CaAkl1 is a repressor of fluid-phase endocytosis. (A) Homology tree of the Polo and Ark/Prk kinases of S. cerevisiae and C. albicans aligned using T-COFFEE (Di Tommaso et al., 2011). (B) LY uptake in wild-type cells overexpressing AKL1 under the MAL2 promoter (KC 817) vs. vector plasmid (KC816). (C) LY uptake in wild-type (KC274) cells, the AKL1+/− heterozygote (KC553), the akl1−/− deletion homozygote (KC554), akl1−/− with vector plasmid (KC824) or with AKL1 plasmid (KC825). Overnight cultures were shifted from YEP + 2% raffinose to YEP + 2% maltose (B) or diluted in YPD (C) and incubated at 37° for 2.5 h before carrying out the assays. The error bars indicate the standard deviation between three independent cultures.
