Fig 7. YMB1670 transformants containing p416CYC1E2 and derived plasmids expressing mutated E2 proteins were labeled with 35S-methionine, and extracted proteins were immunoprecipitated with E2-specific antibody B201. Precipitated proteins were separated by SDS/PAGE. The position of the E2 proteins is indicated by the arrow. Although A1 and C9 proteins are at reduced levels, they are able to support plasmid maintenance.

Representative liquid culture assay of YMB1670 transformants with pADNS-Brd4, individual reporter plasmids (see Fig. 1B), and p416CYC1 plasmids expressing WT or mutated E2 proteins, as indicated. Percent plasmid retention was calculated by dividing the number of colonies on the selective plates by the number of colonies on the nonselective plates.
