The TIP1 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae encodes an 80 kDa cytoplasmic protein that interacts with the cytoplasmic domain of Sec20p.

ABSTRACT: The SEC20 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae encodes a 50 kDa type II integral membrane glycoprotein that is required for endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to Golgi transport. Here, we have used a genetic screen, based on the lethal effect of overexpressing the cytoplasmic domain of Sec20p, to identify a novel cytosolic factor that interacts with SEC20. This factor is an 80 kDa cytoplasmic protein encoded by the TIP1 (SEC twenty interacting protein) gene. Coimmunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence using Tip1p and Sec20p or its cytoplasmic domain showed that the two proteins physically interact to form a stable complex. Like SEC20, TIP1 is required for ER to Golgi transport and depletion of Tip1p results in accumulation of an extensive network of ER plus small transport vesicles. We therefore propose that Sec20p and Tip1p act together as a functional unit in the ER to Golgi transport step.

ROM7/BEM4 encodes a novel protein that interacts with the Rho1p small GTP-binding protein in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Project description:The RHO1 gene encodes a homolog of the mammalian RhoA small GTP-binding protein in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Rho1p is localized at the growth site and is required for bud formation. The RHO1(G22S, D125N) mutation is a temperature-sensitive and dominant negative mutation of RHO1, and a multicopy suppressor of RHO1(G22S, D125N), ROM7, was isolated. Nucleotide sequencing of ROM7 revealed that it is identical to the BEM4 gene (GenBank accession number L27816), although its physiological function has not yet been reported. Disruption of BEM4 resulted in the cold- and temperature-sensitive growth phenotypes, and cells of the deltabem4 mutant showed abnormal morphology, suggesting that BEM4 is involved in the budding process. The temperature-sensitive growth phenotype was suppressed by overexpression of RHO1, ROM2, which encodes a Rho1p-specific GDP/GTP exchange factor, or PKC1, which encodes a target of Rho1p. Moreover, glucan synthase activity, which is activated by Rho1p, was significantly reduced in the deltabem4 mutant. Two-hybrid and biochemical experiments revealed that Bem4p directly interacts with the nucleotide-free form of Rho1p and, to lesser extents, with the GDP- and GTP-bound forms of Rho1p, although Bem4p showed neither GDP/GTP exchange factor, GDP dissociation inhibitor, nor GTPase-activating protein activity toward Rho1p. These results indicate that Bem4p is a novel protein directly interacting with Rho1p and is involved in the RHO1-mediated signaling pathway.

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae NPS1 gene, a novel CDC gene which encodes a 160 kDa nuclear protein involved in G2 phase control.

Project description:We have cloned the gene NPS1 (nuclear protein of Saccharomyces) which encodes a nuclear protein of mol. wt 156 735 Daltons (1359 amino acids) essential for cell growth. NPS1 contains a 2 kb sequence that is highly homologous to the S. cerevisiae SNF2/GAM1 gene known as a transcriptional regulator for multiple genes. However, the NPS1 gene was found to have a distinct function from SNF2/GAM1. The growth of the cells carrying a nps1 delta :: URA3 deletion allele and galactose-inducible NPS1 on a plasmid was arrested under NPS1-repressed conditions with a cell cycle arrest phenotype, being arrested at the large-bud stage with a single nucleus that had a DNA content of G2/M phase. When the arrested cells were further incubated under NPS1-repressed conditions, re-replication of DNA occurred in some of the arrested cells without passage through mitosis. In the predicted amino acid sequence of NPS1, sequences homologous to the catalytic domain of protein kinases were found. We constructed a mutation which results in the substitution of a highly conserved lysine residue (Lys792) in the presumed ATP-binding site of this kinase-like domain with a glutamic acid codon. The mutant gene failed to rescue the growth defect caused by NPS1 disruption, suggesting that Lys792 is essential for the function of NPS1.

RRS1, a conserved essential gene, encodes a novel regulatory protein required for ribosome biogenesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Project description:A secretory defect causes specific and significant transcriptional repression of both ribosomal protein and rRNA genes (K. Mizuta and J. R. Warner, Mol. Cell. Biol. 14:2493-2502, 1994), suggesting the coupling of plasma membrane and ribosome syntheses. In order to elucidate the molecular mechanism of the signaling pathway, we isolated a cold-sensitive mutant with a mutation in a gene termed RRS1 (regulator of ribosome synthesis), which appeared to be defective in the signaling pathway. The rrs1-1 mutation greatly reduced transcriptional repression of both rRNA and ribosomal protein genes that is caused by a secretory defect. RRS1 is a novel, essential gene encoding a nuclear protein of 203 amino acid residues that is conserved in eukaryotes. A conditional rrs1-null mutant was constructed by placing RRS1 under the control of the GAL1 promoter. Rrs1p depletion caused defects in processing of pre-rRNA and assembly of ribosomal subunits.

