Phosphorylation controls the activity of SCE1.
A, schematic of SCE1 and position of identified phosphorylation sites. TM, transmembrane. B, localization of SCE1M1, SCE1M2, SCE1N1, and SCE1N2 and staining with α-HA and α-GAP45. C, Western blot of complemented lines and staining with α-HA and α-GAP45 as a loading control. D, SCE1-phosphomutant complementation egress assay, stimulated with A23187 for 3 min. Δsce1 (i), Δcdpk3 (ii), and Δcdpk3Δsce1 (iii) backgrounds were complemented with SCE1wt and two sets of phosphomimetic (SCE1M1, SCE1M2) or phospho-null (SCE1N1, SCE1N2) mutants. Error bars show mean ± S.D. *, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.001. All statistical tests were performed using two-way ANOVA and Tukey correction for multiple comparisons. The data were derived from three independent biological replicates.
