Ubiquitin proteasome pathway (UPP) enzymes Ubc4, Rad23 and Dsk2 do not interfere with Yap8 stability in arsenic-exposed cells. BY4742 wild type (WT), ubc4 (A), rad23 (B) and dsk2 (C) mutant strains expressing Yap8-HA were first exposed to 1.5 mM As(III) for 90 min, washed and subsequently treated with 0.1 mg/ml cycloheximide (CHX) up to 120 min prior to immunoblotting using anti-HA and anti-Pgk1 antibodies. The graphs represent the percentage of remaining Yap8 protein after CHX addition. Representative experiments are shown. (D) ACR3 mRNA levels remain unaltered in ubc4, rad23 and dsk2 mutant cells. The same strains were challenged with 1.5 mM As(III) for 90 min and ACR3 mRNA levels were determined by qRT-PCR (AU, Arbitrary Units). Values represent the mean±s.d. of three biological replicates. No significant statistical differences were observed.
