Imaging was performed with an inverted microscope (Nikon, Ti-E Eclipse) equipped with a 100× 1.49 N.A. oil immersion objective (Nikon, Plano Apo). The xy position of the stage was controlled by ProScan linear motor stage controller (Prior). The microscope was equipped with a MLC400B laser launch (Agilent), with 405 nm, 488 nm, 561 nm and 640 nm laser lines. The excitation and emission paths were filtered using appropriate single bandpass filter cubes (Chroma). The emitted signals were detected with an electron multiplying CCD camera (Andor Technology, iXon Ultra 888). Illumination and image acquisition is controlled by NIS Elements Advanced Research software (Nikon).

Single colonies were picked and grown at 30 °C. Log-phase live S. cerevisiae cells were mounted on a thin agarose pad made from SC medium pressed between two glass slides. Live cells genetically modified to express fluorescently labeled DYN1-3XGFP, CFP-TUB1, and SPC110-tdTomato were imaged using a Yokogawa W1 confocal scanhead mounted to a Nikon Ti2 microscope with an Apo TIRF 100 ×1.49 NA objective (Nikon, Plano Apo). The microscope was run with NIS Elements using the 488 nm 515 nm and 561 nm lines of a six-line (405 nm, 445 nm, 488 nm, 515 nm, 561 nm, and 640 nm) LUN-F-XL laser engine and Prime95B cameras (Photometrics). The DYN1-3×GFP foci localizing to the spindle pole body (SPB), microtubule plus end, and cell cortex were outlined as regions of interest in Fiji66 (link), recorded, and analyzed for three replicates of at least 120 cells for each sample.

Imaging was performed with an inverted microscope (Nikon, Ti-E Eclipse) equipped with a 100 3 1.49 N.A. oil immersion objective (Nikon, Plano Apo). The xy position of the stage was controlled by a Pro-Scan linear motor stage controller (Prior). The microscope was equipped with a MLC400B laser launch (Agilent), with 405 nm, 488 nm, 561 nm and 640 nm laser lines. The excitation and emission paths were filtered using appropriate single bandpass filter cubes (Chroma). The emitted signals were detected with an electron multiplying CCD camera (Andor Technology, iXon Ultra 888). Illumination and image acquisition was controlled by NIS Elements Advanced Research software (Nikon). Temperature-controlled motility assays were performed using a Linkam PE100-NIF inverted Peltier stage and T96 System Controller. Flow chamber slides were covered with a custom copper-plated aluminum fitting and empirical temperature of the flow chamber was monitored using a Type K thermocouple sensor probe.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
