Western blotting analysis of protein levels in cells with different dcp2 alleles.

N-terminal triple-HA tagged dcp2-N245, dcp2-E153Q-N245, and dcp2-E198Q-N245 were constructed and cloned into the yeast single copy expression vector pRS315. The resulting plasmids were transformed …

Western blotting analysis of Pat1, Lsm1, and Dhh1 levels in different mutant strains.

Deletions of PAT1, LSM1, or DHH1 were constructed in yeast strains harboring TAP-tagged PAT1, LSM1, or DHH1 alleles at the respective genomic loci. Cell extracts were prepared from yeast strains of …

Figure 4 with 1 supplement
Transcripts from different subgroups of mRNAs regulated by Pat1, Lsm1, or Dhh1 have distinct expression patterns in cells deficient in decapping or 5’ to 3’ exoribonuclease activities and also exhibit distinct extents of co-translational mRNA decay.

Transcripts up-regulated in pat1Δ, lsm1Δ, or dhh1Δ strains were divided into three non-overlapping Up-o-d, Up-o-pl, and Up-a-pld subgroups, representing transcripts up-regulated only in dhh1Δ cells, …

Figure 4—figure supplement 1
Inhibition of the 3’ to 5’ mRNA decay pathway partially restores the levels of transcripts down-regulated in pat1∆ and lsm1∆ cells, but not in dhh1∆ cells.

Yeast strains harboring double deletions of PAT1, LSM1, or DHH1 and SKI2 were constructed. Total RNA was isolated from these cells as well their isogenic wild-type and single deletion cells. The …
