WHI3

mRNA-binding protein WHI3, L000002486, YNL197C
RNA binding protein that sequesters CLN3 mRNA in cytoplasmic foci; regulates genes involved in the cell cycle, sister chromatid cohesion, and stress response; acts as a cytoplasmic retention factor for Cdc28p and associated cyclins; regulates cell fate and dose-dependently regulates the critical cell size required for passage through Start; Tpk1p (PKA) mediated phosphorylation (S568) inhibits Whi3p function, decreasing its interaction with CLN3 mRNA; regulates ploidy
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)

SLT2

BYC2, LYT2, MPK1, SLK2, mitogen-activated serine/threonine-protein kinase SLT2, L000001919, YHR030C
Serine/threonine MAP kinase; involved in regulating maintenance of cell wall integrity, cell cycle progression, and nuclear mRNA retention in heat shock; required for mitophagy and pexophagy; affects recruitment of mitochondria to phagophore assembly site (PAS); plays a role in adaptive response of cells to cold; regulated by the PKC1-mediated signaling pathway; SLT2 has a paralog, KDX1, that arose from the whole genome duplication
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)

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.

Whi3, a developmental regulator of budding yeast, binds a large set of mRNAs functionally related to the endoplasmic reticulum.

Colomina N, Ferrezuelo F, Wang H, Aldea M, Gari E

Whi3 is an RNA-binding protein associated with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that binds the CLN3 mRNA and plays a key role in the efficient retention of cyclin Cln3 at the ER. In the present work, we have identified new Whi3-associated mRNAs by a genomic approach. A large and significant number of these Whi3 targets encode for membrane and exocytic proteins ... [more]
