CIL:13880

Tem1-CAAX (green) is targeted away from spindle pole bodies in wild-type cells (this image) but can also still localize to the SPB (CIL# 13881). The CAAX motif from Ras2 targets proteins to the cytoplasmic side of the membrane. tem1Δ::GAL-UPL-TEM1 cells expressing eGFP-TEM1-CAAX from a CEN plasmid were grown on 2% raffinose/2% galactose and transferred to 2% glucose medium prior to image capture. A differential interference contrast (DIC) image is also shown. The tem1Δ::GAL1-UPL-TEM1 strain allows for the rapid, conditional depletion of Tem1. UPL, which stands for ubiquitin-proline-LacI, acts as a destabilizing module that permits rapid degradation of appended proteins. Image is Fig S5D, top panels, in J Cell Biol. (2011) 192: 599-614. Images in Fig S5 include CIL # 13880, 13881.
