13. Characterization of survival
mutations in Med17/SRB4 subunit
of
Mediator Complex
Quantitative Growth Assay for survival
mutants. Plates were incubated at A.30⁰C,
B.37⁰C. 1. Z572, 2. Z572 with pPGKGW, 3. Z572
with pPGKSRB4. 4-8. SRB4ts6. The mutant is
not capable of growing beyond 10-fold
dilution.
Comparision of change in amino acid between wild-type and mutant. The
region of SRB4 with mutation is expanded, depicting the amino acid
change. A. SRB4 B. SRB4ts6
