High impact information on MCK1

  • This observation indicates that MCK1 is required, independently, for both the activation of IME1 and subsequent ascus maturation [1].
  • We have identified a yeast gene, MCK1, that encodes a positive regulator of meiosis and spore formation [1].
  • This observation is consistent with evidence that MCK1 plays a role in governing centromere function during vegetative growth as well as sporulation [1].
  • The yeast MCK1 gene encodes a protein kinase homolog that activates early meiotic gene expression [1].
  • Increased MCK1 gene dosage accelerates the sporulation program; mck1 mutations cause delayed and decreased levels of sporulation [1].
 

Biological context of MCK1

  • Co-overexpression of MCK1 suppressed all of the phenotypes associated with PYK1 overexpression [2].
  • The significant homologs are RIM11 and MCK1 that presumably arose from a recent genome duplication followed by a rapid divergence [3].
  • The open reading frame predicts a 375 amino acid polypeptide with a putative protein kinase domain that displays 70% and 39% identity, respectively, to two known yeast proteins, Mds1p and Mck1p [4].
  • Disruption of MCK1 confers a cold-sensitive phenotype, a temperature-sensitive phenotype, and sensitivity to the microtubule-destabilizing drug benomyl and leads to loss of chromosomes during growth on benomyl [5].
  • The yeast gene MCK1 encodes a serine/threonine protein kinase that is thought to function in regulating kinetochore activity and entry into meiosis [5].
 

Anatomical context of MCK1

 

Associations of MCK1 with chemical compounds

  • The 42-kDa tyrosine-phosphorylated protein was identified as Mck1, which is a member of the GSK3 family of protein kinases and previously known to be phosphorylated on tyrosine [6].
  • These results suggest that the trehalose-6-phosphate inhibition of hexokinase activity is required for full induction of MCK1 in sporulating yeast cells [7].
  • Since Mck1p is a known serine/threonine protein kinase, this suppression is postulated to be due to Mck1p-catalyzed in vivo phosphorylation of centromere binding proteins [8].
  • Both kinases transmit nutrient signals, but Mck1 transmits additional signals including stress signals such as, temperature, osmotic shock and Ca(2+) [3].
  • The results suggest conformational alterations at the active site of YPK where phosphoryl transfer occurs upon mutation of Thr-298 [9].
 

Physical interactions of MCK1

  • In medium with a high concentration of Ca2+, Hsl1 was delocalized from the bud neck and destabilized in a manner dependent on both calcineurin and Mck1 [10].
 

Enzymatic interactions of MCK1

 

Regulatory relationships of MCK1

  • Suppression of temperature sensitivity by an osmotic stabilizer is also observed in the bul1 bul2 double null mutant, and the temperature sensitivity of the bul1 bul2 double null mutant is suppressed by multiple copies of MCK1 [11].
  • These results indicate that Mck1 negatively regulates pyruvate kinase activity, possibly by direct phosphorylation [2].
  • Mck1p must be catalytically active to inhibit Tpk1p, but Mck1p does not phosphorylate this target [12].
