Fig. 3. Vps30 and Vps38 protein functions are required for stability of the
Golgi-localized Kex2 protease. Wild-type (SEY6210),
vps30
(JCY300),
vps38 (PBY58) and
vps35 (EMY18)
cells carrying plasmid pPB1 (KEX2-HA) were grown to early log phase
and labeled with [35S] methionine/cysteine at 26°C for 20
minutes followed by the addition of excess non-labeled amino acids (chase).
Samples were removed at 0 and 90 minutes after the addition of chase. Kex2-HA
(upper panel) was immunoprecipitated from cell lysates using HA-specific
antibodies. The same cell lysates were then re-immunoprecipitated with
G6PDH-specific antibodies (lower pannel). Kex2-HA and G6PDH were resolved by
SDS-PAGE and visualized by autoradiography.
