Fig. 4From: Saccharomyces cerevisiae ER membrane protein complex subunit 4 (EMC4) plays a crucial role in eIF2B-mediated translation regulation and survival under stress conditionsSpot assay to test the effect of H2O2, ethanol, and caffeine on the growth of eIF2B mutants. Hydrogen peroxide, ethanol, and caffeine spot assays were performed with gcd7-201 gcn2∆, GCD7 gcn2∆, and GCD7 GCN2. Ten-fold serially diluted transformants harboring empty hc, vector pEG (KG), or hc/EMC4 were spotted on SC-Ura or SC-Ura/3-AT agar plates supplemented with (a) H2O2 (4 mM), (b) ethanol (10%), and (c) caffeine (30 mM) in the presence of either raffinose or galactose. Cultures were incubated for 2 days at 30 °CBack to article page
