YKE2

GIM1, PFD6, L000002791, YLR200W
Subunit of the heterohexameric Gim/prefoldin protein complex; involved in the folding of alpha-tubulin, beta-tubulin, and actin; prefoldin complex also localizes to chromatin of actively transcribed genes in the nucleus and facilitates transcriptional elongation

TUB2

ARM10, SHE8, beta-tubulin, L000002388, YFL037W
Beta-tubulin; associates with alpha-tubulin (Tub1p and Tub3p) to form tubulin dimer, which polymerizes to form microtubules; mutation in human ortholog is associated with congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles (CFEOM) with polymicrogyria
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)

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 novel protein complex promoting formation of functional alpha- and gamma-tubulin.

Geissler S, Siegers K, Schiebel E

We describe the identification of GIM1/YKE2, GIM2/PAC10, GIM3, GIM4 and GIM5 in a screen for mutants that are synthetically lethal with tub4-1, encoding a mutated yeast gamma-tubulin. The cytoplasmic Gim proteins encoded by these GIM genes are present in common complexes as judged by co-immunoprecipitation and gel filtration experiments. The disruption of any of these genes results in similar phenotypes: ... [more]
