Abstract: | The yeast proteins, Msb3p and Msb4p, are two Ypt/Rab-specific GTPase-activating proteins sharing redundant functions in exocytosis,
organization of the actin cytoskeleton, and budding site selection. To see if Msb3p might play an additional, specific role,
we first tested the sensitivities of msb3 and msb4 mutant strains to different drugs and then screened a genomic library for multicopy suppressors of msb3 sensitivity to CdCl2 or to the calcium channel blocker diltiazem hydrochloride. Three genes (ADH1, RNT1, and SUI1) were found to suppress the CdCl2 sensitivity of the msb3 strain and three others (YAP6, ZEO1, and SLM1) its diltiazem-HCl sensitivity. The results suggest a possible involvement of Msb3p in calcineurin-mediated signalling. |
