Fluorescence microscopy of live cells is instrumental in deciphering the molecular details of autophagy. To facilitate the routine examination of yeast Atg proteins under diverse conditions, here we provide a comprehensive tool set, including (1) plasmids for the expression of GFP chimeras at endogenous levels for most Atg proteins, (2) RFP-Atg8 constructs with improved properties as a PAS marker, and (3) plasmids for the complementation of common yeast auxotrophic markers. We hope that the availability of this tool set will further accelerate yeast autophagy research.
活细胞荧光显微镜检查有助于解读自噬的分子细节。为便于在不同条件下对酵母自噬相关蛋白(Atg蛋白)进行常规检测,我们在此提供一套全面的工具集,包括:(1)用于在大多数Atg蛋白的内源性水平表达绿色荧光蛋白(GFP)嵌合体的质粒;(2)作为吞噬泡前体结构(PAS)标记物、性能得到改进的红色荧光蛋白(RFP)-Atg8构建体;(3)用于补充常见酵母营养缺陷型标记物的质粒。我们希望这套工具集的问世将进一步加速酵母自噬研究。
