MRS4

L000001180, YKR052C
Iron transporter of the mitochondrial carrier family; mediates Fe2+ transport across the inner mitochondrial membrane; active under low-iron conditions; may transport other cations; protein abundance increases in response to DNA replication stress; MRS4 has a paralog, MRS3, that arose from the whole genome duplication

CCC1

L000000234, YLR220W
Vacuolar Fe2+/Mn2+ transporter; suppresses respiratory deficit of yfh1 mutants, which lack the ortholog of mammalian frataxin, by preventing mitochondrial iron accumulation; relative distribution to the vacuole decreases upon DNA replication stress
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)

Dosage Lethality

A genetic interaction is inferred when over expression or increased dosage of one gene causes lethality in a strain that is mutated or deleted for another gene.

Publication

Genetic dissection of a mitochondria-vacuole signaling pathway in yeast reveals a link between chronic oxidative stress and vacuolar iron transport.

Li L, Murdock G, Bagley D, Jia X, Ward DM, Kaplan J

Deletion of two homologous genes, MRS3 and MRS4, that encode mitochondrial iron transporters affects the activity of the vacuolar iron importer Ccc1. Ccc1 levels are decreased in Deltamrs3Deltamrs4 cells, but the activity of the transporter is increased, resulting is reduced cytosolic iron. Overexpression of CCC1 in Deltamrs3Deltamrs4 cells results in a severe growth defect due to decreased cytosolic iron, referred ... [more]

Phenotypic Suppression

A genetic interaction is inferred when mutation or over expression of one gene results in suppression of any phenotype (other than lethality/growth defect) associated with mutation or over expression of another gene.

Synthetic Growth Defect
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.
