Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Experimental design for glucose (glc) recovery experiments. Cells were grown in YPD (+G), then starved in media lacking glc for 20 min (-G) and recovered upon re-addition of glc for 20 min (R). (B) Immunoblot of input extracts (left) and RIC eluates (right) from glc recovery experiments at indicated stages (+G, -G, R). Monitored proteins are labelled to the right; a molecular weight marker is indicated to the left. (C) Polysomal absorbance profiles of pfk1Δ and pfk2Δ cells grown in YPD medium are shown at the top. Fractions numbers are indicated and those containing polysomes are highlighted in purple. Immunoblot analysis of fractions monitoring the distribution of Pfk1p and Pfk2p; and upon treatment of extracts with 30 mM EDTA to dissociate ribosomes (see Methods; Figure S3) are given below. Rpl35p is a ribosomal protein of the large subunit, Act1p is a non-ribosomal associated control protein. (D) Distribution of CLN3 , BUB3 and ACT1 mRNA levels across sub-polysomal and polysomal fractions (purple) obtained from wild-type (wt; grey), pfk1Δ (blue) and pfk2Δ (red) cells. RNA was isolated from each fraction and quantified by RT-qPCR. The y -axis denotes mRNA levels in each fraction calculated as the percentage of the total (mean values ± stdev, n=3). (E) BUB3 , and CLN3 mRNA levels relative to ACT1 levels determined by RT-qPCR in total RNA isolated from wt, pfk1Δ and pfk2Δ cells (mean values ± stdev, n=3). * p < 0.05 (student’s t -test).
Article Snippet: The CDSs were then subcloned into the pDEST17 gateway vector (ThermoFisher, 11803012) using LR clonase II kit to generate pDEST17-Pfk1 and pDEST17-Pfk2 expression vectors (ThermoFisher, 12538120).
