Vacuolar Morphology and Crz1 Localization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To evaluate vacuolar morphology, overnight cultures of JEC21, PK7, and PK50 were diluted 1:25 into fresh YPD and mock treated or treated with 2 µg/ml toremifene. After growth for an additional 4 h, 1 ml of each culture was washed with DPBS (Dulbecco's phosphate-buffered saline) and resuspended in 10 µM MDY-64 (Invitrogen), 10 mM HEPES (pH 7.4), 5% glucose. Cells were incubated in the dark at room temperature for 1 h and then placed on ice until imaging. To determine the effect of small molecules on Crz1 nuclear localization, overnight cultures of strain XW252 were diluted 1:50 in fresh YPD and treated with 1/4 the MIC of the test compound or carrier. The resulting cultures were incubated for an additional 4 h at either 30°C or 37°C. Samples were washed and resuspended in DPBS for imaging. Images were collected with a Nikon ES80 epifluorescence microscope equipped with a CoolSnap charge-coupled device (CCD) camera using NIS-Elements software and processed in PhotoShop. For quantitative analysis, at least 100 cells with clearly visible signals for both fluorophores were evaluated by eye for colocalization of Crz1 and Nop1. All imaging results were performed on multiple days from independent cultures.

Honokiol (5,5’-diallyl-2,4’-dihydroxybiphenyl) was obtained from Xi'an Yuquan Biological Technology Co., Ltd. and its purity was over 98% as analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography. Yeast vacuole membrane marker MDY-64 was purchased from Invitrogen (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA). EGTA, ergosterol, and amiodarone (AMD) were purchased from Aladdin Bio-Chem Technology Co., Ltd. (China). For analysis of exogenous sterol utilization, ergosterol was dissolved in a mixture of ethanol (50%) and Tween-80 (50%) to give a 10mM stock solution, which was used to supplement the liquid medium with a final concentration of 50 μM. The same concentration of vehicle without ergosterol was used as a control.

Vital staining of DNA was performed by adding SYBR Green I (Invitrogen, Carlsbad CA, USA) at 1/2000 dilution. To visualize mitochondria, Rhodamine 123 (Invitrogen) was added to cell suspensions at a final concentration of 0.2 µg/mL and the stained cells were incubated for approximately 10 min at room temperature. To stain vacuoles, yeast vacuole membrane marker MDY-64 (Yeast vacuole marker sampler kit, Invitrogen) was used at the concentration of 10 µM.

Formation of polysaccharide capsule was examined by differential interference microscopy (DIC) on an Axioplan 2 imaging microscope (Zeiss), after incubation for 24 h at 30°C in defined low-iron medium (LIM) and staining with India ink. Melanin production was examined on L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA) plates containing 0.1% glucose (Tangen et al., 2007 (link)). The influence of copper on melanin production was investigated on L-DOPA plates supplemented with 100 μM or 1 mM of CuSO4.

MDY-64 staining was performed as described (Scheuring et al., 2015 ). Seedlings were submerged in a solution of 0.25 μM MDY-64 (Invitrogen, Y7536) in 0.5X liquid MS medium for 5 min. The seedlings were then rinsed in 0.5X liquid MS medium and mounted on a slide. Confocal images of root hairs were obtained using a 63× oil immersion objective lens after excitation of the dye at 451 nm using an Ar/Kr laser, and emission was detected at 497 nm.

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.
