FIGURE 9:

(A) The C-terminus of Chs3p is not sufficient for exomer-dependent cargo export. Replacement of the cytosolic domain of Kex2p, a TGN-resident protein, with the Chs3p C-terminus did not direct Kex2ΔC-Chs3CT-GFP to the plasma membrane. Kex2ΔC-Chs3CT-GFP was localized to the vacuolar lumen, whereas Kex2ΔC-GFP localized to the vacuolar rim, indicating an influence of the Chs3p C-terminus on Kex2p sorting. Kex2-GFP, C-terminally truncated Kex2ΔC-GFP, and the Kex2ΔC-Chs3CT-GFP chimera were chromosomally expressed. Sec7-dsRed was used as a TGN marker. Scale bar, 5 μm. (B) Kex2ΔC-Chs3CT-GFP does not traffic to the plasma membrane, and its localization is exomer independent. To assess potential trafficking through the plasma membrane, the localization of chromosomally expressed Kex2ΔC-GFP and the Kex2ΔC-Chs3CT-GFP was assessed in a Δend3, endocytosis-deficient strain. Kex2ΔC-GFP and Kex2ΔC-Chs3CT-GFP exomer-dependent localization was assessed in a Δchs5 strain. Scale bars, 5 μm.
