Fig. 4. Drosophila vha55 complements
vma2 in yeast. The Drosophila vha55 gene was cloned into in plasmid p415 met 25 (low copy, left), or p425 met 25 (high copy, right). 1, empty vector in wt yeast; 2, vma2 in wt yeast; 3, vha55 in wt yeast; 4, vha55::GFP construct in wt yeast; 5, vha55-ORF construct in wt yeast; 6, vha55::GFP in
vma2 strain; 7, vha55-ORF in
vma2; 8, vha55 in
vma2; 9, VMA2 in
vma2; 10, empty vector in
vma2. (The upper panel plates were permissive: Leu-, Met-, pH 5.0; the lower panel plates were restrictive: Leu-, Met-, pH 7.5. Only yeast with functional V-ATPase can grow at pH 7.5.)
