Yeast Srv2 Interacts with Mitochondrial Fission GTPase Dnm1
(A) Phylogenetic tree of Srv2/CAP proteins in different organisms.
(B) Srv2 was fused with the TAP tag, and Dnm1 was tagged with HA epitope. Following calmodulin-affinity chromatography, Srv2-Dnm1 co-precipitation was revealed by immunoblotting for HA. Porin was used as negative control. Note that the Srv2 antibody is less sensitive to Srv2-TAP than Srv2.
(C) Yeasts transformed with DNM1-GFP1∼10 + GFP11, GFP1∼10 + SRV2-GFP11, or DNM1-GFP1∼10 + SRV2-GFP11 were examined using the BiFC assay. mt-DsRed was expressed to label mitochondria. The BiFC signal of SRV2-GFP11 and DNM1-GFP1∼10 revealed the specific interaction of Srv2 with Dnm1 on mitochondria in living cells. Scale bars represent 5 μm.
