Characterization of fungal RTG2 genes in retrograde signaling of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

  • Ercan Selçuk Ünlü‎ et al.

  • 2013‎

Changes in the functional status of mitochondria result in the transcriptional activation of a subset of nuclear-encoded genes in a process referred to as retrograde signaling. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, this molecular link between mitochondria and the nuclear genome is controlled by three key signaling proteins: Rtg1p, Rtg2p, and Rtg3p. Although the retrograde signaling response has been well characterized in S. cerevisiae, very little is known about this pathway in other fungi. In this study, we selected four species having uncharacterized open reading frames (ORFs) with more than 66% amino acid identity to Rtg2p for further analysis. To determine whether these putative RTG2 ORFs encoded bona fide regulators of retrograde signaling, we tested their ability to complement the defects associated with the S. cerevisiae rtg2Δ mutant. Specifically, we tested for complementation of citrate synthase (CIT2) and aconitase (ACO1) at the transcript and protein levels, glutamate auxotrophy, and changes in the interaction between Rtg2p and the negative regulator Mks1p. Our findings show that all four Rtg2p homologs are functional upon activation of retrograde signaling, although their degree of complementation varied. In addition, all Rtg2p homologs showed a marked reduction in Mks1p binding, which may contribute to their altered responses to retrograde signaling.

    2. You can manually AND and OR terms to change how we search between words
    3. You can add "-" to terms to make sure no results return with that term in them (ex. Cerebellum -CA1)
    4. You can add "+" to terms to require they be in the data
    5. Using autocomplete specifies which branch of our semantics you with to search and can help refine your search
