Figure 3. Dsn1-S240A,S250A levels correlate with viability.

Figure 3

(A) Dsn1-S240A,S250A cells are inviable. Serial dilutions (3-fold) of dsn1Δ cells containing DSN1 on a URA3, CEN vector and the indicated integrated point mutants (SBY2318, SBY5948, SBY5949, SBY5950) were plated. Cells that need to maintain the URA3, CEN vector for viability are sensitive to 5-FOA. (B) Dsn1-S240A,S250A protein levels are reduced. Whole cell extracts of Dsn1 and the indicated point mutants (SBY2153, SBY7864, SBY7865, SBY7867) were prepared and analyzed via immunoblot. (C) Overexpression of Dsn1-S240A,S250A restores protein levels. Whole cell extracts of the indicated Dsn1 mutants (SBY8766, SBY8521, SBY7373) were prepared and analyzed via immunoblot. (D) Overexpression of dsn1-S240A,S250A restores viability. Serial dilutions (3-fold) of dsn1Δ strains containing DSN1 on a URA3, CEN vector and a 2 µm LEU2 plasmid with the indicated point mutants (SBY7368, SBY7362, SBY7363, SBY7364 were plated on –ura leu and 5-FOA plates. We did not detect any obvious defect in cells overexpressing wild-type or mutant Dsn1 proteins.
