High impact information on BEM4

  • The coiled-coil domain is important for interaction with Cdc3 and Bem4 [1].
  • ROM7/BEM4 encodes a novel protein that interacts with the Rho1p small GTP-binding protein in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [2].
  • Disruption of BEM4 resulted in the cold- and temperature-sensitive growth phenotypes, and cells of the deltabem4 mutant showed abnormal morphology, suggesting that BEM4 is involved in the budding process [2].
  • Cells from which BEM4 was deleted were inviable at 37 degrees C. These cells became unbudded, large, and round, consistent with a model in which Bem4p acts together with Cdc42p in polarity establishment and bud emergence [3].
 

Other interactions of BEM4

  • This finding suggests that Bem4p also affects Rho1p function [3].
