Article Title: Disruption of the nascent polypeptide-associated complex leads to reduced polyglutamine aggregation and toxicity
doi: 10.1101/2024.04.19.590245
Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Yeast 74-D694 WT and NAC deletion strains expressing Gal1-inducible EV, htt25Q, or htt103Q constructs were serially diluted 5-fold and spotted onto ¼ YPD (not shown), SD-ura, and S-ura, 2% galactose (first 3 spots shown) to monitor expanded polyglutamine toxicity and the ability of nac deletion to rescue expanded polyglutamine cytotoxicity (n=3). (B) A yeast 74-D694 WT strain expressing EV, EGD2, or EGD1 constructs in combination with Gal-inducible EV or htt103Q constructs were serially diluted 5-fold on ¼ YPD (not shown), SD-ura-his, and S-ura-his, 2% galactose, 0.1% raffinose (first three spots shown) to evaluate expanded polyglutamine toxicity and the ability of EGD1 and EGD2 overexpression to rescue expanded polyglutamine cytotoxicity (n=3).
Article Snippet: Plasmids expressing alpha-synuclein constructs controlled by the inducible GAL1 promoter (pRS426-Gal1-SNCA WT -GFP, pRS426-Gal1-SNCA A30P -GFP, pRS426-Gal1-SNCA A53T -GFP) were kindly gifted by M. Jackrel. pTH726-CEN-RLuc/minCFLuc and pTH727-CEN-RLuc/staCFLuc were a gift from Tobias von der Haar (Addgene plasmid # 38210 and 38211).
