Figure 4: Ulp1 is required for cell-cycle progression. a, Cell-cycle phenotype of ulp1-ts cells. Micrographs show cell morphology (Nomarski) after 6 h at 37 °C and, for a different set of samples, nuclear staining (with DAPI) and microtubule immunostaining after 8.5 h at 37 °C. Mutant cells are enlarged compared with wild-type cells. After 8 h in YPD medium at 37 °C, 58.5 3.5% of mutant cells (n = 572) had large buds, 7.2 1.8% had small buds and 34.3 4.1% had no buds. The corresponding percentages for wild-type cells (n = 425) were 32 1.8, 4 1.7 and 46.6 1.9. b, FACS analysis of cells synchronized with -factor and released at 37 °C. 1C and 2C refers to one and two sets of chromosomes per cell.
