KES1

BSR3, LPI3, OSH4, oxysterol-binding protein KES1, L000000894, YPL145C
One of seven members of the yeast oxysterol binding protein family; involved in negative regulation of Sec14p-dependent Golgi complex secretory functions, peripheral membrane protein that localizes to the Golgi complex; KES1 has a paralog, HES1, that arose from the whole genome duplication
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)
PREY

PUF6

YDR496C
Pumilio-homology domain protein; binds the 3' UTR of ASH1 mRNA and represses its translation, resulting in proper asymmetric localization of ASH1 mRNA; required at post-transcriptional step for efficient retrotransposition; absence results in decreased Ty1 Gag:GFP protein levels; co-sediments with the 60S ribosomal subunit and is required for its biogenesis

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.

The oxysterol binding protein Kes1p regulates Golgi apparatus phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate function.

Fairn GD, Curwin AJ, Stefan CJ, McMaster CR

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae phosphatidylcholine/phosphatidylinositol transfer protein Sec14p is required for Golgi apparatus-derived vesicular transport through coordinate regulation of phospholipid metabolism. Sec14p is normally essential. The essential requirement for SEC14 can be bypassed by inactivation of (i) the CDP-choline pathway for phosphatidylcholine synthesis or (ii) KES1, which encodes an oxysterol binding protein. A unique screen was used to determine genome-wide genetic ... [more]
