Strains RHY718, -609, -925, and -749 are an isogenic set and correspond to wt and hrd1-, hrd2-, and hrd3-deficient S. cerevisiae mutants. RHY1166, -1596, -1603 and 1–604 are also an isogenic set and correspond to wt and ubc6-,ubc7-, and ubc6/7-deficient S. cerevisiae mutants. Strains RHY473 and -106-4 correspond toPEP4 and pep4Δ. The method of their construction has been described previously (Hampton and Rine, 1994;Hampton et al., 1996; Wilhovsky et al., 2000).
