Fig. 2. Influence of erv46 and vma21 deletion mutations on
factor precursor transport and packaging into COPII vesicles. (A) Washed semi-intact wild-type (BY4742), erv46
(SOY01409), vma21
(SOY01629) or erv46
vma21
(SOY01655) cells containing 35S-labelled gp
f were incubated without (NA) or with purified COPII subunits, Uso1p and LMA1 (Recon) in the presence of an ATP regeneration system. After 90 minutes at 23°C, outer-chain modified 35S-gp
f was immunoprecipitated and amounts were plotted relative to 35S-gp
f precipitated on concanavalin A beads. (B) Washed microsomes prepared from the same strains as in A containing 35S-gp
f were incubated without (NA) or with purified COPII subunits (COPII) in the presence of an ATP regeneration system. After 20 minutes at 23°C, the relative amounts of gp
f in the diffusible vesicle fraction were measured. All assays were performed in duplicate and error bars represent the range.
