High impact information on HYM1

  • CBK1 and another gene, HYM1, were previously identified in a screen for genes involved in transcriptional repression and proposed to function in the same pathway [1].
  • We also identified a novel leucine-rich repeat-containing protein Sog2p that interacts with Hym1p and Kic1p [2].
  • Furthermore, the budding yeast MO25 homologue, Hym1, is important for cell separation and morphogenesis [3].
  • Finally, our findings suggest that Hym1p requires the Dcr2p phosphatase to promote the G1/S transition, but it does not require the G1 cyclin Cln3p or the RAS pathway [4].
  • Our results suggest opposing roles of RAM proteins, where only Hym1p can promote the transition from the G1 to S phase of the cell cycle [4].
 

Biological context of HYM1

  • Deletion of HYM1 causes phenotypes similar to those observed in cbk1Delta cells and disrupts the bud neck localization of Cbk1p [1].
  • Here, we report that increased dosage of HYM1 apparently shortens the G1 phase of the cell cycle [5].
  • Genetic analysis of HYM1, ACE2 and CLN3 mutants suggests that these genes together contribute to the establishment of asynchronous mother-daughter cell divisions, but probably not in a linear pathway [5].
  • Our overall data suggest that Hym1p has a regulatory role in cell cycle progression [5].
 

Regulatory relationships of HYM1

  • In yeast, Hym1p plays a role in cellular morphogenesis and also promotes the daughter cell-specific localization of the Ace2p transcription factor [5].
 

Other interactions of HYM1

  • In the absence of HYM1 or ACE2, mother and daughter cells divide with the same generation times [5].
