Disease relevance of SPS1

 

High impact information on SPS1

 

Biological context of SPS1

  • Deletion of SPS1 impinges on the formation of the spore wall, which surrounds each of the haploid nuclei generated by the meiotic divisions [5].
  • SWM1 is expressed at low levels during vegetative growth but its transcription is strongly induced under sporulating conditions, with kinetics similar to those of middle sporulation-specific genes [6].
  • All of the phenotypes observed are similar to those found for the deletion of SPS1 or SMK1, two putative components of a sporulation-specific MAP kinase cascade [6].
  • The 3' end of the transcript encoded by the SPS1 gene was found to map only 185 base pairs from the 5' end of the SPS2 gene [7].
  • A diploid MATa/MAT alpha strain homozygous for a disruption of the SPS1 gene failed to form asci when subjected to sporulation conditions [7].
 

Anatomical context of SPS1

  • Here, we demonstrate that the new internal membranes that surround the meiotic nuclei appear normal in the absence of Sps1p [5].
 

Associations of SPS1 with chemical compounds

 

Co-localisations of SPS1

  • Sps1p colocalized with Chs3p to peripheral and internal punctate structures and prospore membranes [5].
 

Regulatory relationships of SPS1

 

Other interactions of SPS1

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of SPS1

  • We tested two separate libraries built by random ligation of a single type of activator site either for a well-characterized sporulation factor, Ndt80, or for a new sporulation-specific regulatory site that we identified and several neutral spacer elements [14].
  • H4 S1ph may promote chromatin compaction, since deletion of SPS1 increases accessibility to antibody immunoprecipitation; furthermore, either deletion of Sps1 or an H4 S1A substitution results in increased DNA volume in nuclei within spores [15].
