Many important regulatory proteins such as transcription factors are regulated through subcellular localization. Protein localization can be examined by fusing a GFP tag. However, GFP is relatively big in size, and potentially may affect correct protein localization. Several small tags have been developed, such as myc, HA or Flag. By using immunostain and fluorescence microscopy as described in this protocol, one can easily probe the regulation of a selected yeast protein with the application of the aforementioned small tags.
