High impact information on GEA1

  • Gea1 contains a domain that is similar to a domain of Sec7, a protein necessary for intra-Golgi transport [1].
  • We show that the activity of the complex is sensitive to brefeldin A and that Gea1 function is necessary for ER-Golgi transport in vivo [1].
  • We provide multiple genetic and biochemical evidence for an interaction between Ysl12p and the Arf-like protein Arl1p, consistent with a potential function as an Arf guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) [2].
  • This interaction involves a domain of Gea1p and Gea2p that is conserved in the eukaryotic orthologues of the Gea proteins [3].
  • Conditional mutants defective in both GEA1 and GEA2 accumulate endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi membranes under restrictive conditions [4].
 

Biological context of GEA1

  • The GEA1 and GEA2 genes, which code for paralog guanosine exchange factors for Arf proteins, were identified as multicopy suppressors of the mutant phenotype [5].
 

Anatomical context of GEA1

 

Other interactions of GEA1

  • Several proteins that belong to the Sec7-domain family, including the yeast Gea1p, have recently been shown to stimulate nucleotide exchange by Arf GTPases [7].
