SEY1

dynamin-like GTPase SEY1, YOR165W
Dynamin-like GTPase that mediates homotypic ER fusion; has a role in ER morphology; interacts physically and genetically with Yop1p and Rtn1p; functional ortholog of the human atlastin ATL1, defects in which cause a form of the human disease hereditary spastic paraplegia; homolog of Arabidopsis RHD3
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)
PREY

USE1

SLT1, YGL098W
Essential SNARE protein localized to the ER; involved in retrograde traffic from the Golgi to the ER and Sey1p-independent homotypic ER fusion; required for efficient nuclear fusion during mating; forms a complex with the SNAREs Sec22p, Sec20p and Ufe1p

Phenotypic Enhancement

A genetic interaction is inferred when mutation or overexpression of one gene results in enhancement of any phenotype (other than lethality/growth defect) associated with mutation or over expression of another gene.

Publication

ER-associated SNAREs and Sey1p mediate nuclear fusion at two distinct steps during yeast mating.

Rogers JV, Arlow T, Inkellis ER, Koo TS, Rose MD

During yeast mating, two haploid nuclei fuse membranes to form a single diploid nucleus. However, the known proteins required for nuclear fusion are unlikely to function as direct fusogens (i.e., they are unlikely to directly catalyze lipid bilayer fusion) based on their predicted structure and localization. Therefore we screened known fusogens from vesicle trafficking (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptors ... [more]
