YOP1

YIP2, L000004674, YPR028W
Membrane protein that interacts with Yip1p to mediate membrane traffic; interacts with Sey1p to maintain ER morphology; overexpression leads to cell death and accumulation of internal cell membranes; mutants have reduced phosphatidylserine transfer between the ER and mitochondria; forms ER foci upon DNA replication stress
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)

Synthetic Rescue

A genetic interaction is inferred when mutations or deletions of one gene rescues the lethality or growth defect of a strain mutated or deleted for another gene.

The dynamin-like GTPase Sey1p mediates homotypic ER fusion in S. cerevisiae.

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) forms a network of tubules and sheets that requires homotypic membrane fusion to be maintained. In metazoans, this process is mediated by dynamin-like guanosine triphosphatases (GTPases) called atlastins (ATLs), which are also required to maintain ER morphology. Previous work suggested that the dynamin-like GTPase Sey1p was needed to maintain ER morphology in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In this ... [more]

  • figure 1. human Atl1 can partially restore ER morphology, which is abnormal in sey1 yop1 double mutant. growth defect or rescue was not shown though.
