Mot3 is a repressor of FLO11 expression and an attenuator of adhesive growth. (A) MOT3 overexpression suppresses GFP expression driven by the FLO11 promoter. Data are shown for yeast cells (S288c background) containing either an empty vector, grown on synthetic low-ammonium solid media containing either glucose (SLAD, black line) or galactose (SLAG, red line), or a GAL1-driven MOT3 expression construct, grown on SLAD (blue line) or SLAG (violet line). (B) FLO11 gene expression intensity relative to wild-type (WT) yeast-form growth. Three biological replicates are shown for WT and mot3Δ. The mean expression ratio of WT SLAD is 4.6, and mean expression ratio of mot3Δ SLAD is 12.7. (C) MOT3 deletion strains are hyperadhesive on YPD (Σ1278b background for B and C).
