Fig. 4. Loss of Vps20p or Vta1p causes only slightly altered kinetics of {alpha}-factor internalisation. Wild-type (RH1800) and vps20{Delta} (AMY174), and wild-type (AMY165) and vta1{Delta} (AMY162) cells were grown to early exponential phase and assayed for [35S]{alpha}-factor internalisation at 30°C. After addition of the [35S]{alpha}-factor, samples were taken in duplicate at various time points and washed in either phosphate buffer pH 6 (removes unbound [35S]{alpha}-factor) or citrate buffer pH 1 (removes bound but non-internalised [35S]{alpha}-factor). Shown is the internalised {alpha}-factor as a percentage of the bound {alpha}-factor at each time point.
