Disease relevance of PGI1

  • One of the two previously characterized genes coding for the abundant polygalacturonases I and II (PGI and PGII) found in a commercial pectinase preparation was used as a probe to isolate five more genes by screening a genomic DNA library in phage lambda EMBL4 using conditions of moderate stringency [1].
 

High impact information on PGI1

  • We propose that diminished GPI-anchor protein production contributes to hyperactive Ras phenotypes [2].
  • Here, we demonstrate that Eri1 is a component of the GPI-GlcNAc transferase (GPI-GnT) complex in the ER, which catalyzes transfer of GlcNAc from UDP-GlcNAc to an acceptor phosphatidylinositol, the first step in the production of GPI-anchors for cell surface proteins [2].
  • Toxin binding to spheroplasts is mediated by Kre1p, a cell wall protein initially attached to the plasma membrane by its C-terminal GPI anchor [3].
  • Therefore, GPI-anchored proteins are sorted from other proteins, in particular other plasma membrane proteins, at an early stage of the secretory pathway [4].
  • However, the specific requirements for transport of GPI-anchored proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus in yeast could be explained if protein sorting occurs earlier in the pathway [4].
 

Biological context of PGI1

 

Anatomical context of PGI1

  • The sequence of FLO11 reveals a 4,104-bp open reading frame on chromosome IX whose predicted product is similar in overall structure to the class of yeast serine/threonine-rich GPI-anchored cell wall proteins [10].
  • We report here identification and characterization of a mutation in the GPI14 gene, the yeast homologue of the mammalian PIG-M that functions in the synthesis of the GPI moiety anchoring proteins to the plasma membrane [11].
  • We show that microsomes preloaded with yeast phosphoglucose isomerase catalyzed the detritiation of [2-(3)H]glucose-6-phosphate and that this reaction was inhibited by up to 90% by S3483, a compound known to inhibit glucose-6-phosphate hydrolysis in intact but not in detergent-treated microsomes [12].
  • Beyond being an abundant membrane constituent in the organelles of the secretory pathway, IPCs are also used to constitute the lipid moiety of the majority of GPI (glycosylphosphatidylinositol) proteins, while a minority of GPI proteins contain PI (phosphatidylinositol) [13].
  • Furthermore, while the bacterial, yeast and mammalian preparations all exhibited isomerase activity, only mammalian PGI stimulated the motility of NIH-3T3 fibroblasts [14].
 

Associations of PGI1 with chemical compounds

 

Other interactions of PGI1

  • Transcriptional induction of the PDC1 gene (encoding pyruvate decarboxylase) was observed after glucose or galactose pulses were applied to the pgi1 strain, demonstrating that metabolism of these sugars beyond glucose 6-phosphate is dispensable for PDC1 induction [9].
  • The occurrence of PDC1 induction in the pgi1 strain while GAL10/HXKI repression is absent, demonstrates that the initial signals for catabolite induction and catabolite repression are different [9].
  • One class of mutants lacked pyruvate kinase (pyk), another class had all the enzymes of glycolysis, and one mutant lacked phosphoglucose isomerase (pgi, Maitra 1971) [17].
  • It has been found that a 2.6 kb LEU2 DNA fragment in a multicopy plasmid was replaced by a 3.1 kb PGI1 chromosomal DNA fragment, when both fragments were flanked by homologous DNA regions [18].
  • Ymr116c was PKA-independent, while Pgi1p, Sam1p, Gdh1p and Vma1p were fully PKA-dependent [19].
