SEC9

HSS7, L000001835, YGR009C
t-SNARE protein required for secretory vesicle-plasma membrane fusion; similar to but not functionally redundant with Spo20p; interacts non-exocyst bound Sec6p; SNAP-25 homolog

MSB4

L000003919, YOL112W
GTPase-activating protein of the Ras superfamily; acts primarily on Sec4p, localizes to the bud site and bud tip; msb3 msb4 double mutation causes defects in secretion and actin organization; similar to the TBC-domain Tre2 oncogene; MSB4 has a paralog, MSB3, that arose from the whole genome duplication

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.

Publication

The GAP activity of Msb3p and Msb4p for the Rab GTPase Sec4p is required for efficient exocytosis and actin organization.

Polarized growth in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is thought to occur by the transport of post-Golgi vesicles along actin cables to the daughter cell, and the subsequent fusion of the vesicles with the plasma membrane. Previously, we have shown that Msb3p and Msb4p genetically interact with Cdc42p and display a GTPase-activating protein (GAP) activity toward a number of Rab GTPases in vitro. ... [more]
