Functional complementation of yeast mutants with modified LilKT1 proteins. (A) Single (LilKT1_K840D) and double mutations (LilKT1_G797D/K840D) of the di-acidic motifs in the C-terminus of LilKT1. (B) Expression of LilKT1 with a total deletion of the C-terminus (ΔCtermLilKT1) and expression of chimeric protein with the N-terminus of LilKT1 and the C-terminus of AKT1 (chimLilKT1) did partially complement the growth deficiency of PLY240 in low K+ media. (C) Detection of the C-terminal deleted and chimeric LilKT1 in the cytosolic (CF) and microsomal (MF) fraction of yeast cells (PLY240) using an anti-HA-tag antibody (1:10,000) and a goat anti-mouse IgG AP-conjugated antibody (1:50,000). Predicted molecular weight s for ΔCtermLilKT1 and chimLilKT1 are 47.6 and 106.8 kDa, respectively. Channels were cloned into pGREG535. (D) Fluorescence localization of GFP::yLilKT1/AKT1 chimera in yeast protoplasts (left) and cells (right). Bar = 5 μm.
