چکیده
Yeast Yip1p is a member of a conserved family of transmembrane proteins that interact with Rab GTPases. Previous studies have also indicated a role for Yip1p in the biogenesis of ER-derived COPII transport vesicles. In this report we describe the identification and characterization of the uncharacterized open reading frame YER074W-A as a novel multi-copy suppressor of the thermosensitive yip1-4 strain. We have termed this gene YOS1 (Yip One Suppressor 1). Yos1p is essential for growth and for function of the secretory pathway; depletion or inactivation of Yos1p blocks transport between the ER and the Golgi complex. YOS1 encodes an integral membrane protein of 87 amino acids that is conserved in eukaryotes. Yos1p localizes to ER and Golgi membranes and is efficiently packaged into ER-derived COPII transport vesicles. Yos1p associates with Yip1p and Yif1p, indicating Yos1p is a novel subunit of the Yip1p-Yif1p complex.

Characterization of YIPF3 and YIPF4, cis-Golgi Localizing Yip domain family proteins.
The Yip1 domain family (YIPF) proteins are homologues of yeast Yip1p and Yif1p, which are proposed to function in ER to Golgi transport. Here, we report the characterization of YIPF3 and YIPF4, homologues of human Yif1p and Yip1p, respectively. Immunofluorescence and immuno-electron microscopy showed that both YIPF3 and YIPF4 are clearly concentrated in the cis-Golgi. While YIPF4 was detected a...
متن کاملThe Potential Mechanism of ZFX Involvement in Cell Growth
Background:The zinc-finger X linked (ZFX) gene encodes a transcription factor that acts as a regulator of self-renewal of stem cells. Due to the role of ZFX in cell growth, understanding ZFX protein-protein interactions helps to clarify its proper biological functions in signaling pathways. The aim of this study is to define ZFX protein-protein interactions and the role of ZFX in cell growth. ...
متن کاملMulticopy suppressor analysis of thermosensitive YIP1 alleles implicates GOT1 in transport from the ER.
Yip1p belongs to a conserved family of membrane-spanning proteins that are involved in intracellular trafficking. Studies have shown that Yip1p forms a heteromeric integral membrane complex, is required for biogenesis of ER-derived COPII vesicles, and can interact with Rab GTPases. However, the role of the Yip1 complex in vesicle budding is not well understood. To gain further insight, we isola...
متن کاملA role for Yip1p in COPII vesicle biogenesis
Yeast Ypt1p-interacting protein (Yip1p) belongs to a conserved family of transmembrane proteins that interact with Rab GTPases. We encountered Yip1p as a constituent of ER-derived transport vesicles, leading us to hypothesize a direct role for this protein in transport through the early secretory pathway. Using a cell-free assay that recapitulates protein transport from the ER to the Golgi comp...
متن کاملIdentification of Discrete Sites in Yip1A Necessary for Regulation of Endoplasmic Reticulum Structure
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of specialized cells can undergo dramatic changes in structural organization, including formation of concentric whorls. We previously reported that depletion of Yip1A, an integral membrane protein conserved between yeast and mammals, caused ER whorl formation reminiscent of that seen in specialized cells. Yip1A and its yeast homologue Yip1p cycle between the ER an...
