Levels of Spt20 and Ada1 are dependent on Spt7. (A) Western analysis was performed to measure the levels of Spt7, Spt20, and Ada1. Wild-type (strain FY1977), spt7Δ (FY2026), spt20Δ (FY1291), and ada1Δ (FY2027) strains were grown in YEPD medium, and whole-cell extracts were prepared and subjected to Western blot analysis, using antibodies to Spt7, Ada1, and HA (to detect the HA-Spt20 fusion protein). Taf1 levels were measured as a loading control. (B) Northern analysis of mRNA levels in spt7Δ, spt20Δ, and ada1Δ mutants. The same wild-type, spt7Δ, spt20Δ, and ada1Δ strains were grown in YEPD medium, and RNA was isolated and analyzed by Northern analysis. ACT1 mRNA levels were measured as a loading control.
