Disease relevance of FPS1

 

High impact information on FPS1

  • Two of these cell fusion mutants are defective in the FPS1 gene, which codes for a glycerol facilitator (Luyten, K., J. Albertyn, W.F. Skibbe, B.A. Prior, J. Ramos, J.M. Thevelein, and S. Hohmann. 1995. EMBO [Eur. Mol. Biol. Organ.] J. 14:1360-1371) [3].
  • The suppression of ggs1/tps1 delta mutants by GPD1 depends on the presence of Fps1 [4].
  • Fps1, a yeast member of the MIP family of channel proteins, is a facilitator for glycerol uptake and efflux and is inactive under osmotic stress [4].
  • Here we show that overexpression of FPS1 enhances glycerol production [4].
  • Glycerol-uptake experiments showed that the permeability of the yeast plasma membrane for glycerol consists of an Fps1-independent component probably due to simple diffusion and of an Fps1-dependent component representing facilitated diffusion [4].

Other interactions of FPS1

  • We find that loss of function mutations in FPS1, a gene encoding the major glycerol transporter in yeast activates the reporter in a SLN1-dependent fashion [17].
  • The yeast hnRNP-like protein Hrp1/Nab4 sccumulates in the cytoplasm after hyperosmotic stress: a novel Fps1-dependent response [5].
  • As in S. cerevisiae, chromosomal linkage between the K. lactis QCR8 and FPS1 genes is conserved, the two genes being separated by only 292 bp [12].
  • In agreement with this finding, hog1 cells containing an fps1 allele, encoding a constitutively open glycerol channel, have lost their temperature-remedial osmoresistance [18].
  • The roles of three membrane proteins, BOR1, DUR3, and FPS1, in boron (B) transport in yeast were examined [19].
