High impact information on NVJ1

  • These results indicate that Nvj1p retains and compartmentalizes Tsc13p at NV junctions and that VLCFAs contribute to the normal biogenesis of trilaminar PMN structures in yeast [1].
  • The targeting of Tsc13p-GFP into NV junctions is perturbed by cerulenin, suggesting that its binding to Nvj1p depends on the availability of fatty acid substrates [1].
  • Nucleus-vacuole (NV) junctions in Saccharomyces cerevisiae are formed through specific interactions between Vac8p on the vacuole membrane and Nvj1p in the nuclear envelope [2].
  • Nvj1p green fluorescent protein (GFP) concentrated in small patches or rafts at sites of close contact between the nucleus and one or more vacuoles [3].
  • Nvj1p is an integral membrane protein of the nuclear envelope and interacts with Vac8p in the cytosol through its C-terminal 40-60 amino acids (aa) [3].
 

Biological context of NVJ1

  • In response to nutrient depletion, Nvj1p increasingly binds and sequesters two proteins with roles in lipid metabolism, Osh1p and Tsc13p [4].
 

Anatomical context of NVJ1

 

Co-localisations of NVJ1

  • Orphan rafts of Vac8p red-sifted GFP (YFP) colocalize at sites of NV junctions with Nvj1p blue-sifted GFP (CFP) [3].
 

Other interactions of NVJ1

  • Osh1p is targeted to NV junctions proportional to NVJ1 expression through a physical association with Nvj1p [5].
  • Here we describe the surprising role of Vac8p-Nvj1p complexes in the formation of nucleus-vacuole (NV) junctions [3].
