Atg21p is essential for macropexophagy and microautophagy in the yeast Hansenula polymorpha.
ATG genes are required for autophagy-related processes that transport proteins/organelles destined for proteolytic degradation to the vacuole. Here, we describe the identification and characterisation of the Hansenula polymorpha ATG21 gene. Its gene product Hp-Atg21p, fused to eGFP, had a dual location in the cytosol and in peri-vacuolar dots. We demonstrate that Hp-Atg21p is essential for two ...
متن کاملHansenula polymorpha Vam7p is required for macropexophagy.
We have analyzed the functions of two vacuolar t-SNAREs, Vam3p and Vam7p, in peroxisome degradation in the methylotrophic yeast Hansenula polymorpha. A Hp-vam7 mutant was strongly affected in peroxisome degradation by selective macropexophagy as well as non-selective microautophagy. Deletion of Hp-Vam3p function had only a minor effect on peroxisome degradation processes. Both proteins were loc...
متن کاملPex14p is not required for N-starvation induced microautophagy and in catalytic amounts for macropexophagy in Hansenula polymorpha.
We showed before that the two oppositely directed processes of peroxisome biogenesis and selective peroxisome degradation (macropexophagy) converge at the peroxisomal membrane protein Pex14p. Here we show that this protein is not required for peroxisome degradation during nitrogen starvation-induced general autophagy, thereby limiting its function to the selective degradation process. Pex14p is...
متن کاملHansenula polymorpha Swi1p and Snf2p are essential for methanol utilisation.
We have cloned the Hansenula polymorpha SWI1 and SNF2 genes by functional complementation of mutants that are defective in methanol utilisation. These genes encode proteins similar to Saccharomyces cerevisiae Swi1p and Snf2p, which are subunits of the SWI/SNF complex. This complex belongs to the family of nucleosome-remodeling complexes that play a role in transcriptional control of gene expres...
متن کاملThe Hansenula polymorpha PER9 gene encodes a peroxisomal membrane protein essential for peroxisome assembly and integrity.
We have cloned and characterized the Hansenula polymorpha PER9 gene by functional complementation of the per9-1 mutant of H. polymorpha, which is defective in peroxisome biogenesis. The predicted product, Per9p, is a polypeptide of 52 kDa with sequence similarity to Pas3p, a protein involved in peroxisome biogenesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In a per9 disruption strain (Deltaper9), peroxisom...
