FIGURE 1:

Degradation of Swe1p is not affected by osmotic shock in the absence of feedback via Cdc28p. (A) Swe1p and septin-Swe1p levels rise and fall in parallel as cells traverse the cell cycle. Cells containing CDC28E12K to prevent Swe1p-mediated Cdc28p inhibition (DLY12321) were arrested in G1 with pheromone and released into fresh media at 30°C to traverse the cell cycle. Pheromone was reintroduced 60 min after release to rearrest cells at the next G1. Samples were taken at 15-min intervals and the levels of myc-tagged Swe1p and septin-Swe1p were analyzed by Western blotting with anti-myc (Cdc11p: loading control), and quantitated (graph). (B) Synchrony parameters (budding and nuclear division) for the experiment in (A) were scored for >200 cells per sample. (C) Swe1p and septin-Swe1p levels are unaffected by osmotic shock. Cells were treated as in (A), except that 0.4 M NaCl was added at 45 min. (D) Synchrony parameters for the experiment in (C) show that osmotic stress transiently perturbed bud formation and nuclear division. (E) A single-cycle synchrony experiment as in (A) was performed with strain DLY12034, which does not express septin-Swe1p. (F) Synchrony parameters for (E). (G) Cells were treated as in (E), except that 0.4 M NaCl was added at 45 min. (H) Synchrony parameters for (G).