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae checkpoint gene BUB1 encodes a novel protein kinase.

Project description:Normal cell multiplication requires that the events of mitosis occur in a carefully ordered fashion. Cells employ checkpoints to prevent cycle progression until some prerequisite step has been completed. To explore the mechanisms of checkpoint enforcement, we previously screened for mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae which are unable to recover from a transient treatment with a benzimidazole-related microtubule inhibitor because they fail to inhibit subsequent cell cycle steps. Two of the identified genes, BUB2 and BUB3, have been cloned and described (M. A. Hoyt, L. Totis, and B. T. Roberts, Cell 66:507-517, 1991). Here we present the characterization of the BUB1 gene and its product. Genetic evidence was obtained suggesting that Bub1 and Bub3 are mutually dependent for function, and immunoprecipitation experiments demonstrated a physical association between the two. Sequence analysis of BUB1 revealed a domain with similarity to protein kinases. In vitro experiments confirmed that Bub1 possesses kinase activity; Bub1 was able to autophosphorylate and to catalyze phosphorylation of Bub3. In addition, overproduced Bub1 was found to localize to the cell nucleus.

SQT1, which encodes an essential WD domain protein of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, suppresses dominant-negative mutations of the ribosomal protein gene QSR1.

Project description:QSR1 is an essential Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene, which encodes a 60S ribosomal subunit protein required for joining of 40S and 60S subunits. Truncations of QSR1 predicted to encode C-terminally truncated forms of Qsr1p do not substitute for QSR1 but do act as dominant negative mutations, inhibiting the growth of yeast when expressed from an inducible promoter. The dominant negative mutants exhibit a polysome profile characterized by 'half-mer' polysomes, indicative of a subunit joining defect like that seen in other qsr1 mutants (D. P. Eisinger, F. A. Dick, and B. L. Trumpower, Mol. Cell. Biol. 17:5136-5145, 1997.) By screening a high-copy yeast genomic library, we isolated several clones containing overlapping inserts of a novel gene that rescues the slow-growth phenotype of the dominant negative qsr1 truncations. The suppressor of qsr1 truncation mutants, SQT1, is an essential gene, which encodes a 47.1-kDa protein containing multiple WD repeats and which interacts strongly with Qsr1p in a yeast two-hybrid system. SQT1 restores growth and the "half-mer" polysome profile of the dominant negative qsr1 mutants to normal, but it does not rescue temperature-sensitive qsr1 mutants or the original qsr1-1 missense allele. In yeast cell lysates, Sqt1p fractionates as part of an oligomeric protein complex that is loosely associated with ribosomes but is distinct from known eukaryotic initiation factor complexes. Loss of SQT1 function by down regulation from an inducible promoter results in formation of half-mer polyribosomes and decreased Qsr1p levels on free 60S subunits. Sqt1p thus appears to be involved in a late step of 60S subunit assembly or modification in the cytoplasm.

IRA2, a second gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae that encodes a protein with a domain homologous to mammalian ras GTPase-activating protein.

Project description:The IRA1 gene is a negative regulator of the RAS-cyclic AMP pathway in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. To identify other genes involved in this pathway, we screened yeast genomic DNA libraries for genes that can suppress the heat shock sensitivity of the ira1 mutation on a multicopy vector. We identified IRA2, encoding a protein of 3,079 amino acids, that is 45% identical to the IRA1 protein. The region homologous between the IRA1 protein and ras GTPase-activating protein is also conserved in IRA2. IRA2 maps 11 centimorgans distal to the arg1 locus on the left arm of chromosome XV and was found to be allelic to glc4. Disruption of the IRA2 gene resulted in (i) increased sensitivity to heat shock and nitrogen starvation, (ii) sporulation defects, and (iii) suppression of the lethality of the cdc25 mutant. Analysis of disruption mutants of IRA1 and IRA2 indicated that IRA1 and IRA2 proteins additively regulate the RAS-cyclic AMP pathway in a negative fashion. Expression of the IRA2 domain homologous with GAP is sufficient for complementation of the heat shock sensitivity of ira2, suggesting that IRA down regulates RAS activity by stimulating the GTPase activity of RAS proteins.

