(A–J) FRAP analysis of the pnER and cER of Kar2-sfGFP-expressing WT (A and F), slt2Δ (B and G), rtn1Δrtn2Δyop1Δ (C and H), rtn1Δrtn2Δyop1Δsey1Δ (D and I), and rtn1Δrtn2Δyop1Δlnp1Δ cells (E and J). Graphs are the mean ± SD of 3 experiments, each examining ≥7 cells.
(K–O) Quantification of cER inheritance in WT (K), rtn1Δrtn2Δyop1Δ (L), slt2Δ (M), rtn1Δrtn2Δyop1Δsey1Δ (N), and rtn1Δrtn2Δyop1Δlnp1Δ cells (O) expressing Hmg1-GFP. Cells were treated with DMSO (dark blue) or Tm (pale blue) and cER inheritance was scored as described in Figure 3I–J. Graphs show the mean ± SD of 3 experiments, each with ≥200 cells counted.
(P) Quantitation of early ER tubule formation in WT, slt2Δ, rtn1Δrtn2Δyop1Δ, rtn1Δrtn2Δyop1Δlnp1Δ, and rtn1Δrtn2Δyop1Δsey1Δ cells expressing Hmg1-GFP. Cells were treated with DMSO or Tm for 3 hr. Quantitations are the mean ± SD of 3 experiments, each analyzing ≥40 cells.
(Q) Correlation of the block in initial tubule formation [100 – 100 × (% tubule formation with Tm)/(% tubule formation with DMSO)] (Figure 4K–4O) and cER inheritance [100 – 100 × (% cER inheritance with Tm)/(% cER inheritance with DMSO)] (Figure 4P) for WT, slt2Δ, rtn1Δrtn2Δyop1Δ, rtn1Δrtn2Δyop1Δlnp1Δ, and rtn1Δrtn2Δyop1Δsey1Δ cells expressing Hmg1-GFP. The data represent the mean ± SD of 3 experiments. See also Figures S3 and S4.
