Cac1p-S94A and Cac1p-S515A reduce the association of Cac1p with chromatin.
(A) Cells with a MYC-tagged genomic copy of CAC1
(lanes 1–3) or cac1Δ cells with plasmids expressing
FLAG-tagged Cac1p with no mutation (CAC1), lane 4, the indicated
point mutations (lanes 5–9) or empty plasmid (lane 10) were analyzed by the
PhosTagTM retardation assay as inFig. 1. “P” and arrows indicate the mobility of the
phosphorylated Cac1p-MYC (left) and Cac1p-FLAG (right). A parallel Western blot
without PhosTagTM is shown beneath. One of 2 independent experiments with
reproducible outcomes is shown. (B) Spheroplasts from
cac1Δ cells with plasmids for the expression of FLAG-tagged
Cac1p were lysed and spun to obtain the cytoplasm fractions (lanes 1–6) and
chromatin pellets (lanes 7–12). All samples were analyzed by Western blotting
with anti-FLAG, anti-PCNA, anti-Utp8p and anti-Adh1p antibodies. Utp8p and Adh1p
represent the purity of the chromatin and cytoplasm fractions, respectively. One of
2 independent experiments with reproducible outcomes is shown.
