Fig. 6. Delayed differentiation of TRAP1OE cells and TRAP1OE/dia1 cells. (A) TRAP1OE and parental Ax-2 cells grown at 1-2x106 cells/ml were separately harvested, starved and plated either in a 24-well plate at 5x105 cells/cm2 (a-d) or on non-nutrient agar at 2.5x105 cells/cm2 (e-h). This was followed by incubation for the indicated times at 22°C. Bars, 200 µm (a-d); 500 µm (e-h). (B) Expression patterns of car1, dia3, lagC, dia1 and csA in starved TRAP1OE cells. At the indicated times of starvation, total RNAs were extracted from TRAP1OE and parental Ax-2 cells. The RNAs (20 µg for each) were size-fractionated and analyzed by northern blots using the cDNA probe of each gene. In starved TRAP1OE cells, dia1 and csA genes are expressed early, while the expression patterns of car1, dia3 and lagC genes are rather delayed. (C) dia1 and TRAP1OE/dia1 cells grown at 1-2x106 cells/ml were separately harvested, starved and plated either in a 24-well plate at 5x105 cells/cm2 (a-d) or on non-nutrient agar at 2.5x105 cells/cm2 (e-h). This was followed by incubation for the indicated times at 22°C. Bars, 200 µm (a-d); 500 µm (e-h).
