Figure 6

Cell wall stress induces localization of CWI-responsive mRNAs to P-bodies. (a) Confocal microscopy images of wild-type (WT) cells containing Dcp2-mCherry, coexpressing MLP1/CRG1/SRL3 or PGK1-U1A mRNA and U1A-GFP protein to allow analysis of mRNA localization growing in the absence or presence of 0.8 U/ml ZY for two hours, are represented. Control cells expressing only U1A-GFP protein in the absence of target mRNA are shown (upper panel). The colored overlay images show a 4.4 times enlargement of the image sections included in the squares and depict examples where the mRNAs colocalize with P-bodies (white arrowheads). (b) The graphs display the quantitation of the mRNA granules shown in (a) from three independent experiments (n > 100 cells). (c) Quantification of mRNA granules (GFP foci) in strains described in (a), treated with 3 mM H2O2 or starved for glucose for 15 min, is shown in the graphs. Statistical significance was determined using a two-tailed, unpaired, Student’s t test by comparing with no treatment conditions (*P ≤ 0.05, **P ≤ 0.01, ***P ≤ 0.001; ns, not significant).
