Disease relevance of IKI3

 

High impact information on IKI3

 

Biological context of IKI3

 

Associations of IKI3 with chemical compounds

  • An early step in wobble uridine tRNA modification requires the Elongator complex [10].
  • Furthermore, the plant Elongator complex is genetically positioned in the process of RNAPII-mediated transcription downstream of Mediator [5].
  • Iki3p may contain a transmembrane domain near the NH2-terminal region (97-113 residues in a total of 1349 amino acids) [7].
 

Other interactions of IKI3

  • Purification of Elongator in higher salt concentrations served to demonstrate that the complex could be separated into two subcomplexes: one consisted of Elp1, -2, and -3, and the other consisted of Elp4, -5, and -6 [11].
  • Despite being dispensable for Tot4-Tot2 interaction, the extreme C-terminus of Tot1p may play a role in TOT/Elongator function, as its truncation confers zymocin resistance [12].
  • Transfer RNA immunoprecipitation experiments showed that the Elp1 and Elp3 proteins specifically coprecipitate a tRNA susceptible to formation of an mcm5 side chain, indicating a direct role of Elongator in tRNA modification [10].
  • Consistently, Sit4 and Tot4 mutually oppose Tot1 de-/phosphorylation, which is dispensable for integrity of holo-Elongator but crucial for the TOT-dependent G1 block by zymocin [8].
  • Phosphorylation of its largest subunit Tot1 (Elp1) is supported by Kti11, an Elongator-interactor essential for zymocin action [8].
