OSH6

oxysterol-binding protein OSH6, YKR003W
Member of an oxysterol-binding protein family; overlapping, redundant functions in sterol metabolism and which collectively perform a function essential for viability; GFP-fusion protein localizes to the cell periphery; overexpression extends lifespan by promoting vacuolar fusion; OSH6 has a paralog, OSH7, that arose from the whole genome duplication
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)

Dosage Lethality

A genetic interaction is inferred when over expression or increased dosage of one gene causes lethality in a strain that is mutated or deleted for another gene.

Publication

Homologues of oxysterol-binding proteins affect Cdc42p- and Rho1p-mediated cell polarization in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Kozminski KG, Alfaro G, Dighe S, Beh CT

Polarized cell growth requires the establishment of an axis of growth along which secretion can be targeted to a specific site on the cell cortex. How polarity establishment and secretion are choreographed is not fully understood, though Rho GTPase- and Rab GTPase-mediated signaling is required. Superimposed on this regulation are the functions of specific lipids and their cognate binding proteins. ... [more]
