RNA mediates the interaction between TORC1 and P-body components under glucose starvation (A) Comparison of promoter strengths. The mRNA expression levels of TOR1 and KOG1 under different promoters were compared. The mRNA levels of TOR1 and KOG1 were normalized against those of ACT1. Numbers indicate fold increases compared with TOR1 and KOG1 expressed from their own promoters. Error bars represent SD. (B) Protein expression levels of Kog1 under different promoters. The relative ratio of Kog1 to hexokinase was calculated, and the mean ± SD of triplicate experiments is shown below each lane. (C–F) Interaction between TORC1 and P-body components. Immunoprecipitation was performed with anti-c-Myc antibody, and coimmunoprecipitated GFP-Kog1 or GFP-Tor1 was detected by Western blotting with anti-GFP antibody. The relative ratio of coimmunoprecipitated Kog1-GFP or Tor1-GFP to input proteins is shown below each lane. (C) Interaction between Kog1 and P-body components under glucose starvation. (D) Interaction between Tor1 and a P-body component Dhh1 in cells with cycloheximide treatment, edc3Δ lsm4ΔC double mutation, or Ego1-conjugated Tor1. For cycloheximide treatment, cells were pretreated with cycloheximide 10 min before glucose starvation. (E) Interaction between Tor1 and a P-body component Pat1 in cells with cycloheximide treatment or Ego1-conjugated Tor1. (F) Interaction between Tor1 and a P-body component Xrn1 in cells with cycloheximide treatment or edc3Δ lsm4ΔC double mutation. (G) Interaction between Tor1 and Gtr1 under glucose starvation or RNase treatment.
