(A) Domain organization of Snf7 mutants (left) and quantitative MVB sorting data (right) for vps20Δ yeast exogenously expressing empty vector, VPS20, SNF7, snf7Q90L, snf7N100I, snf7R52E, snf7R52E Q90L, snf7R52E Q90L N100I, myr-snf7, myr-snf7R52E Q90L, and myr-snf7R52E Q90L N100I. Error bars represent standard deviations from 3–5 independent experiments. The data of myr-snf7 (vps201-5-snf711-240) and SNF7 were re-plotted from Figure 1A for comparsion. Mutants myr-snf7R52E Q90L and myr-snf7R52E Q90L N100I are referred to snf7** and snf7***, respectively. (B) Representative images of vps20Δ yeast exogenously expressing GFP-CPS1 with VPS20, snf7**, and snf7***. GFP images (left) and composite images of GFP and DIC (right). (C) Canavanine sensitivity assay for vps20Δ yeast exogenously expressing empty vector, VPS20, SNF7, snf7**, and snf7***. (D) Representative TEM images of ILV-containing MVBs from vps20Δ vam7Δ yeast exogenously expressing vam7tsf, with VPS20, snf7**, and snf7***. Scale bars 100 nm. (E–F) Quantitation of ILV (N=150 ILV summed per sample) outer diameter from (D) in frequency distributions (E), and averaged measurements (F). Error bars represent standard deviations.
