High impact information on RGD1

Genetic relationships between either VRP1 or RGD1 and actin cytoskeleton-linked genes were also studied [1].
The non-essential RGD1 gene from Saccharomyces cerevisiae encodes a protein that has been characterized in vitro as a Rho GTPase activating protein (RhoGAP) for the Rho3 and Rho4 proteins [1].
To better understand the role of Rgd1p, we isolated multicopy suppressor genes of the cell lethality of the double mutant rgd1Delta mid2Delta [2].
The RhoGAP Rgd1p is involved in different signal transduction pathways in Saccharomyces cerevisiae through its regulatory activity upon the Rho3 and Rho4 GTPases [3].
RGD1, encoding a RhoGAP involved in low-pH survival, is an Msn2p/Msn4p regulated gene in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [3].

Biological context of RGD1

The RGD1 gene was identified during systematic genome sequencing of Saccharomyces cerevisiae [4].
This gene was expressed in haploid and diploid cells and was called RGD1 for related GAP domain 1 [5].
The Rgd1p Rho GTPase-activating protein and the Mid2p cell wall sensor are required at low pH for protein kinase C pathway activation and cell survival in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [6].

Anatomical context of RGD1

Co-inactivation of RGD1 and WSC1, which is a cell wall sensor-encoding gene, is lethal [7].

Associations of RGD1 with chemical compounds

As for mutants altered in PKC pathway, the accumulation of small-budded dead cells in slg1, rgd1 and mid2 after heat shock was prevented by 1 M sorbitol [4].

Regulatory relationships of RGD1

The nonessential RGD1 gene encodes a Rho-GTPase activating protein for the Rho3 and Rho4 proteins in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [2].

Other interactions of RGD1

In contrast, the genetic interaction between RGD1 and MID2 was not due to an accumulation of GTP-bound Rho proteins [7].
Rgd1, a GTPase-activating protein, is the only known negative regulator of the Rho3 and Rho4 small GTPases in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae [7].
It was proposed that simultaneous inactivation of RGD1 and WSC1 constitutively activates the PKC-mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAP kinase) pathway [7].
YBR1733 is homologous to rab protein and YBR1728 is presumably a GTPase activating protein [8].
