Flr1 is required but not sufficient for the increase of Yap1-dependent caffeine tolerance. (A) 10-fold serial dilutions of yeast mutant strains were spotted on YEPD media containing caffeine and incubated for 3 days at 30°C. (B) RT-PCR analysis of YAP1 and FLR1 expressed in WT, yap1, flr1, and strains overexpressing YAP1 or FLR1. ACT1 as a loading control. The numbers of PCR cycles used are 28 (YAP1), 22 (FLR1) and 25 (ACT1), respectively. (C) 10-fold serial dilution of yeast strains with YAP1 or FLR1 overexpression were spotted on SD/-URA media containing diamide and incubated for 3 days at 30°C. (D) 10-fold serial dilutions of yeast mutant strains with FLR1 overexpression plasmids were spotted on SD/-URA media containing caffeine and incubated for 3 days at 30°C.
