However, these regulatory proteins also function independently to regulate gene expression both negatively and positively. The model system for this combinatorial regulation is the yeast phospholipid biosynthetic pathway. Sin3p negatively regulates the INO1, CHO1, CHO2 and OPI3 genes while Ume6p negatively regulates the INO1 gene and positively regulates the other genes. We have suggested that the positive regulation results from indirect effects on expression of the INO2 transcriptional activator gene. Here, we demonstrate that the effect of Ume6p on INO2 gene expression is also indirect. We also show that Rpd3p is a negative regulator of phospholipid biosynthetic gene expression. The ability of Ume6p, Sin3p and Rpd3p to differentially regulate expression of the phospholipid biosynthetic genes affects phospholipid composition. A sin3 mutant strain lacks detectable levels of phosphatidylethanolamine and elevated levels of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and a rpd3 mutant strain has reduced levels of PC. These alterations in membrane composition suggest that there may exist additional differences in regulation of phospholipid biosynthetic gene expression and that membrane compositions may be coordinated with other biological processes regulated by Ume6p, Sin3p and Rpd3p.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">16</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10931932?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Robinson, K A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Koepke, J I</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kharodawala, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lopes, J M</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A network of yeast basic helix-loop-helix interactions.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nucleic Acids Res</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nucleic Acids Res.</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">DNA-Binding Proteins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fungal Proteins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gene Expression Regulation, Fungal</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Helix-Loop-Helix Motifs</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lac Operon</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Methyltransferases</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phosphatidylethanolamine N-Methyltransferase</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Plasmids</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Protein Binding</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Recombinant Fusion Proteins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Saccharomyces cerevisiae</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Saccharomyces cerevisiae Proteins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Trans-Activators</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Transcription Factors</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Transcriptional Activation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Two-Hybrid System Techniques</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2000</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2000 Nov 15</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">28</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4460-6</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The Ino4 protein belongs to the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) family of proteins. It is known to form a dimer with Ino2p, which regulates phospholipid biosynthetic genes. Mammalian bHLH proteins have been shown to form multiple dimer combinations. However, this flexibility in dimerization had not been documented for yeast bHLH proteins. Using the yeast two-hybrid assay and a biochemical assay we show that Ino4p dimerizes with the Pho4p, Rtg1p, Rtg3p and Sgc1p bHLH proteins. Screening a yeast cDNA library identified three additional proteins that interact with Ino4p: Bck2p, YLR422W and YNR064C. The interaction with Bck2p prompted us to examine if any of the Bck2p-associated functions affect expression of phospholipid biosynthetic genes. We found that hyperosmotic growth conditions altered the growth phase regulation of a phospholipid biosynthetic gene, CHO1. There are two recent reports of initial whole genome yeast two-hybrid interactions. Interestingly, one of these reports identified five proteins that interact with Ino4p: Ino2p, Hcs1p, Apl2p, YMR317W and YNL279W. Ino2p is the only protein in common with the data presented here. Our finding that Ino4p interacts with five bHLH proteins suggests that Ino4p is likely to be a central player in the coordination of multiple biological processes.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">22</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11071933?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Robinson, K A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lopes, J M</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The promoter of the yeast INO4 regulatory gene: a model of the simplest yeast promoter.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Bacteriol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

This regulation requires the transcriptional activator proteins Ino4p and Ino2p, which form a heterodimer that binds to the UAS(INO) element. We have previously shown that the promoters of the INO4 and INO2 genes are among the weakest promoters characterized in yeast. Because little is known about the promoters of weakly expressed yeast genes, we report here the analysis of the constitutive INO4 promoter. Promoter deletion constructs scanning 1,000 bp upstream of the INO4 gene identified a small region (-58 to -46) that is absolutely required for expression. S1 nuclease mapping shows that this region contains the transcription start sites for the INO4 gene. An additional element (-114 to -86) modestly enhances INO4 promoter activity (fivefold). Thus, the region required for INO4 transcription is limited to 68 bp. These studies also found that INO4 gene expression is not autoregulated by Ino2p and Ino4p, despite the presence of a putative UAS(INO) element in the INO4 promoter. We further report that the INO4 steady-state transcript levels and Ino4p levels are regulated twofold in response to inositol and choline, suggesting a posttranscriptional mechanism of regulation.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10781542?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record></records></xml>
