Figure 8. Fast Fzo1 turnover is compatible with mitochondrial fusion upon low UFAs.

Figure 8

(a) Top: CHX chase analysed by anti-Fzo1 and anti-Pgk1 immunoblotting with WT and mga2Δ cells (DF5 background). MW in kDa are shown on the right of indicated regions of immunoblots. Bottom: quantification of CHX chases. Error bars represent the s.e.m. from three independent experiments. (b) Dextrose and glycerol spot assays with WT, ubp2Δ, mga2Δ and ubp2Δ mga2Δ (clone 3) cells (DF5 background) transformed with an empty plasmid (Vector) or pRS314-FZO1 (FZO1). (c) Percentage of cells with tubular (blue) or fragmented/aggregated (green) mitochondria from strains used in b but transformed with pRS314-FZO1. Error bars represent the s.d. from three independent experiments. **P<0.05, ***P<0.005 (one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA)). NS, not significant. More than 95 cells were analysed per sample. (d) Total protein extracts prepared from strains in b were analysed by anti-Fzo1 and anti-Pgk1 immunoblotting. MW in kDa are shown on the right of indicated regions of immunoblots. (e) Dextrose and glycerol spot assays with ubp2Δ mga2Δ (clone 3) cells (DF5 background) transformed with an empty plasmid (Vector), pRS314-FZO1 (FZO1) or pRS314-FZO1 K398R (K398R).
