Analysis of non-stop decay (NSD) in ski7 and SKI complex mutants. (A) A Protein A-non-stop reporter construct was used to monitor NSD (NSD construct). This construct contains the GAL1 promoter, the Protein A coding region lacking its normal stop codon and the PGK1 3΄UTR lacking other in frame stop codons (26). A similar construct where Protein A contains its normal stop codon was used for comparison (Stop construct). (B) Protein extracts were isolated from wild-type and ski mutant strains expressing Protein A-non-stop protein and analyzed by western blotting. Strains were grown in the absence or presence of 0.5 mM H2O2 for 6 h. Blots were probed with a Protein A antibody (NSD) and an actin antibody as a loading control. Control denotes a wild-type strain containing an empty vector. (C) Quantification of Protein A production as shown in panel B from triplicate experiments. Error bars denote standard deviation (SD).
