What's a GeneRIF?

By combining molecular dynamics simulations with experiments, we uncover a remarkable sensitivity of the transcriptional regulator Mga2 to the abundance, position, and configuration of double bonds in lipid acyl chains, and provide insights into the molecular rules of membrane adaptation.
Title: Regulation of lipid saturation without sensing membrane fluidity.
Lipid environment controls the proteolytic activation of Mga2 by stabilizing alternative rotational orientations of the TMH region. Mga2 can act as a lipid-packing sensor in the ER membrane to control the production of unsaturated fatty acids.
Title: A Eukaryotic Sensor for Membrane Lipid Saturation.
the spt23Delta mutant strain shows similar ERG1 expression to wild-type cells, while the mga2Delta/spt23Delta strain shows reduced ERG1 expression, comparable to the mga2Delta, suggesting that the role of regulation of ERG1 transcription is unique to Mga2p.
Title: A role for MGA2, but not SPT23, in activation of transcription of ERG1 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
WW domains 2 and 3 of Rsp5p play overlapping roles in binding to the WW domain-binding site site on Spt23p and Mga2p
Title: WW domains 2 and 3 of Rsp5p play overlapping roles in binding to the LPKY motif of Spt23p and Mga2p.
identified, using mass spectrometry analysis of in vitro ubiquitinated Mga2p120-Mga2p90 complex, that lysine residues 983 and 985 contained within the carboxy-terminal domain of Mga2p120 are Rsp5p-directed Ub-conjugation sites
Title: Identification of lysines within membrane-anchored Mga2p120 that are targets of Rsp5p ubiquitination and mediate mobilization of tethered Mga2p90.
Rsp5p, Spt23p and Mga2p may participate in the control of the homeostasis of lipids and lipid particles.
Title: Rsp5p ubiquitin ligase and the transcriptional activators Spt23p and Mga2p are involved in co-regulation of biosynthesis of end products of the mevalonate pathway and triacylglycerol in yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
a PXY motif located within the carboxyl terminus of Spt23p and Mga2p mediates a physical and functional interaction with ubiquitin ligase Rsp5p
Title: A single PXY motif located within the carboxyl terminus of Spt23p and Mga2p mediates a physical and functional interaction with ubiquitin ligase Rsp5p.
proteasomal processing of the Mga2 is initiated by an internal cleavage, followed by bidirectional proteolysis of the polypeptides
Title: Proteasome-mediated protein processing by bidirectional degradation initiated from an internal site.

Preferred Names: Mga2p

NP_012299.1

ER membrane protein involved in regulation of OLE1 transcription; inactive ER form dimerizes and one subunit is then activated by ubiquitin/proteasome-dependent processing followed by nuclear targeting; MGA2 has a paralog, SPT23, that arose from the whole genome duplication
