ROM2

Rho family guanine nucleotide exchange factor ROM2, L000003182, YLR371W
GDP/GTP exchange factor (GEF) for Rho1p and Rho2p; mutations are synthetically lethal with mutations in rom1, which also encodes a GEF; Rom2p localization to the bud surface is dependent on Ack1p; ROM2 has a paralog, ROM1, that arose from the whole genome duplication
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)
PREY

SHP1

UBX1, protein phosphatase regulator SHP1, L000002746, YBL058W
UBX (ubiquitin regulatory X) domain-containing protein; regulates Glc7p phosphatase activity; shp1 mutants are impaired in growth and mitotic progression; functions in growth and mitotic progression require Cdc48p binding; mitotic phenotype is caused by reduced Glc7p activity; interacts with ubiquitylated proteins, required for degradation of a ubiquitylated model substrate
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.

Functional specialization of the yeast Rho1 GTP exchange factors.

Krause SA, Cundell MJ, Poon PP, McGhie J, Johnston GC, Price C, Gray JV

Rho GTPases are regulated in complex spatiotemporal patterns that may be dependent, in part at least, on the multiplicity of their GTP exchange factors (GEFs). Here, we examine the extent of and basis for functional specialization of the Rom2 and Tus1 GEFs that activate the yeast Rho1 GTPase, the ortholog of mammalian RhoA. First, we find that these GEFs selectively ... [more]
