MPT5

HTR1, PUF5, UTH4, L000001146, YGL178W
mRNA-binding protein of the PUF family; binds to the 3' UTR of specific mRNAs, including those involved in mating type switching, cell wall integrity, chronological lifespan, chromatin modification, and spindle pole body architecture; recruits the CCR4-NOT deadenylase complex to mRNAs along with Dhh1p and Dcp1p to promote deadenylation, decapping, and decay; also interacts with the Caf20p translational initiation repressor, affecting its mRNA target specificity
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)
PREY

SWI4

ART1, SBF complex DNA-binding subunit SWI4, L000000124, L000002252, YER111C
DNA binding component of the SBF complex (Swi4p-Swi6p); a transcriptional activator that in concert with MBF (Mbp1-Swi6p) regulates late G1-specific transcription of targets including cyclins and genes required for DNA synthesis and repair; Slt2p-independent regulator of cold growth; acetylation at two sites, K1016 and K1066, regulates interaction with Swi6p
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.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae MPT5 and SSD1 function in parallel pathways to promote cell wall integrity.

Kaeberlein M, Guarente L

Yeast MPT5 (UTH4) is a limiting component for longevity. We show here that MPT5 also functions to promote cell wall integrity. Loss of Mpt5p results in phenotypes associated with a weakened cell wall, including sorbitol-remedial temperature sensitivity and sensitivities to calcofluor white and sodium dodecyl sulfate. Additionally, we find that mutation of MPT5, in the absence of SSD1-V, is lethal ... [more]
