudded cells, in contrast to the bud-neck localization in budded cells. Top row: phase contrast. Middle row: DAPI staining of DNA. Bottom row: cells after GST antibody staining. Column A: unbudded cells. Columns B and C: different populations of budded cells. Column D: cells expressing GST but not Blm10. Column E: no antibody treatment. Because of the truncated protein, these cells are somewhat distended. In addition, before treatments with DAPI and anti-GST antibody, cells are converted to spheroplasts, which causes distortion of cells that have lost their cell wall integrity.
