MGA2

L000004181, YIR033W
ER membrane protein involved in regulation of OLE1 transcription; inactive ER form dimerizes and one subunit is then activated by ubiquitin/proteasome-dependent processing followed by nuclear targeting; MGA2 has a paralog, SPT23, that arose from the whole genome duplication
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)

AFT1

RCS1, DNA-binding transcription factor AFT1, L000002660, L000001594, YGL071W
Transcription factor involved in iron utilization and homeostasis; binds consensus site PyPuCACCCPu and activates transcription in response to changes in iron availability; in iron-replete conditions localization is regulated by Grx3p, Grx4p, and Fra2p, and promoter binding is negatively regulated via Grx3p-Grx4p binding; AFT1 has a paralog, AFT2, that arose from the whole genome duplication; relative distribution to the nucleus increases upon DNA replication stress
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)

Synthetic Growth Defect

A genetic interaction is inferred when mutations in separate genes, each of which alone causes a minimal phenotype, result in a significant growth defect under a given condition when combined in the same cell.

The lipid composition of yeast cells modulates the response to iron deficiency.

Jorda T, Romero AM, Perea-Garcia A, Rozes N, Puig S

Iron is a vital micronutrient for all eukaryotes because it participates as a redox cofactor in multiple metabolic pathways, including lipid biosynthesis. In response to iron deficiency, the Saccharomyces cerevisiae iron-responsive transcription factor Aft1 accumulates in the nucleus and activates a set of genes that promote iron acquisition at the cell surface. In this study, we report that yeast cells ... [more]
