Disease relevance of SEC20

 

High impact information on SEC20

 

Biological context of SEC20

  • We have cloned the SEC20 gene by complementation of the temperature sensitive phenotype of a sec20-1 strain [5].
  • The DNA sequence predicts a 44 kDa protein with a single membrane-spanning region; Sec20p has an apparent molecular weight of 50 kDa and behaves as an integral membrane protein with carbohydrate modifications that appear to be O-linked [5].
  • Divergence of eukaryotic secretory components: the Candida albicans homolog of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae ++Sec20 protein is N terminally truncated, and its levels determine antifungal drug resistance and growth [1].
  • These results demonstrate the occurrence and function of Sec20p in a fungal species other than S. cerevisiae, but the lack of the N-terminal domain and the apparent absence of a close TIP20 homolog in the C. albicans genome also indicate a considerable diversity in mechanisms of retrograde vesicle traffic in eukaryotes [1].

Physical interactions of SEC20

 

Other interactions of SEC20

  • Sec20p and Tip20p were previously identified as two interacting proteins involved in early steps of the secretory pathway in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [7].
  • Based on the previously reported association with Ufe1 and Sec22, Sec20 likely contributes the fourth SNARE to the SNAREpin [8].
  • We also discovered that in vivo, Sly1p was associated with a SNARE complex formed on the ER, and that in vitro, the SM protein directly interacted with the ER-localized nonsyntaxin SNAREs Use1p/Slt1p and Sec20p [9].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of SEC20

  • Coimmunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence using Tip1p and Sec20p or its cytoplasmic domain showed that the two proteins physically interact to form a stable complex [4].
