BAIT

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 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.

Publication

A transcriptional activator is part of an SCF ubiquitin ligase to control degradation of its cofactors.

Ouni I, Flick K, Kaiser P

Multisubunit protein complexes pose a challenge to the coordinated regulation of individual components. We show how the yeast transactivating factor Met4 functions as a component of the SCF(Met30) ubiquitin ligase to synchronize its own activity with cofactor assembly. Cells maintain Met4 in a dormant state by a regulatory ubiquitin chain assembled by SCF(Met30). Nutritional and heavy-metal stress block Met4 ubiquitylation ... [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.
