A-D In vitro ubiquitylation assays with purified proteins. As ubiquitin is covalently attached to the substrate lysine residue, the appearance of higher molecular weight protein bands reflects the modification of the protein with ubiquitin. All assays contain purified UBE1, UBE2D3, ubiquitin, 0.1 mM ATP, 1 mM MgCl2 and were buffered in 50 mM HEPES, 150 mM NaCl and incubated at 30°C for the time indicated. Reactions were stopped by the addition of SDS-Laemmli buffer to a concentration of 1×. SDS-PAGE, staining with Coomassie blue, or detection with the indicated antibody following immunoblotting enabled the visualisation of ubiquitylation. (A) to determine the relative modification of KLHL3 by CUL3WT and CUL3Δ403-459, KLHL3 was included into the reaction at 2× molar concentration over CUL3WT and CUL3Δ403-459. (B, C) Reactions serve to determine basal auto-ubiquitylation of CUL3WT or CUL3Δ403-459 and do not contain KLHL3 or other potential substrate proteins. Lysine residues on CUL3WT or CUL3Δ403-459 act as the substrate. (B) High molecular weight bands reflect ubiquitin chain linkages on CUL3 or the multiple mono-ubiquitylation of a number of CUL3 lysine residues. (C) Activity assays contain methylated ubiquitin, a form of ubiquitin incapable of forming ubiquitin chains; as such, higher band shifts reflect the attachment of mono-ubiquitin to one more lysine residue on CUL3WT or CUL3Δ403-459, respectively. (D) Activity assay performed as in (C) with methyl-ubiquitin, the boxes shown on the gel are indicative of the gel pieces excised for mass spectrometry analysis in (F).

Single cell pseudokymographs were generated by concatenating the central section of the cell (sliced along the pole axis, frames at double the width of the bud neck) of a time-lapse dataset. The COPI•Dsl strain showed one single dominant spot at the bud tip and later the bud neck.
