Disease relevance of NAP1

 

High impact information on NAP1

 

Biological context of NAP1

  • Our experiments also suggest that NAP1 is required for the ability of the Clb2/p34CDC28 kinase complex to amplify its own production, and that NAP1 plays a role in regulation of microtubule dynamics during mitosis [7].
  • Together, these results demonstrate that NAP1 is required for the normal function of the activated Clb2/p34CDC28 kinase complex, and provide a step towards understanding how cyclin-dependent kinase complexes induce specific events during the cell cycle [7].
  • This result suggests that yeast NAP1 is required for the maintenance of cumulative nucleosome formation in vivo and the loss of Nap1 leads to a change in the gene expression level in a cluster [8].
  • Saccharomyces cerevisiae Ats1p interacts with Nap1p, a cytoplasmic protein that controls bud morphogenesis [9].
  • These results are consistent with a role for plant NAP1-like proteins in cell division [10].
 

Anatomical context of NAP1

 

Physical interactions of NAP1

 

Regulatory relationships of NAP1

  • Our results suggest Ats1p might regulate coordination of the microtubule state with the cell cycle through an interaction with Nap1p [9].
  • The results are consistent with the idea that the effects of the spt mutations on nucleosome assembly and/or stability activate repressors of HTA1 transcription [18].
  • Furthermore, we demonstrate that Nap1p promotes the association of the H2A and H2B NLSs specifically with the karyopherin Kap114p [15].
  • Transcription from constructs designed to create steric competition between binding of HSF and histone H2A-H2B dimers was generally poor, suggesting that nucleosome assembly precedes and inhibits HSF binding [19].
 

Other interactions of NAP1

  • The stable maintenance of Nis1 was dependent on Nap1 [20].
  • In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, additional functions have been ascribed to Nap1, as it has been shown to interact with Clb2 (B type cyclin) and Gin4 (septum formation) [8].
  • We have examined the ability of the yeast mitotic cyclin Clb2 to function in cells that lack NAP1 [7].
  • NAP1 acts with Clb1 to perform mitotic functions and to suppress polar bud growth in budding yeast [7].
  • Consistent with this, we have found that Nap1 is required for viability in cells lacking the redundant G1 cyclins Cln1 and Cln2 [13].
