(A) Epifluorescence microscopy analysis examining the subcellular localization of de novo made UapA-GFP, after 6-8 hours of initiation of transcription in strains where the expression of RabE, AP-1σ or ClaH (thiAp-rabE, thiAp-ap1σ or thiAp-claH) has been repressed ab initio (o/n) by addition of thiamine. Notice that when rabE or ap1σ is repressed UapA-GFP still reaches the PM. In contrast, repression of claH abolishes labeling of the PM and leads to the cytosolic puncta and a membranous network. Scale bars: 5 μm. Quantification: UapA-GFP PM/cytosolic intensity ratios are plotted on the right. Mean ratios for wild-type, thiAp-rabE, thiAp-ap1σ and thiAp-claH are 0.55±0.02, 0.53±0.03, 0.54±0.02 and 0.29±0.02 respectively. For the statistical analysis, Tukey's Multiple Comparison test was performed (One-way ANOVA). After 6-8h of transcriptional derepression, UapA-GFP fluorescence to the PM does not change when rabE or ap1σ are repressed. On the other hand, in the absence of ClaH, UapA does not reach the PM, as its fluorescence intensity there is statistically lower (****P<0.0001) in comparison to that of the wild-type strain. Biological/technical replicates: 2/15 for each strain.
