VPS21

VPS12, VPT12, YPT21, YPT51, Rab family GTPase VPS21, L000002474, YOR089C
Endosomal Rab family GTPase; required for endocytic transport and sorting of vacuolar hydrolases; required for endosomal localization of the CORVET complex; required with YPT52 for MVB biogenesis and sorting; involved in autophagy and ionic stress tolerance; geranylgeranylation required for membrane association; protein abundance increases in response to DNA replication stress; mammalian Rab5 homolog; VPS21 has a paralog, YPT53, that arose from the whole genome duplication
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)

YPT52

Rab family GTPase YPT52, L000002546, YKR014C
Endosomal Rab family GTPase; required for vacuolar protein sorting, endocytosis and multivesicular body (MVB) biogenesis and sorting; required for localization of the CORVET complex to endosomes; involved in autophagy and ionic stress tolerance; similar to Vps21p and Ypt53p; mammalian Rab5 homolog; protein abundance increases in response to 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.

Structuring of the yeast endolysosomal pathway by the Rab5 guanine nucleotide exchange factors Muk1 and Vps9.

Nesterova A, Prosser DC, Welke RW, Esch BM, Froehlich F, Sommer T, Langemeyer L, Ungermann C

The endolysosomal pathway, with its interconnected endosomes and lysosomes, has key functions in cellular nutrient and ion uptake, metabolic adaptation, as well as protein and organelle turnover via autophagy. Rab5 GTPases are organelle identity markers on endosomes, though it remains unclear why cells have several Rab5 isoforms and guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) as their activators. Using yeast, we demonstrate ... [more]
