High impact information on PRT1

  • By characterizing the mutant subcomplexes, we confirmed all key predictions of our model and uncovered new interactions of NIP1 with PRT1 and of TIF32 with eIF1 [1].
  • Thus, several key functions of eIF3 can be carried out by the PRT1-TIF32-NIP1 subcomplex [2].
  • Our results provide support for both physical and functional interactions between three subunits, TIF34, PRT1 and p33, in the eIF3 complex [3].
  • Yeast prt1 mutations alter heat-shock gene expression through transcript fragmentation [4].
  • This untimely mRNA degradation accounts for the disproportionate decreases in polypeptide synthesis in prt1 mutant cells [4].
 

Biological context of PRT1

  • It maps to the right arm of chromosome XV, tightly linked to PRT1, and its sequence matches the sequence of PDE2, encoding the low-Km cAMP phosphodiesterase [5].
  • This protein-synthesis mutation exerts a dna phenotype due to cell-cycle inhibition: prt1 mutations can block the regulatory step of the cell cycle while allowing significant amounts of protein synthesis to continue [6].
  • Isolation and characterization of PRT1, a gene required for the initiation of protein biosynthesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [7].
  • Transcript analysis and deletion of the PRT1 5' end revealed that translation of PRT1 mRNA is probably initiated at the second in-frame ATG in the open reading frame [8].
  • Molecular characterization of the yeast PRT1 gene in which mutations affect translation initiation and regulation of cell proliferation [9].
 

Anatomical context of PRT1

  • This polysome association was further verified by using a conditional allele of essential translation initiation factor PRT1, which markedly decreased polysome association of viral genomic RNA in the presence or absence of an LSM7 mutation [10].
  • Nip1p associates with 40 S ribosomes and the Prt1p subunit of eukaryotic initiation factor 3 and is required for efficient translation initiation [11].
 

Associations of PRT1 with chemical compounds

  • We purified a polyhistidine-tagged form of Prt1p (His-Prt1p) by Ni2+ affinity and gel filtration chromatography and obtained a complex of approximately 600 kDa composed of six polypeptides whose copurification was completely dependent on the polyhistidine tag on His-Prt1p [12].
  • This response of cessation of cell division is different from the response of cells to an equivalent limitation of protein synthesis using cycloheximide or verrucarin A, which implies that the PRT1 gene product could separately influence both cellular growth via protein synthesis and events in the regulation of cell proliferation [13].
  • Translation initiation factor Prt1 was purified from a ribosomal salt wash fraction of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells by ammonium sulfate precipitation, DEAE chromatography, phosphocellulose chromatography, sucrose density gradient centrifugation, and non-denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis [14].
  • However, under conditions in which ribosome biogenesis was inhibited (e.g., inhibition of transcription with thiolutin, inhibition of transcription of ribosomal protein and RNA genes in a sly1-1 mutant at nonpermissive temperature, and inhibition of translation in a conditional prt1 mutant), Nmd3p remained associated with 60S subunits [15].
 

Other interactions of PRT1

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of PRT1

  • 2. Southern blot analysis demonstrated that PRT1 is a single copy gene which is transcribed into a 2.3-kilobase RNA [7].
  • Here we report the molecular cloning and characterization of the PRT1 gene from yeast [9].
  • Immunoblotting shows that the 90-kDa subunit corresponds to the product of the PRT1 gene whose mutant form, prt1-1, exhibits destabilization of methionyl-tRNAi binding to 40 S ribosomal subunits. eIF-3, and specifically the 62-kDa subunit, bind to RNA [18].
