Figure 1

Strains lacking components of mRNA surveillance pathways have higher levels of protein aggregation. (A) Hsp104-RFP was visualized in wild-type and mutant strains disrupted for NGD (dom34, hbs1), NMD (upf1, upf2), NSD (ski7) and the Ski complex (ski8). Examples of cells containing visible puncta are shown. (B) The percentage of cells containing visible Hsp104-RFP puncta is quantified for each strain. Data shown are the means of three independent biological repeat experiments ± SD. Significance is shown compared with the wild-type strain; ***p < 0.001. (C) Western blot analysis of Hsp104 protein levels. Blots were probed with a Pgk1 antibody as a loading control. The full blots are shown in Supplementary Fig. 1.
