High impact information on GAB1

  • From these data, we derived a consensus sequence which predicts high-affinity binding to PtdIns(3, 4)P2 and/or PtdIns(3,4,5)P3, and we have identified several new PH domain-containing proteins that bind PI3K products, including Gab1, Dos, myosinX, and Sbf1 [1].
  • The essential GAB1 gene, which encodes an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-membrane protein, was identified in a screen for mutants defective in cellular morphogenesis [2].
  • Deficiencies in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-membrane protein Gab1p perturb transfer of glycosylphosphatidylinositol to proteins and cause perinuclear ER-associated actin bar formation [2].
  • These findings suggest that Gab1p is a subunit of the GPI transamidase with distinct relationships to other subunits in the same complex [2].
  • In addition, both Gab1p and Gpi17p localize to the ER and are in the same protein complex in vivo [2].
