STE20

mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase kinase STE20, L000002123, YHL007C
Cdc42p-activated signal transducing kinase; involved in pheromone response, pseudohyphal/invasive growth, vacuole inheritance, down-regulation of sterol uptake; GBB motif binds Ste4p; member of the PAK (p21-activated kinase) family
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)
PREY

SWE1

WEE1, tyrosine protein kinase SWE1, L000002248, YJL187C
Protein kinase that regulates the G2/M transition; regulates the G2/M transition by inhibition of Cdc28p kinase activity; localizes to the nucleus and to the daughter side of the mother-bud neck; phosphorylates conserved tyrosine residue in N-terminus of Hsp90 in cell-cycle associated manner, thus modulating the ability of Hsp90 to chaperone a selected clientele; homolog of S. pombe Wee1p; potential Cdc28p 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.

Publication

Synthetic lethal analysis implicates Ste20p, a p21-activated potein kinase, in polarisome activation.

The p21-activated kinases Ste20p and Cla4p carry out undefined functions that are essential for viability during budding in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. To gain insight into the roles of Ste20p, we have used a synthetic lethal mutant screen to identify additional genes that are required in the absence of Cla4p. Altogether, we identified 65 genes, including genes with roles in cell polarity, ... [more]
