Fig. 8. Arp2/3 complex mutants show typical actin patch-associated phenotypes.
A. Plate spotting assays were done as described in Fig. 1 legend. Arp2/3 complex mutants show similar cell wall and cell membrane defects as well as salt sensitivity as previously described for myo5Δ/Δ mutants.
B. Arp2/3 complex mutants showed aberrant cell wall deposition, indicating defects in cell separation (arrows). See also movie 2 (Supporting information) with arp2Δ/Δ cells that show cell separation defects. Logarithmically growing cells were stained with CFW directly in YPD media for 5 min, washed and visualized. Bar = 10 μm.
