The phosphorylated TRBP isoform efficiently reverses PKR’s growth inhibition phenotype in yeast. (A) Yeast growth inhibition assay. Yeast INVSc1 cells were co-transformed with wt PKR/pYES2 and empty vector pYES3CT (PKR alone), wt PKR/pYES2 and K296R PKR/pYES3CT (PKR+K296R), wt PKR/pYES2 and wt TRBP/pYES3CT (PKR+wtTRBP), wt PKR/pYES2 and AAAA TRBP/pYES3CT (PKR+AAAA), or wt PKR/pYES2 and DDDD TRBP/pYES3CT (PKR + DDDD). Ten microliters of transformed yeast cells (OD600 = 10, 1, 0.1, 0.01) were spotted on double dropout media (-uracil, - tryptophan) with either glucose (+GLU) or galactose (+GAL) as sole carbon source. Plates were incubated for three days at 30 °C. Transformation of INVSc1 with wt PKR/pYES2 and empty vector pYES3CT served as a control showing growth inhibition on galactose plates, while transformation with wtPKR/pYES2 and K296R PKR/pYES3CT served as a positive control for inhibition of PKR and a reversal of growth inhibition phenotype.
