Supplemental Figure S1. Fus2p localization.

(A) The localization of Fus2p truncations in mitotic cells. Fus2p truncations (pMR6011, 6009, 6149, 6159, 6151, 6152, and 6148) were expressed in fus2D (MY10174) under the GAL1 promoter for 90 min. Cells were fixed and stained with DAPI. Bar, 5 mm.

(B) The localization of Fus2p truncations in pheromone-treated cells. Fus2p truncations (pMR6009, 6150, 6151, and 6152) were expressed in fus2D (MY10174) under the GAL1 promoter for 90 min, after which glucose and a-factor were added for 2 h. Cells were fixed and stained with DAPI. Bar, 5 mm.

(C) Fus2p localization in importin mutants. Fus2p54-99-GFP3 was expressed from the GAL1 promoter for 90 min either 25°C or 37°C in indicated mutant cells (MY12415, 12136, 12135, 12155, 12151, 12132, 12152, 12153, 12154, and 10542). GFP fluorescence was observed in living cells. Bar, 5 mm.

Supplemental Figure S2. Fus2p phosphorylation in fus3Dkss1D cells.

Fus2p54-104 (pMR6009) were expressed in FUS3 (MY10174), fus3Dcln3D (MY10273), fus3Dkss1Dcln3D cells (MY12179) under the GAL1 promoter for 90 min during after a-factor arrest for 2 h. Samples were run on 50 mM phos-tag gels.

Supplemental Figure S3. The regulation of Fus2p nuclear transport by phosphorylation.

(A) Fus2p54-83 mutants (pMR6152, 6153, and 6154) were expressed in fus2D (MY10174) under the GAL1 promoter for 90 min.

(B) Fus2p54-85 mutants (pMR6151, 6155, and 6156) were expressed in fus2D (MY10174) under the GAL1 promoter for 90 min.

(C) Fus2p54-99 mutants (pMR6159, 6218, and 6160) were expressed in fus2D (MY10174) under the GAL1 promoter for 90 min, after which glucose and a-factor were added for 2 h.

(D) Fus2p54-104 mutants (pMR6184, 6185, 6169, and 6177) were expressed in fus2D (MY10174) under the GAL1 promoter for 90 min. SSA and SSE refer to residues 67, 84, and 100.

(A-D) GFP fluorescence was observed in living cells. Bar, 5 mm.

Supplemental Figure S4. Nuclear accumulation of Fus2p in cells with a defect in export.

Box and whisker plot. GFP fluorescence was observed in living cells and its intensity of the nucleus relative to the cytoplasm was quantified as described in Materials and methods. The line inside the box indicates the median. Error bars indicate the entire range. (left) Indicated Fus2p truncated mutant (pMR6159) was expressed from the GAL1 promoter at 37°C for 90 min in CRM1 (MY10239) or crm1-1 (MY10240) cells. N/C ratio is 3.14±0.74 (n=29) for CRM1 and 4.76±0.88 (n=30) for crm1-1 cells. (middle) Indicated Fus2p truncated mutants (pMR6159 and pMR6151) were expressed from the GAL1 promoter at 30°C for 90 min in fus2D (MY10174). Fus2p54-85-GFP3 (pMR6151) lacks the NES sequence (Fig. 1A). N/C ratio is 3.48±0.83 (n=55) for +NES and 4.50±1.07 (n=64) for -NES. (right) Indicated Fus2p truncated mutants (pMR6009 and pMR6180) were expressed from the GAL1 promoter at 30°C for 90 min in fus2D (MY10174). Fus2p54-104-NES6A-GFP3 (pMR6180) contains the NES mutations in which six hydrophobic residues important for nuclear exit were substituted for alanines (Fig. 1D). N/C ratio is 3.37±0.86 (n=70) for wild-type NES and 5.32±1.28 (n=27) for NES6A mutant.

Supplemental Figure S5. Suppression of S67 phosphorylation-dependent Fus2p import by S84 phosphorylation.

Box and whisker plot. The NES activity-defective Fus2p54-85-GFP3 mutants (pMR6216, 6156, 6157, and 6158) were expressed from the GAL1 promoter at 30°C for 90 min in fus2D (MY10174). GFP fluorescence was observed in living cells and its intensity of the nucleus relative to the cytoplasm was quantified as described in Materials and methods. The line inside the box indicates the median. Error bars indicate the entire range. ES, SE, AE, and EE refer to the specific amino acids at residues 67 and 84.

If S84 phosphorylation blocks S67 phosphorylation, S84 phosphomimetic mutant, SE will show the similar N/C ratio to S67 phosphorylation defective mutant, AE. However, this is not the case. N/C ratio of SE (3.13±0.73; n=47) is higher than AE (1.36±0.20; n=36), but instead similar to EE (2.99±0.48; n=73), suggesting that S67 phosphorylation is independent of S84 phosphorylation. On the other hand, N/C ratio of ES (4.54±1.03; n=46) was decreased by S84 phospho-mimetic mutation in EE mutant, suggesting that S84 phosphorylation suppresses the ability of S67 phosphorylation to facilitate Fus2p nuclear import.

Supplemental Figure S6. Co-immunoprecipitation of Fus2p mutants with Srp1p or Crm1p.

(A and B) Indicated Fus2p54-104 truncated mutants fused with GFP3 (pMR6170 and 6237) were expressed in (A) SRP1-3HA (MY12172) or (B) CRM1-3HA (MY12170) cells under the GAL1 promoter for 90 min, and then cells were harvested. Extracts were prepared, and Srp1p or Crm1p was precipitated with anti-HA as described in Materials and methods. Fus2p and Srp1p or Crm1p were detected with anti-GFP and anti-HA, respectively. The intensity of co-purified Fus2p was normalized by purified Srp1p or Crm1p and expressed relative to AAA. Error bars represent the means ± SEM of two independent experiments. AAA and EEE refer to the specific amino acids at residues 67, 84, and 100.

Supplemental Figure S7. S67, S84, and S100 phosphorylations by the NLS mutation.

Samples were run on gels containing 50 mM phos-tag and detected by anti-GFP immunoblot. (A) Indicated Fus2p54-104 mutants fused with GFP3 (pMR6009, 6226, and 6231) were expressed in fus2D cells (MY10174) under the GAL1 promoter for 90 min. Arrow indicates the S67 phosphorylated species. (B) fus2D cells (MY10174) were arrested with a-factor for 2h and then indicated Fus2p54-104 mutants fused with GFP3 (pMR6226 and 6231) were expressed under the GAL1 promoter for 90 min.

Supplemental Figure S8. Failure of S67 phospho-mimetic mutation in overriding the defect of 63KR64 mutation in Fus2p nuclear import.

Indicated plasmid (pMR6310) was expressed from the GAL1 promoter for 3 h in fus2D (MY10174). GFP fluorescence was observed in living cells. Bar, 5 mm.
