The ras-like yeast YPT1 gene is itself essential for growth, sporulation, and starvation response.
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene YPT1 encodes a protein that exhibits significant homology to the mammalian ras proteins. Using gene disruption techniques, we have shown that the intact YPT1 gene is required for spore viability. Lethality caused by loss of YPT1 function, unlike that caused by loss of the yeast ras homologs RAS1 and RAS2 function, is not suppressed by the bcy1 mutation, suggest...
متن کاملThe ras-related mouse ypt1 protein can functionally replace the YPT1 gene product in yeast.
The protein-coding region of the essential Saccharomyces cerevisiae YPT1 gene coding for a ras-related, guanine-nucleotide-binding protein was exchanged in chromosome VI by the protein-coding segment of either the mouse ypt1 gene or the v-Ki-ras gene, and different chimeric YPT1-v-Ki-ras genes. The mouse ypt1 protein with 71% of identical residues compared with the yeast Ypt1 protein could func...
متن کاملThe Ypt1 GTPase is essential for the first two steps of the yeast secretory pathway
Small GTPases of the rab family are involved in the regulation of vesicular transport. The restricted distribution of each of these proteins in mammalian cells has led to the suggestion that different rab proteins act at different steps of transport (Pryer, N. K., L. J. Wuestehube, and R. Sheckman. 1992. Annu Rev. Biochem. 61:471-516; Zerial, M., and H. Stenmark. 1993. Curr. Opin. Cell Biol. 5:...
متن کاملInsulin-like growth factor I is essential for postnatal growth in response to growth hormone.
Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) is essential for cell growth and intrauterine development while both IGF-I and GH are required for postnatal growth. To explore the possibility of direct GH action on body growth, independent of IGF-I production, we have studied the effects of GH in an IGF-I-deficient mouse line created by the Cre/loxP system. The IGF-I null mice are born with 35% growth ret...
متن کاملRas membrane targeting is essential for glucose signaling but not for viability in yeast.
Ras proteins are small GTP binding proteins that serve as critical relays in a variety of signal transduction pathways in eukaryotic cells. Like most metazoan Ras proteins, yeast Ras is post-translationally modified by addition of a farnesyl and a palmitoyl moiety, and these modifications are required for targeting the protein to the cytoplasmic face of the plasma membrane and for biological ac...
