Figure 2(A) After 4 h of starvation in 1% K‐acetate medium in the presence of PMSF, autophagic vesicles can be visualized in vacuoles of wild‐type and pep4prb1 cells using Normaski optics. In aut2Δ and aut7Δ cells no autophagic vesicles can be seen. Bar represents 20 μm.(B) Total protein breakdown of cells starved on nitrogen‐free medium is significantly reduced in aut2Δ and aut7Δ cells compared with wild‐type cells. pep4Δ (pra1Δ) cells are almost completely impaired in starvation‐induced vacuolar protein breakdown. Cells were pulse‐labeled with [35S]methionine and chased on non‐radioactive starvation medium. Aliquots were taken at the indicated times and acid soluble small peptides generated by proteolysis were determined according to Straub et al. (1997).(C) Survival during starvation. Like pep4Δ (pra1Δ) cells, which are almost completely impaired in vacuolar proteolysis, aut2Δ and aut7Δ cells exhibit a significantly reduced survival rate during starvation on nitrogen‐free medium as compared with wild‐type cells. Aliquots of cells incubated in 1% K‐acetate were plated and growing colonies were determined according to Straub et al. (1997).

Figure 5(A) Detection of protein-protein interactions using the two‐hybrid system. Intense staining indicates an interaction between Aut2p and Aut7p, Aut2p and Tub1p, and Aut2p and Tub2p. AUT7, TUB1 and TUB2 are cloned in‐frame with the GAL4‐activator domain. AUT2 and AUT7 were fused to the GAL4‐binding domain (see Materials and methods).(B) Affinity chromatography confirms protein-protein interaction between Aut2p and Aut7p. A fusion protein of Aut2p with the 26 kDa glutathione‐S‐transferase (GST) domain from Schistosoma japonicum (see Materials and methods) was bound to glutathione-Sepharose 4B. This GST-Aut2p column was incubated with a crude extract from aut7Δ cen Met25::AUT7-GFP cells. The non‐bound supernatant (S) fraction (lane 1) was taken away. Gel beads were successively washed with NaCl solutions of increasing concentrations to remove non‐specifically bound proteins. After the final 500 mM NaCl wash (W, lane 2), bound proteins were eluted with Laemmli buffer (E, lane 3). Samples were analyzed in immunoblots with monoclonal antibodies directed against GFP. Using Aut2p-GST, a clear band corresponding to Aut7p-GFP is seen in the eluate fraction (lane 3, arrowhead). As a control, GST alone was attached to the column and no band was detectable (lane 6).(C) As described in (B), bovine tubulin binds to GST-Aut2p glutathione-Sepharose 4B (lane 12), but not to GST glutathione-Sepharose 4B (lane 9). Protein staining with Coomassie is shown in lanes 1-6; in lanes 7-12 tubulin was detected using monoclonal antibodies (Boehringer Mannheim). Further details are given in Materials and methods.(D) Similar to (C), bovine tubulin does not bind to GST-Aut7p glutathione-Sepharose 4B (lane 12) and to GST glutathione-Sepharose 4B (lane 9). Lanes 1-6, protein staining with Coomassie; lanes 7-12 probed with antibodies directed against tubulin.

Figure 7(A) Autophagosome‐like vesicles (arrowhead) are accumulating in the cytoplasm of aut2Δ cells starved for 4 h on 1% K‐acetate in the presence of PMSF.

Arrowheads indicate the clearly distinguishable two membrane layers. Bar represents 100 nm.(C and D) Cytosol containing autophagosome‐like vesicles accumulating in the cytosol of aut2Δ cells (D) can be isolated with an additional 100 000 g centrifugation step yielding a P100 pellet fraction. In wild‐type cells (C), no P100 is detectable. Fatty acid synthase (Fas) was used as a cytosolic protein. Further details are given in the text.
