High impact information on SUR2

  • The TRAP100-deficient TRAP/Mediator complex also lacks TRAP95 and TRAP150 beta/SUR2, which together with TRAP100 may form a submodule, and contains a reduced amount of SRB10/CDK8 [1].
  • Gene dosage experiments using the sphingolipid long chain sphingoid base (LCB) hydroxylase gene, SUR2, suggest that erg26-1 cells may accumulate LCB, thus placing one point of sterol regulation of sphingolipid synthesis possibly at the level of ceramide metabolism [2].
  • These results show that the SYR2 gene is required for the 4-hydroxylation reaction of sphingolipid long chain bases, that this hydroxylation is not essential for growth, and that the 4-hydroxyl group of sphingolipids is necessary for syringomycin E action on yeast [3].
  • The Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene SYR2, necessary for growth inhibition by the cyclic lipodepsipeptide syringomycin E, is shown to be required for 4-hydroxylation of long chain bases in sphingolipid biosynthesis [3].
  • Mutants defective in both YSR2 and SUR2, which accumulated dihydrosphingosine 1-phosphate only, grew poorly [4].

Other interactions of SUR2

  • Ten mutants were obtained, ranged amongst four complementation groups, named SUR1, SUR2, SUR3 and SUR4 [9].
  • Two other genes involved in sphingolipid biosynthesis (LCB2 and SUR2) were found to contain PDREs in their promoters and to be induced by the Pdr pathway [10].
  • Both predicted proteins consist of 258 amino acid residues (77% identity) which show sequence similarity to di-iron-binding enzymes, such as Sur2p and Erg3p from yeast, involved in oxygen-dependent lipid modifications [11].
