High impact information on VPS36

  • We show that yeast ESCRT-I links directly to ESCRT-II, through a tight interaction of Vps28 (ESCRT-I) with the yeast-specific zinc-finger insertion within the GLUE domain of Vps36 (ESCRT-II) [1].
  • To identify the functionally relevant interacting proteins, we analyzed all of the available gene deletion mutants and found three (vps36 Delta, pep12 Delta, and tlg2 Delta) that induce STRE and also repress pheromone-dependent transcription [2].
  • A vps36 Delta mutation diminishes signaling by pheromone as well as by downstream components including the G protein, effector kinase (Ste11), and transcription factor (Ste12) [2].
  • Conversely, overexpression of Vps36 enhances the pheromone response in sst2 Delta cells but not in wild type [2].
  • In this study, we have analyzed trafficking in the endosomal system by monitoring the movement of Pma1-7 in vps36, vps1, and vps8 mutants [3].
 

Biological context of VPS36

  • Residues in two amino-terminal PPXY motifs (motif I and II), involved in dimerization of Vps25p and interaction with Vps22p and Vps36p, were closely, but not absolutely conserved [4].
 

Other interactions of VPS36

  • Upon induction of expression, mutant Pma1 accumulates in the prevacuolar compartment in vps36 cells [3].
  • Two PPXY-motifs from Vps25 are involved in contacts with Vps22 and Vps36, and their mutation leads to ESCRT-II disruption [5].
