YPT6

Rab family GTPase YPT6, L000002896, L000002948, YLR262C
Rab family GTPase; Ras-like GTP binding protein involved in the secretory pathway, required for fusion of endosome-derived vesicles with the late Golgi, maturation of the vacuolar carboxypeptidase Y; resides temporarily at the Golgi, dissociates into cytosol upon arrival of the Rab GTPaseYpt32p, which also functions in the late Golgi; Golgi-localized form is bound to GTP, while cytosolic form is GDP-bound; homolog of the mammalian Rab6

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.

Parkinson's disease is the most common neurodegenerative movement disorder. α-Synuclein is a small synaptic protein that has been linked to familial Parkinson's disease (PD) and is also the primary component of Lewy bodies, the hallmark neuropathology found in the brain of sporadic and familial PD patients. The function of α-synuclein is currently unknown, although it has been implicated in the ... [more]
