In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the bud site selection of diploid cells is regulated by at least four persistent landmarks, Bud8p, Bud9p, Rax1p, and Rax2p. Bud8p and Bud9p are essential for the establishment of bipolar budding and localize mainly to the distal and the proximal poles, respectively. Their subcellular localizations are regulated through interaction with Rax1p/Rax2p. We investigated when and where Bud8p and Bud9p physically interact with Rax2p in vivo using a split-GFP method. GFP fluorescence showed that Bud8p physically interacted with Rax2p at the proximal or distal pole in unbudded cells; a physical interaction was also observed at the opposite pole to the growing bud in mother cells with a large-size bud. Bud9p physically interacted with Rax2p at the birth scar in budded mother cells. These observations suggest that the interaction of Rax2p with Bud8p and Bud9p may contribute to the translocation of bipolar landmarks to the correct sites.

In diploid Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells, bud-site selection is determined by two cortical landmarks, Bud8p and Bud9p, at the distal and proximal poles, respectively. Their localizations depend on the multigenerational proteins Rax1p/Rax2p. Many genes involved in bud-site selection were identified previously by genome-wide screening of deletion mutants, which identified BUD32 that causes a random budding in diploid cells.

In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, diploid yeast cells follow a bipolar budding program, which depends on the two transmembrane glycoproteins Bud8p and Bud9p that potentially act as cortical tags to mark the cell poles. Here, we have performed systematic structure-function analyses of Bud8p and Bud9p to identify functional domains. We find that polar transport of Bud8p and Bud9p does not depend on N-terminal sequences but instead on sequences in the median part of the proteins and on the C-terminal parts that contain the transmembrane domains.

In the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, selection of the bud site determines the axis of polarized cell growth and eventual oriented cell division. Bud sites are selected in specific patterns depending on cell type. These patterns appear to depend on distinct types of marker proteins in the cell cortex; in particular, the bipolar budding of diploid cells depends on persistent landmarks at the birth-scar-distal and -proximal poles that involve the proteins Bud8p and Bud9p, respectively.

In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Bud8p and Bud9p are homologous plasma membrane glycoproteins that appear to mark the distal and proximal cell poles, respectively, as potential sites for budding in the bipolar pattern. Here we provide evidence that Bud8p is delivered to the presumptive bud site (and thence to the distal pole of the bud) just before bud emergence, and that Bud9p is delivered to the bud side of the mother-bud neck (and thence to the proximal pole of the daughter cell) after activation of the mitotic exit network, just before cytokinesis. Like the delivery of Bud8p, that of Bud9p is actin dependent; unlike the delivery of Bud8p, that of Bud9p is also septin dependent.
