The rtn1Δ yop1Δ mutant has Nab2NLS-GFP nuclear import defects. Parental (BY4742) and rtn1Δ yop1Δ (SWY3811) cells with a plasmid expressing Nab2NLS-GFP (pNS167; Shulga et al., 2000) were grown to early log phase at 23°C. Import kinetics were determined after shifting energy-depleted cells with cytoplasmic Nab2NLS-GFP to glucose-containing media. (A) Localization of Nab2NLS-GFP by direct fluorescence microscopy at time points (minutes) after reinitiating import. (B) Kinetic data for three independent trials. Error bars represent standard deviation. Bar, 10 µm.
