7. The GFP-Tub1 fusion under the control of the HIS3 promoter was constructed by ligating the entire genomic TUB1 locus with Bam HI and Not I linkers into pAFS78 (8). The resultant GFP-Tub1 fusion was cloned into the Kpn I to Xho I sites of pRS306 to yield pAFS91 and integrated at the URA3 locus after Stu I digestion. The GFP-tubulin fusion was functional because it rescues a normally lethal TUB1 deletion. Strain AFS403 was constructed by transforming strain AFS173 (8) with Stu I-digested pAFS91.

10. 1 by treatment with α-factor (10 μg/ml) for 3 hours, released from this arrest, induced to express the GFP-Tub1 and GFP-LacI fusions for 30 min (8), and mounted in histidine-free medium. Every 26 s, 12 optical sections (100-ms exposure time) were collected (vertical separation, 0.5 μm) by wide-field deconvolution 3D microscopy (11) with a 60× 1.4 numerical aperture lens.

26. Strain AFS412 was constructed by integrating pAFS52 (8) at TRP1 near the centromere of chromosome IV and then integrating pAFS114 near the telomere of chromosome IV. Plasmid pAFS114 contains a Kpn I-Sac I fragment of chromosome IV spanning nucleotides 1,436,502 to 1,438,325 in pAFS59 (8) and was integrated into chromosome IV after digestion with Bsa BI.
