Heterokaryon assay. Cells expressing either Arx1p–GFP or Gar1p–GFP were mated with kar1-1 strain and placed on YPD plate containing cycloheximide to inhibit de novo protein synthesis. After a 2-h incubation, heterokaryons were analyzed by fluorescence microscopy for presence of GFP signal in both nuclei.
