20. These cells showed ∼60% random budding (n = 200), as compared to 8% random budding of the wild-type strain (n = 200).
21. a cells expressing Bud5-b1-GFP budded in an axial manner (85%; n = 200), whereas a/a cells expressing Bud5-b1-GFP budded in a random manner (93%; n = 200).
22. Localization of Bud5-GFP in haploid bud8Δ and bud9Δ strains was indistinguishable from that in haploid wild-type cells.

27. In a similar approach, we were unable to detect coimmunoprecipitation of Bud5 and Bud3. Bud3 may not interact with Bud5 but rather may indirectly influence localization of Bud5. Alternatively, Bud5 may interact with Bud3 very transiently, which cannot be easily coimmunoprecipitated.
28. Although a slightly less amount of Bud5 was coimmunoprecipitated or copurified with Axl2 from a/a cells compared to a cells, Axl2 was also recovered less efficiently from a/α cells by immunoprecipitation and GST column chromatography. We suspect that an unknown protein interacts with Axl2 in a/α cells, resulting in poor recovery of Axl2. One caveat of both approaches is that Axl2 is overexpressed when either a multicopy plasmid or the GAL promoter is used; hence it may not reflect the exact scenario occurring in the cell.
