Table 1. Motility rates for Myo2p purified with and without Rng3p function.
Shift time (hours)* | 25°C (µm/sec) | 37°C (µm/sec) | ||
16 | wild-type | 0.42±0.12 | 0.40±0.14 | |
rng3-65 | 0.30±0.10 | 0.03±0.02 | ||
22 | wild-type | 0.46±0.07 | 0.42±0.06 | |
rng3-65 | 0.34±0.05 | 0.32±0.06 |
All values are the mean filament velocity ± SD.
Shift time is the amount of time following the induction of Myo2p over-expression at which cells were shifted to 37°C to attenuate Rng3p function (in the rng3-65 strain). Values for wild-type cells are provided as a control. 25°C values represent internal controls that were not shifted to 37°C. At the 16 hour shift Rng3p function is compromised prior to Myo2p over-expression; at the 22 hour shift Rng3p function is compromised following over-expression of Myo2p (see Figure 2A).
