High impact information on TEP1

  • Yeast strains deleted for TEP1 exhibit essentially no phenotype in haploids; however, diploids exhibit resistance to the phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate kinase inhibitor wortmannin and to lithium ions [1].
  • TEP1 RNA is present throughout the cell cycle, and levels are dramatically up-regulated during meiotic development [1].
  • Although rates of cancer increase with age, neither tep1 haploids nor diploids have altered life spans [1].
  • Although homozygous tep1 mutants initiate the meiotic program and form spores with wild-type kinetics, analysis of the spores produced in tep1 mutants indicates a specific defect in the trafficking or deposition of dityrosine, a major component of yeast spore walls, to the surface [1].
  • This effect depends on PI3K kinase activity and is reversed partially by a PI3K inhibitor (LY294002) and reversed fully by co-expression of catalytically active PTEN (but not its purported yeast orthologue, Tep1) [2].
