Sensitivity of SWI/SNF deletion strains to heat shock.

Notes: (A) SWI/SNF deletion strains were tested for heat sensitivity. Serial dilutions of the cells were plated onto YPD agar plates and incubated at 30°C (untreated controls) and at 37°C (heat shock). Growth was scored at 72 hours. Positive controls sensitive to heat shock is the ydj1 deletion strain. (B) Survival was determined by growth of the heat-shocked strain relative to the growth of non-heat-shocked cells. At least three sets of experiments were used in the statistical analysis. Average survival plus standard deviation is shown.

Abbreviations: YPD, yeast extract/peptone/dextrose; WT, wild type; Dil, serial dilutions.
