UPC2

MOX4, YDR213W
Sterol regulatory element binding protein; induces transcription of sterol biosynthetic genes and of DAN/TIR gene products; relocates from intracellular membranes to perinuclear foci on sterol depletion; UPC2 has a paralog, ECM22, that arose from the whole genome duplication
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)
PREY

ERG2

END11, C-8 sterol isomerase ERG2, L000000569, L000004560, YMR202W
C-8 sterol isomerase; catalyzes the isomerization of the delta-8 double bond to the delta-7 position at an intermediate step in ergosterol biosynthesis

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

Cumulative mutations affecting sterol biosynthesis in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae result in synthetic lethality that is suppressed by alterations in sphingolipid profiles.

UPC2 and ECM22 belong to a Zn(2)-Cys(6) family of fungal transcription factors and have been implicated in the regulation of sterol synthesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida albicans. Previous reports suggest that double deletion of these genes in S. cerevisiae is lethal depending on the genetic background of the strain. In this investigation we demonstrate that lethality of upc2Delta ecm22Delta ... [more]
