Fig. 1. Effect of krh1
krh2
mutations on
FLO11 induction, invasive growth and cell morphology. (A) RNA was
isolated from wild-type strain SKY763 (lane 1), krh1
strain
SKY.k1-2B (lane 2), krh2
strain SKY.k2-4C (lane 3),
krh1
krh2
strain HS182-1D (lane 4),
gpa2
strain BS13B (lane 5) and krh1
krh2
gpa2
strain HS183-3D (lane 6). The RNA
was transferred to nylon membrane, hybridized with a FLO11 probe, and
rehybridized with an ACT1 probe. The relative amount of
FLO11 RNA, normalized to ACT1 RNA, is shown below each lane.

strain SKY.k1-2B
(krh1
), krh2
strain SKY.k2-4C
(krh2

strain
HS182-1D (krh1

), gpa2
strain BS13B (gpa2
), krh1
krh2
gpa2
strain HS183-3D (krh1
krh2

), flo11
strain
HS184-5A (flo11
), and krh1
krh2
flo11
strain HS197-13D
(krh1
krh2
flo11
) were patched
onto YEPD/2.5% agar medium, incubated for 4 days at 25°C, and photographed
before (Total growth) and after (Invasive growth) rubbing the surface of the
plate with a glass rod under a stream of water. (C) Wild-type strain BS1B
(KRH1 KRH2) and double mutant strain HS154-3D (krh1
krh2
) were diluted 1:20 from an overnight saturated culture
into fresh YEPD medium and incubated at 30°C with shaking for 2 days. (D)
Wild-type strain BS1B (KRH1 KRH2) and double mutant strain HS154-3D
(krh1
krh2
) were patched onto YEPD plates and
incubated at 30°C for 5 days. Magnification: upper panel, 1x; lower
panel, 25x.
