ExoUP. aer, ExoUP. flu, and ExoUP. asy localize to the plasma membrane of yeast in a PI(4,5)P2-dependent fashion.
A, PI(4,5)P2 localization was visualized in wild-type (WT) and Δinp54/Δsac1 yeast by the expression of GFP-tagged pleckstrin homology domain from phospholipase C. Yeast were visualized using fluorescence confocal microscopy. B, GFP-tagged catalytically inactive ExoU proteins were visualized by fluorescence confocal microscopy following expression in yeast. The insets show individual yeast cells magnified ×15. ExoUP. asy-MLD refers to the membrane localization domain of ExoUP. asy Scale bars, 25 μm.
