Disease relevance of SEC7

  • The His6-tagged Sec7 domain from ySec7p (rySec7d) synthesized in Escherichia coli enhanced binding of guanosine 5'-[gamma-[35S]thio]triphosphate by recombinant yeast ARF1 (ryARF1) and ryARF2 but not by ryARF3 [1].
 

High impact information on SEC7

  • EMB30 is essential for normal cell division, cell expansion, and cell adhesion in Arabidopsis and encodes a protein that has similarity to Sec7 [2].
  • Vps1p-specific antibody labels punctate cytoplasmic structures that condense to larger structures in a Golgi-accumulating sec7 mutant; thus, Vps1p may associate with an intermediate organelle of the secretory pathway [3].
  • The glycosylated precursor first experiences proteolytic processing when accumulated in a mutant (sec7) blocked at the stage of the Golgi apparatus [4].
  • Gea1 contains a domain that is similar to a domain of Sec7, a protein necessary for intra-Golgi transport [5].
  • Mutations in the yeast SEC7 gene disrupt protein transport in the secretory pathway at the nonpermissive temperature [6].
 

Biological context of SEC7

  • A single copy of the authentic SEC7 gene permits growth of mutant cells, whereas the other gene suppresses growth deficiency only when expressed from a multicopy plasmid [7].
  • These results suggest a requirement for Sec7p cycling on and off of the membranes for cell growth and vesicular traffic [8].
  • To identify mammalian homologs of Sec7p and its interacting proteins, we used a genetic selection strategy in which a human HepG2 cDNA library was transformed into conditional-lethal yeast sec7 mutants [8].
  • Yeast Ysl2p, homologous to Sec7 domain guanine nucleotide exchange factors, functions in endocytosis and maintenance of vacuole integrity and interacts with the Arf-Like small GTPase Arl1p [9].
  • We show that the target of BFA inhibition of ARF exchange activity is an ARF-GDP-Sec7 domain protein complex, and that BFA acts to stabilize this complex to a greater extent for a BFA-sensitive Sec7 domain than for a resistant one [10].
 

Anatomical context of SEC7

 

Associations of SEC7 with chemical compounds

  • Interestingly, the Sec7 domain activity is inhibited by brefeldin A (BFA), a fungal metabolite that inhibits some of the Arf-GEFs, indicating that this domain is a target for BFA [14].
  • Conversion of A into B was also prevented in sec7 cells by the presence of dinitrophenol, a poison that depletes ATP levels, indicating that processing is dependent upon intracellular transport which involves ER --> Golgi and/or, at least, one intra-Golgi step(s) [12].
  • When the supply of newly synthesized exoglucanase was prevented by the addition of cycloheximide, the accumulated A was transformed into B in the presence of altered Sec7p that still prevented secretion [12].
  • Brefeldin A acts to stabilize an abortive ARF-GDP-Sec7 domain protein complex: involvement of specific residues of the Sec7 domain [10].
  • The addition of mannose is completely abolished in the early secretory mutant sec53, attenuated in the late-endoplasmic reticulum-blocked sec18, and unaffected in sec7, which is blocked late in the Golgi phase of secretion [15].
 

Physical interactions of SEC7

  • A 50-amino acid region near the Sec7 C terminus is required for Rsp5 binding and for normal Sec7 localization [16].
 

Co-localisations of SEC7

  • Ric1p largely colocalizes with the late Golgi marker Sec7p [17].
  • Furthermore, we demonstrate that Trs120p largely colocalizes with the late Golgi marker Sec7p [18].
 

Other interactions of SEC7

  • In double-immunofluorescence labeling experiments, significant colocalization of Sec7 and Kex2 proteins was found [19].
  • The GFP-Ysl2p staining is sensitive to a mutation in VPS27 resulting in the formation of an aberrant class E compartment, but it is not affected by a sec7 mutation [9].
  • However, PMR1 shows only partial colocalization with known Golgi markers, KEX2 and SEC7, in double-label immunofluorescence experiments [20].
  • Several proteins that belong to the Sec7-domain family, including the yeast Gea1p, have recently been shown to stimulate nucleotide exchange by Arf GTPases [14].
  • Soluble fractions prepared from temperature-sensitive mutants revealed requirements for the Ypt1p, Sec19p, Sly1p, Sec7p, and Uso1 proteins [21].
