GPI-anchored Gas1 protein regulates cytosolic proteostasis in budding yeast.
Title: GPI-anchored Gas1 protein regulates cytosolic proteostasis in budding yeast.
A screening aimed at identifying deletion mutants with reduced branching of beta-(1,3)-glucan through beta-(1,6)-glycosidic linkages among them revealed only two, the bgl2Delta and gas1Delta mutants, showing 15% and 70% reductions in the branching, respectively, compared to the wild-type strain.
Title: The Dual Activity Responsible for the Elongation and Branching of β-(1,3)-Glucan in the Fungal Cell Wall.
ssays of heterologously expressed transglycosylases ScGas1, ScCrh1, and ScCrh2 from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, CaPhr1 and CaPhr2 from Candida albicans, and of a plant xyloglucan endotransglycosylase (XET) are demonstrated.
Title: Two Variants of a High-Throughput Fluorescent Microplate Assay of Polysaccharide Endotransglycosylases.
Analysis uncovers previously unsuspected functions for both Gas1 and Sas3 in DNA damage response and cell cycle regulation.
Title: Unexpected function of the glucanosyltransferase Gas1 in the DNA damage response linked to histone H3 acetyltransferases in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
The results suggest that the dysfunction of Gas1 plays a positive role in the maintenance of rDNA integrity by decreasing PKA activity and inducing the accumulation of Msn2/4 in the nucleus.
Title: The β-1,3-glucanosyltransferase Gas1 regulates Sir2-mediated rDNA stability in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Gas1p functions in cell wall formation, and is the primary glucan-remodeling enzyme required in vegetative growth and during reentry into the proliferative state.
Title: Expression, stability, and replacement of glucan-remodeling enzymes during developmental transitions in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Results suggest that Crh1p and Crh2p are required for tethering Gas1p to the chitin ring and bud scar, and reveal a new mechanism of protein immobilization at specific sites of the cell envelope.
Title: Immobilization of the glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored Gas1 protein into the chitin ring and septum is required for proper morphogenesis in yeast.
Because the catalytic activity of Gas1 is required for telomeric silencing, Gas1 localizes to the nuclear periphery, and Gas1 and Sir2 physically interact.
Title: The glucanosyltransferase Gas1 functions in transcriptional silencing.
Arl1p is involved in the anterograde transport from the Golgi to the cell surface of the glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored plasma-membrane-resident protein Gas1p.
Title: Arl1p is involved in transport of the GPI-anchored protein Gas1p from the late Golgi to the plasma membrane.
Functionally related Bgl2p and Gas1p are the major glucan transferases forming the molecular ensemble of yeast cell wall.
