High impact information on VPS3

  • Molecular analysis of the yeast VPS3 gene and the role of its product in vacuolar protein sorting and vacuolar segregation during the cell cycle [1].
  • vps3 mutants of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae are impaired in the sorting of newly synthesized soluble vacuolar proteins and in the acidification of the vacuole (Rothman, J. H., and T. H. Stevens. Cell. 47:1041-1051; Rothman, J. H., C. T. Yamashiro, C. K. Raymond, P. M. Kane, and T. H. Stevens. 1989. J. Cell Biol. 109:93-100) [1].
  • With the exception of a vacuolar acidification defect, the phenotypes of vps3-delta 1 strains are significantly different from those of mutants lacking the vacuolar proton-translocating ATPase [1].
  • The acidification defect of vpl3 and vpl6 mutants correlated with a marked deficiency in vacuolar ATPase activity, diminished levels of two immunoreactive subunits of the protontranslocating ATPase (H+-ATPase) in purified vacuolar membranes, and accumulation of the intracellular portion of PrA as the precursor species [2].
  • This approach identified the VPS3, VPS8 and PEP7 genes that function in vesicular trafficking between the endosome and the yeast vacuole via the carboxypeptidase Y (CpY) pathway [3].
