Genetic interactions of Asp1 and Aps1 with the Pol2 CTD impact phosphate homeostasis. (A–C) Strains with the indicated genotypes were grown in liquid culture at 30°C and assayed for acid phosphatase activity. (A) The results show that de-repression of Pho1 by CTD-S7A requires the IPP kinase activity of Asp1. (B) The results show that CTD Thr4 is necessary for de-repression of Pho1 by the asp1 pyrophosphatase-dead H397A allele. (C) The results show that: (i) CTD Thr4 is necessary for de-repression of Pho1 by aps1Δ; and (ii) simultaneous inactivation of Asp1 and Aps1 pyrophosphatases overrides the hyper-repression of Pho1 by CTD-T4A. (D) Strains with the indicated genotypes were spot tested for growth on YES agar at the temperatures specified.
