Golgi targeting of ARF-like GTPase Arl3p requires its Nalpha-acetylation and the integral membrane protein Sys1pSubba Rao Gangi Setty
Department of Cell and Developmental Biology, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, 421 Curie Blvd BRB 2 3 room 1010, Philadelphia, PA 19104 6058, USA
Nat Cell Biol 6:414-9. 2004..Chemical crosslinking and fluorescence microscopy experiments demonstrate that localization of Arl3p also requires Sys1p, a Golgi-localized integral membrane protein, which may serve as a receptor for acetylated Arl3p...
Genetic interactions of MAF1 identify a role for Med20 in transcriptional repression of ribosomal protein genesIan M Willis
Department of Biochemistry, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Bronx, New York, United States of America
PLoS Genet 4:e1000112. 2008..The data suggest that Mediator and Maf1 function in parallel pathways to negatively regulate RP mRNA and tRNA synthesis...
Fus1p interacts with components of the Hog1p mitogen-activated protein kinase and Cdc42p morphogenesis signaling pathways to control cell fusion during yeast matingBryce Nelson
Department of Biology, Queen s University, Kingston, Ontario K7L 3N6, Canada
Genetics 166:67-77. 2004..Taken together, our results suggest that Fus1p acts as a scaffold for the assembly of a cell surface complex involved in polarized secretion of septum-degrading enzymes and inhibition of HOG pathway signaling to promote cell fusion...
Formins direct Arp2/3-independent actin filament assembly to polarize cell growth in yeastMarie Evangelista
Department of Biology, Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada
Nat Cell Biol 4:32-41. 2002..Unlike the assembly of cortical actin patches, cable assembly requires profilin but not the Arp2/3 complex. Thus formins control a distinct pathway for assembling actin filaments that organize the overall polarity of the cell...
Yeast genomics and proteomics in drug discovery and target validationAinslie B Parsons
Banting and Best Department of Medical Research, Department of Molecular and Medical Genetics, University of Toronto, Toronto, M3G 1L6 Canada
Prog Cell Cycle Res 5:159-66. 2003..This review will focus on current genetic, genomic, and proteomic methodologies in S. cerevisiae that have the potential to be useful in drug discovery and target validation...
Identification of a bacterial type III effector family with G protein mimicry functionsNeal M Alto
Department of Pharmacology, Cellular and Molecular Medicine, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, CA 92093, USA
Cell 124:133-45. 2006..The activities of IpgB2, IpgB1, and Map are dependent on an invariant WxxxE motif found in numerous effectors leading to the speculation that they all function by a similar molecular mechanism...
