High impact information on pyp1

Simultaneous inactivation of pyp1 and pyp2 PTPases in fission yeast leads to aberrant cell morphology and growth arrest [1].
Cells bearing inactive wee1 are unresponsive to disruption of pyp1 [2].
Disruption of either gene rescues the G2 arrest caused by mutation of the cdc25 mitotic inducer, though the effect of pyp1-disruption is more pronounced [2].
Disruption of pyp2 has no impact on cell viability, but pyp2 is essential in strains lacking the 60 kDa pyp1 PTPase [2].
Our data suggest that pyp1+ and pyp2+ act as negative regulators of mitosis upstream of the wee1+/mik1+ pathway [3].

Biological context of pyp1

Overexpression of pyp1+ inhibits both transcription of the fbp1 gene, which is negatively regulated by a glucose-induced activation of PKA, and sexual development, which is negatively regulated by PKA through a nitrogen- and glucose-monitoring mechanism [4].

Associations of pyp1 with chemical compounds

The fission yeast genes pyp1+ and pyp2+ encode protein tyrosine phosphatases that negatively regulate mitosis [3].

Regulatory relationships of pyp1

Previous studies suggest that overexpression of pyp1+ results in a mitotic delay by positively regulating wee1 activity [4].

Other interactions of pyp1

We show that pyp1 repression of fbp1 transcription is independent of wee1 [4].
