Disease relevance of SSN8

 

High impact information on SSN8

  • Genetic and biochemical evidence indicates that the SRB10 and SRB11 proteins form a kinase-cyclin pair in the holoenzyme [2].
  • Ume3p mutants resistant to degradation resulted in a 2-fold reduction in SPO13 mRNA levels during meiosis, indicating that the down-regulation of this cyclin is important for normal meiotic gene expression [3].
  • Here we report that UME3 is also required for the full repression of the HSP70 family member SSA1 [3].
  • However, Ume3p is destroyed during meiosis or when cultures are subjected to heat shock [3].
  • UME3 encodes a non-essential C-type cyclin (Ume3p) whose levels do not vary through the mitotic cell cycle [3].
 

Biological context of SSN8

  • This report demonstrates that Ume3p levels are also reduced in cultures subjected to ethanol shock, oxidative stress, or carbon starvation or during growth on nonfermentable carbons [4].
  • Second, Srb11p is required for the efficient execution of meiosis I. srb11delta mutants either exhibited a delay in performing meiosis I and meiosis II or skipped meiosis I entirely [5].
  • First, SRB11 is required for the normal exit from the mitotic cell cycle prior to meiotic induction [5].
  • Specifically, mutants lacking SRB11 (srb11delta) uncouple bud growth from chromosome segregation, producing small buds with nuclei [5].
  • Genetic interactions among srb mutations imply that a balance between the activities of Srb8 + Srb10 and Srb11 is important for normal cell growth [6].
 

Anatomical context of SSN8

 

Associations of SSN8 with chemical compounds

 

Physical interactions of SSN8

  • We used the split-ubiquitin system to demonstrate that Tup1p interacts with Srb11p in vivo [9].
 

Regulatory relationships of SSN8

  • Finally, a ume3 null allele suppresses the growth defect of plc1 mutants in response to either elevated temperature or the presence of hydrogen peroxide [4].
  • Genetic analysis indicates that the SSN3-SSN8 complex contributes to transcriptional repression of diversely regulated genes and also affects induction of the GAL1 promoter [10].
 

Other interactions of SSN8

  • Previous work showed that a cyclin-dependent kinase-cyclin pair encoded by SSN3 and SSN8, two members of the SSN suppressor family, are identical to two SRB proteins in the mediator [11].
  • Oxidative stress-induced destruction of the yeast C-type cyclin Ume3p requires phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C and the 26S proteasome [4].
  • This model is supported by the finding that overexpression of the meiotic inducer IME2 partially restored the ability of srb11 mutants to perform meiosis I [5].
  • We propose that Tup1p targets the cyclin Srb11p to affect the cyclin-dependent kinase Srb10p [9].
  • Finally, Ume3p destruction was not affected in mutants defective for ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis [3].
