PHO87

L000002740, YCR037C
Low-affinity inorganic phosphate (Pi) transporter; acts upstream of Pho81p in regulation of the PHO pathway; expression is independent of Pi concentration and Pho4p activity; contains 12 membrane-spanning segments; PHO87 has a paralog, PHO90, that arose from the whole genome duplication
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)
PREY

PHO90

YJL198W
Low-affinity phosphate transporter; acts upstream of Pho81p in regulation of the PHO pathway; deletion of pho84, pho87, pho89, pho90, and pho91 causes synthetic lethality; transcription independent of Pi and Pho4p activity; overexpression results in vigorous growth; PHO90 has a paralog, PHO87, 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.

Phosphate transport and sensing in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Wykoff DD, O'Shea EK

Cellular metabolism depends on the appropriate concentration of intracellular inorganic phosphate; however, little is known about how phosphate concentrations are sensed. The similarity of Pho84p, a high-affinity phosphate transporter in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, to the glucose sensors Snf3p and Rgt2p has led to the hypothesis that Pho84p is an inorganic phosphate sensor. Furthermore, pho84Delta strains have defects in phosphate signaling; they ... [more]
