The following yeast strains were used in this study: W303-1A (MATa leu2-3, 112 ura3-1 trp1-92 AZD2281 datasheet his3-11, 15 ade2-1 can1-100) (Thomas & Rothstein, 1989), sch9Δ (W303-1A sch9Δ::URA3) and zds1Δ (W303-1A zds1Δ::repeat). Oligonucleotides used in this study for construction of strains and plasmids are described in Supporting Information, Tables S1 and S2. The sch9Δ::URA3

deletion cassette was obtained by PCR amplification of genomic DNA of strain YBY1 containing the sch9Δ::URA3 cassette with primers KSCH9-U and KSCH9-D. The deletion cassette was used to delete SCH9 gene in strain W303-1A by one-step gene replacement procedure. Strains zds1Δ::RYUR was generated using a one-step gene replacement procedure transforming W303-1A with a zds1Δ::RYUR deletion fragment, which was obtained by PCR amplification of repeat-URA3-repeat fragment on the plasmid pUC18-RYUR (Kong et al., 2007) using primers KZDS1-U and KZDS1-D. Strains zds1Δ::RYUR were spotted on plates containing 5-fluoroorotic acid to pop-out URA3 marker using the recombination of two repeat fragments VX-765 and the obtained strain zds1Δ::repeat. CZDS1 and CZDS1-D were used to confirm the deletion of ZDS1 on the genome. Plasmid YCplac22-3xHA was generated by inserting a triple copy of the HA sequence between the PstI and SphI sites and the 249-bp CYC1 terminator sequences between the SphI and HindШ sites of plasmid

YCplac22. Plasmid YEplac181-ZDS1-3xHA was generated as follows: 3317 bp of ZDS1 sequence was amplified using primers ZDS1GFP-U and ZDS1GFP-D from yeast genomic DNA. The PCR fragments were digested with SalI and NotI and inserted in the same enzyme pair-digested plasmid YCplac22-3xHA, creating an in-frame fusion between the ZDS1 ORF and 3xHA. Primers CZDS1-U and CZDS1-D were used to amplify 3861 bp

of the ZDS1 sequence from yeast genomic DNA. The PCR fragments were digested with BamHI and SalI and inserted in the same enzyme pair-digested plasmid YEplac195, creating YEplac195-ZDS1. Plasmid YCplac22-SCH9-13xMYC was generated by inserting 3052 bp of SCH9 sequence amplified from yeast genomic DNA using primers SCH9GFP-U and SCH9GFP-D between the BamHI and SphI sites and 862 bp of 13xMYC-CYC1 sequence between the SphI and HindШ sites of plasmid YCplac22. Hydroxychloroquine Plasmid YCplac22-CYC1 was generated by inserting 249 bp CYC1 terminator sequences between the SphI and HindШ sites of plasmid YCplac22. To create YEplac181-SCH9, primers SCH9GFP-U and SCH9GFP-D were used to amplify 3052 bp of SCH9 sequence from yeast genomic DNA. The PCR fragments were digested with BamHI and SphI and inserted in the same enzyme pair-digested plasmid YCplac22-CYC1. Plasmid YCplac22-YAK1-3xHA was generated as follows: 3100 bp of ZDS1 sequence were amplified using primers YAK1-U and yak1gfp-D from yeast genomic DNA. The PCR fragments were digested with PstI and SphI and inserted in the same enzyme pair-digested plasmid YCplac22-3xHA, creating an in-frame fusion between the YAK1 ORF and 3xHA.
