Figure 8. Effect of GFP-AVP1 on vacuolar fission activity.

Figure 8

(A) AVP1 expression impairs vacuole fragmentation. Wildtype cells (BY4741) and cells expressing GFP-AVP1 (SVY12) were grown logarithmically in SC medium and labeled with FM4-64. NaCl was added to a final concentration of 0.5 M NaCl (t = 0 min) to induce vacuole fragmentation. During the following 12 min of incubation at 30 °C, the cells were analyzed by taking stacks of confocal images. Maximum-intensity projections of FM4-64 fluorescence in the stacks are shown, covering 6 μm in the z-direction. (B) Classification of the cells shown in panel A according to the number of vacuoles per cell. 200–400 cells were analyzed per strain (n = 3–5).
