AGA1

L000000061, YNR044W
Anchorage subunit of a-agglutinin of a-cells; highly O-glycosylated protein with N-terminal secretion signal and C-terminal signal for addition of GPI anchor to cell wall, linked to adhesion subunit Aga2p via two disulfide bonds; AGA1 has a paralog, FIG2, that arose from the whole genome duplication

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.

Conserved WCPL and CX4C domains mediate several mating adhesin interactions in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Huang G, Dougherty SD, Erdman SE

Several adhesins are induced by pheromones during mating in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, including Aga1p, Aga2p, Sag1p (Agalpha1p), and Fig2p. These four proteins all participate in or influence a well-studied agglutinin interaction mediated by Aga1p-Aga2p complexes and Sag1p; however, they also play redundant and essential roles in mating via an unknown mechanism. Aga1p and Fig2p both contain repeated, conserved WCPL and CX(4)C ... [more]
