Overexpression of Oep37 can partially complement the por1Δ phenotype. A, expression of Oep37 does not interfere with growth on a nonfermentable carbon source. Cells harboring either a plasmid encoding Oep37 or an empty plasmid (Ø) as control were tested by drop dilution assay for their ability to grow on glycerol-containing medium (YPG) at 30 and 37 °C. B, wild-type cells harboring an empty plasmid (Ø) and cells deleted for POR1 (por1Δ) that were transformed with either an empty plasmid (Ø) or a plasmid encoding Oep37 were tested by drop dilution assay for their ability to grow at 30 °C on rich (YPG) or synthetic glycerol-containing medium (SG-Leu).
