What's a GeneRIF?

Lcb4p is post-translationally modified by phosphorylation by Pho85 and degraded via the ubiquitin-dependent pathway
Title: Phosphorylation by Pho85 cyclin-dependent kinase acts as a signal for the down-regulation of the yeast sphingoid long-chain base kinase Lcb4 during the stationary phase.
The loss of palmitoylation on Lcb4 caused several effects, including mislocalization of the protein to the cytosol.
Title: Long-chain base kinase Lcb4 Is anchored to the membrane through its palmitoylation by Akr1.

NP_014814.1

EC 2.7.1.91

Sphingoid long-chain base kinase; responsible for synthesis of long-chain base phosphates, which function as signaling molecules, regulates synthesis of ceramide from exogenous long-chain bases, localizes to the Golgi and late endosomes; LCB4 has a paralog, LCB5, that arose from the whole genome duplication