Cytoplasmic decay of intergenic transcripts in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Project description:Eukaryotes produce a number of noncoding transcripts from intergenic regions. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, such cryptic unstable transcripts (CUTs) are thought to be degraded in the nucleus by a process involving polyadenylation and 3'-to-5' degradation by the nuclear exosome. In this work, we examine the degradation pathway of the RNA SRG1, which is produced from an intergenic region and contributes to the regulation of the SER3 gene by promoter occlusion during SRG1 transcription. Although there is some effect on SRG1 transcript levels when the nuclear exosome is compromised, the bulk of the SRG1 RNA is degraded in the cytoplasm by decapping and 5'-to-3' exonucleolytic digestion. Examination of other CUTs suggests that individual CUTs can be degraded by a variety of different mechanisms, including nuclear decay, cytoplasmic decapping and 5'-to-3' decay, and nonsense-mediated decay. Moreover, some CUTs appear to be associated with polyribosomes. These results indicate that some CUTs can be exported from the nucleus and enter translation before being degraded, identifying a potential mechanism for the evolution of new protein-encoding genes.

Tsr4 Is a Cytoplasmic Chaperone for the Ribosomal Protein Rps2 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Project description:Eukaryotic ribosome biogenesis requires the action of approximately 200 trans-acting factors and the incorporation of 79 ribosomal proteins (RPs). The delivery of RPs to preribosomes is a major challenge for the cell because RPs are often highly basic and contain intrinsically disordered regions prone to nonspecific interactions and aggregation. To counteract this, eukaryotes developed dedicated chaperones for certain RPs that promote their solubility and expression, often by binding eukaryote-specific extensions of the RPs. Rps2 (uS5) is a universally conserved RP that assembles into nuclear pre-40S subunits. However, a chaperone for Rps2 had not been identified. Our laboratory previously characterized Tsr4 as a 40S biogenesis factor of unknown function. Here, we report that Tsr4 cotranslationally associates with Rps2. Rps2 harbors a eukaryote-specific N-terminal extension that is critical for its interaction with Tsr4. Moreover, Tsr4 perturbation resulted in decreased Rps2 levels and phenocopied Rps2 depletion. Despite Rps2 joining nuclear pre-40S particles, Tsr4 appears to be restricted to the cytoplasm. Thus, we conclude that Tsr4 is a cytoplasmic chaperone dedicated to Rps2.

CEP3 encodes a centromere protein of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Project description:We have designed a screen to identify mutants specifically affecting kinetochore function in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The selection procedure was based on the generation of "synthetic acentric" minichromosomes. "Synthetic acentric" minichromosomes contain a centromere locus, but lack centromere activity due to combination of mutations in centromere DNA and in a chromosomal gene (CEP) encoding a putative centromere protein. Ten conditional lethal cep mutants were isolated, seven were found to be alleles of NDC10 (CEP2) encoding the 110-kD protein of yeast kinetochore. Three mutants defined a novel essential gene CEP3. The CEP3 product (Cep3p) is a 71-kD protein with a potential DNA-binding domain (binuclear Zn-cluster). At nonpermissive temperature the cep3 cells arrest with an undivided nucleus and a short mitotic spindle. At permissive temperature the cep3 cells are unable to support segregation of minichromosomes with mutations in the central part of element III of yeast centromere DNA. These minichromosomes, when isolated from cep3 cultures, fail to bind bovine microtubules in vitro. The sum of genetic, cytological and biochemical data lead us to suggest that the Cep3 protein is a DNA-binding component of yeast centromere. Molecular mass and sequence comparison confirm that Cep3p is the p64 component of centromere DNA binding complex Cbf3 (Lechner, 1994).

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae DNA repair gene RAD23 encodes a nuclear protein containing a ubiquitin-like domain required for biological function.

Project description:In eukaryotes, the posttranslational conjugation of ubiquitin to various cellular proteins marks them for degradation. Interestingly, several proteins have been reported to contain ubiquitin-like (ub-like) domains that are in fact specified by the DNA coding sequences of the proteins. The biological role of the ub-like domain in these proteins is not known; however, it has been proposed that this domain functions as a degradation signal rendering the proteins unstable. Here, we report that the product of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae RAD23 gene, which is involved in excision repair of UV-damaged DNA, bears a ub-like domain at its amino terminus. This finding has presented an opportunity to define the functional significance of this domain. We show that deletion of the ub-like domain impairs the DNA repair function of RAD23 and that this domain can be functionally substituted by the authentic ubiquitin sequence. Surprisingly, RAD23 is highly stable, and the studies reported herein indicate that its ub-like domain does not mediate protein degradation. Thus, in RAD23 at least, the ub-like domain affects protein function in a nonproteolytic manner.
