Effects of mutations in the WD40 domain of α-COP on its interaction with the COPI coatomer in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Replacement of glycine 227 in the fifth WD40 motif of α-COP/Ret1p/Soo1p by charged or aromatic amino acids is responsible for the temperature-dependent osmo-sensitivity of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, while truncations of WD40 motifs exerted a reduction in cell growth rate and impairment in assembly of cell-wall associated proteins such as enolase and ... Gas1p. Yeast two-hybrid analysis revealed that the ret1-1/soo1-1 mutation of α-COP abolished the interaction with β- and ɛ-COP, respectively, and that the interaction between α-COP and β-COP relied on the WD40 domain of α-COP. Furthermore, although the WD40 domain is dispensable for interaction of α-COP with ɛ-COP, structural alterations in the WD40 domain could impair the interaction.
