Relationship between Cbk1p, Mob2p, Tao3p, Hym1p, Kic1p, and Sog2p for protein localization. Logarithmically growing cells expressing GFP-tagged proteins were visualized by differential interference contrast and fluorescence microscopy. (A) Localization of Cbk1-GFP in wild-type (FLY895), hym1Δ (FLY1383), kic1Δ (FLY1344), tao3Δ (FLY1259), and sog2Δ cells (FLY1515). Arrows point to nuclear localization of Cbk1-GFP in late mitotic cells. (B) Localization of Mob2-GFP in wild-type (FLY893), hym1Δ (FLY1342), kic1Δ (FLY1343), tao3Δ (FLY1260) and sog2Δ (FLY1499) cells. Arrows point to nuclear localization of Mob2-GFP. The arrowhead points to a G1 tao3Δ cell (inset) with Mob2-GFP in the nucleus. (C) Localization of Tao3-GFP in cbk1Δ (FLY1324), mob2Δ (FLY1386), hym1Δ (FLY1326), kic1Δ (FLY1325), and sog2Δ (FLY1500) cells. (D) Localization of Hym1-GFP in cbk1Δ (FLY1246), mob2Δ (FLY1245), kic1Δ (FLY1261), tao3Δ (FLY1262), and sog2Δ (FLY1514) cells. (E) Localization of Kic1-GFP in cbk1Δ (FLY1248), mob2Δ (FLY1247), hym1Δ (FLY1278), tao3Δ (FLY1249), and sog2Δ (FLY1465) cells. (F) Localization of Sog2-GFP in cbk1Δ (FLY1475), mob2Δ (FLY1474), hym1Δ (FLY1472), kic1Δ (FLY1471), and tao3Δ (FLY1473) cells. Immunoblots of the deletion strains reveal no significant differences in RAM protein levels (our unpublished data). Each image was captured and processed identically.
