High impact information on PTR3

  • Upon detection of external amino acids, Ssy1-Ptr3 likely allows-in a manner dependent on SCF(Grr1)-the Ssy5 endoprotease to gain access to and to cleave Stp1, this requiring prior phosphorylation of Stp1 by casein kinase I [1].
  • Mutations in SSY5 manifest phenotypes that are indistinguishable from those resulting from either single ssy1 and ptr3 mutations or ssy5 ssy1 and ssy5 ptr3 double mutations [2].
  • Genetic and biochemical analysis of the yeast plasma membrane Ssy1p-Ptr3p-Ssy5p sensor of extracellular amino acids [2].
  • Mutations in SSY1 and PTR3 were identified in a genetic selection for components required for the proper uptake and compartmentalization of histidine in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [3].
  • Ssy1p requires the endoplasmic reticulum protein Shr3p, the amino acid permease-specific packaging chaperonin, to reach the PM, whereas Ptr3p does not [3].

Associations of PTR3 with chemical compounds

 

Regulatory relationships of PTR3

  • PTR3 was required for amino acid-induced expression of PTR2, the gene encoding the dipeptide/tripeptide transport protein, but was not necessary for nitrogen catabolite repression of peptide import or PTR2 expression [4].
 

Other interactions of PTR3

  • The PTR system consists of three genes, PTR1, PTR2 and PTR3 [8].
  • However, Stp1 processing does not require SCF(Grr1), Ssy1, or Ptr3 when Ssy5 is overproduced [1].
  • Isolation and screening of 31 additional N-methyl-N-nitro-N-Nitrosoguanidine (MNNG)-induced, peptide transport-deficient mutants produced one ptr3 and 30 ptr2 strains: no additional complementation groups were detected [9].
  • Two plasma membrane-associated proteins, Ptr3p and Ssy5p, participate in the sensing, which results in cleavage of the transcription factors Stp1p and Stp2p, removing 10 kDa of the N terminus of each of them [6].
