Fig. 2. Binding partners of Pex12p. Pex12-C_ub-RUra3p containing cells expressing the indicated N_ub fusion proteins were grown on SD-media and diluted in water. 4 µl of an OD₆₀₀ of 1, and of tenfold serial dilutions were spotted onto media either lacking uracil (A) or containing both uracil and 5'-FOA (B) or containing only uracil (C). (D) as in (A) but with cells lacking the gene encoding the recognition component of the N-end rule UBR1. All plates contained 100 µM CuSO₄ to induce the P_CUP1-promotor and were lacking tryptophan and histidine to select for the plasmids. Cells were incubated at 30°C for 48 hours. Interactions between the N_ub and C_ub fusions are indicated in the UBR1 cells by the growth of the construct containing cells on 5-FOA and by the non-growth on SD-ura.
