High impact information on MVP1

  • The Saccharomyces cerevisiae MVP1 gene interacts with VPS1 and is required for vacuolar protein sorting [1].
  • MVP1 encodes a 59-kDa hydrophilic protein, Mvp1p, which appears to colocalize with Vps1p in vps1d and vps27 delta yeast cells [1].
  • We therefore propose that Mvp1p and Vps1p act in concert to promote membrane traffic to the vacuole [1].
  • Sorting nexins (SNX) comprise a family of proteins with homology to several yeast proteins, including Vps5p and Mvp1p, that are required for the sorting of proteins to the yeast vacuole [2].
 

Biological context of MVP1

  • One such suppressor, MVP1, that exhibits genetic interaction with VPS1 and is itself required for vacuolar protein sorting has been isolated [1].
 

Regulatory relationships of MVP1

  • Overproduction of Mvp1p will suppress several dominant alleles of VPS1, and suppression is dependent on the presence of wild-type Vps1p [1].
