Functional and physical interaction between yeast Hsp90 and Hsp70

Functional and physical interaction between the yeast splicing factors Slu7 and Prp18.

We show that the requirement for Prp18 during the second step of actin pre-mRNA splicing in vitro is dictated by the distance between the branch point and the 3'splice site. Prp18 is dispensable for splicing of precursor RNAs in which the interval between the branch point and 3'splice site is <12 nt. This resembles the requirement for another second step factor, Slu7. Excess Slu7 protein can by...

Physical and functional interaction between yeast Pif1 helicase and Rim1 single-stranded DNA binding protein

Pif1 helicase plays various roles in the maintenance of nuclear and mitochondrial genome integrity in most eukaryotes. Here, we used a proteomics approach called isotopic differentiation of interactions as random or targeted to identify specific protein complexes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Pif1. We identified a stable association between Pif1 and a mitochondrial SSB, Rim1. In vitro co-precipit...

An Hsp70/Hsp90 Co-Chaperone That Functions Within and Beyond Hsp70/Hsp90 Protein Folding Pathways

Molecular chaperones and their co-chaperones are crucial for the facilitation of efficient protein folding, and prevention of denaturation and aggregation of nascent polypeptides. Hsp70/Hsp90 organizing protein (Hop), a co-chaperone of the two major molecular chaperones, heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) and heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90), facilitates their interaction by acting as an adaptor betwee...

Physical and functional interaction between WRNIP1 and RAD18.

WRN interacting protein 1 (WRNIP1) was originally identified as a protein that interacts with the Werner syndrome responsible gene product (WRN). WRNIP1 is a highly conserved protein from E. coli to humans. Genetic studies in budding yeast suggested that the yeast orthlog of WRNIP1, Mgs1, may function in a DNA damage tolerance pathway that is similar to, but distinct from, the template-switch d...
