MPC1

FMP37, YGL080W
Highly conserved subunit of the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier; a mitochondrial inner membrane complex comprised of Mpc1p and either Mpc2p or Mpc3p mediates mitochondrial pyruvate uptake; null mutant displays slow growth that is complemented by expression of human or mouse ortholog; mutation in human ortholog is associated with lactic acidosis and hyperpyruvatemia

Synthetic Growth Defect

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

Differential regulation of mitochondrial pyruvate carrier genes modulates respiratory capacity and stress tolerance in yeast.

Timon-Gomez A, Proft M, Pascual-Ahuir A

Mpc proteins are highly conserved from yeast to humans and are necessary for the uptake of pyruvate at the inner mitochondrial membrane, which is used for leucine and valine biosynthesis and as a fuel for respiration. Our analysis of the yeast MPC gene family suggests that amino acid biosynthesis, respiration rate and oxidative stress tolerance are regulated by changes in ... [more]
