Figure 4. Gcn4p Protein Levels Are Upregulated during the UPR.

Figure 4

(A) Gcn4p levels, but not eIF-2α phosphorylation, rise under ER stress in a UPR-dependent manner. Cells bearing a C-terminally myc-tagged allele of GCN4 were treated with Tm for 0, 15, 30, 60, or 120 min. Western blots probed with anti-myc recognizing Gcn4p-myc (top panels) or phospho-specific anti-eIF-2α antibody (bottom panel). Gcn4p blot for the Δgcn2 mutant is 5x overexposed so that the bands are visible.

(B) Quantitation of the Gcn4p-myc protein levels in Figure 4A. Data reflect an average of four experiments, normalized against Gcn4p levels in the WT t = 0 samples.
