MET4

L000001079, YNL103W
Leucine-zipper transcriptional activator; responsible for regulation of sulfur amino acid pathway; requires different combinations of auxiliary factors Cbf1p, Met28p, Met31p and Met32p; feedforward loop exists in the regulation of genes controlled by Met4p and Met32p; can be ubiquitinated by ubiquitin ligase SCF-Met30p, is either degraded or maintained in an inactive state; regulates degradation of its own DNA-binding cofactors by targeting them to SCF-Met30p
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)
PREY

MET32

L000003470, YDR253C
Zinc-finger DNA-binding transcription factor; involved in transcriptional regulation of the methionine biosynthetic genes; targets strong transcriptional activator Met4p to promoters of sulfur metabolic genes; feedforward loop exists in the regulation of genes controlled by Met4p and Met32p; lack of such a loop for MET31 may account for the differential actions of Met32p and Met31p; MET32 has a paralog, MET31, that arose from the whole genome duplication
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)

Synthetic Rescue

A genetic interaction is inferred when mutations or deletions of one gene rescues the lethality or growth defect of a strain mutated or deleted for another gene.

Dissection of combinatorial control by the Met4 transcriptional complex.

Lee TA, Jorgensen P, Bognar AL, Peyraud C, Thomas D, Tyers M

Met4 is the transcriptional activator of the sulfur metabolic network in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Lacking DNA-binding ability, Met4 must interact with proteins called Met4 cofactors to target promoters for transcription. Two types of DNA-binding cofactors (Cbf1 and Met31/Met32) recruit Met4 to promoters and one cofactor (Met28) stabilizes the DNA-bound Met4 complexes. To dissect this combinatorial system, we systematically deleted each category ... [more]

Affinity Capture-Western
Affinity Capture-Western

An interaction is inferred when a bait protein is affinity captured from cell extracts by either polyclonal antibody or epitope tag and the associated interaction partner identified by Western blot with a specific polyclonal antibody or second epitope tag. This category is also used if an interacting protein is visualized directly by dye stain or radioactivity. Note that this differs from any co-purification experiment involving affinity capture in that the co-purification experiment involves at least one extra purification step to get rid of potential contaminating proteins.

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.
