VAM6

CVT4, VPL18, VPL22, VPS39, L000003935, YDL077C
Subunit of the HOPS endocytic tethering complex; vacuole membrane protein that functions as a Rab GTPase effector, interacting with both GTP- and GDP-bound conformations of Ypt7p, facilitating tethering and promoting several membrane fusion events at the late endosome and vacuole; required for both membrane and protein trafficking
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)
PREY

MDM34

MMM2, ERMES complex subunit MDM34, YGL219C
Mitochondrial component of the ERMES complex; links the ER to mitochondria and may promote inter-organellar calcium and phospholipid exchange as well as coordinating mitochondrial DNA replication and growth; required for mitophagy; ERMES complex is often co-localized with peroxisomes and with concentrated areas of pyruvate dehydrogenase

Synthetic Lethality

A genetic interaction is inferred when mutations or deletions in separate genes, each of which alone causes a minimal phenotype, result in lethality when combined in the same cell under a given condition.

A dynamic interface between vacuoles and mitochondria in yeast.

Cellular life depends on continuous transport of lipids and small molecules between mitochondria and the endomembrane system. Recently, endoplasmic reticulum-mitochondrial encounter structure (ERMES) was identified as an important yet nonessential contact for such transport. Using a high-content screen in yeast, we found a contact site, marked by Vam6/Vps39, between vacuoles (the yeast lysosomal compartment) and mitochondria, named vCLAMP (vacuole and mitochondria patch). ...
