摘要

BAR domain proteins participate in a variety of membrane trafficking processes that require membrane deformation, particularly in endocytosis. In yeast, endocytosis is achieved by four distinct protein modules: the coat, WASP/MYO, actin and scission modules. The scission step requires the combined action of the BAR domain proteins, Rvs161 and Rvs167, the phosphoinositide phosphatase, Inp52, and the pulling force of actin polymerization to generate sufficient interfacial force to culminate in scission. I took a structure-motivated mutational approach to dissect the function of the BAR domains in Rvs161 and Rvs167 in vivo and validate the significance of Rvs-membrane interaction during the endocytosis process. I find that residues important for lipid binding and bending are required for the initial recruitment of Rvs to endocytic sites and for their function in vesicle scission.;Kinases and transcription factors (TFs) are key modulators of important signaling pathways. A systematic assessment of genetic interactions involving the combined perturbation of kinases and TFs may elucidate new aspects of the complex kinase-TF regulatory network. I constructed a collection of yeast strains, each of which contains a chromosomally-integrated kinase or TF gene that can be inducibly overexpressed, and used a variety of assays to characterize the phenotypic consequences of their overexpression. To identify novel genetic interactions, I used Synthetic Genetic Array (SGA) analysis to systematically overexpress 239 different TFs in 13 kinase mutant backgrounds. I assessed dosage-dependent interactions between a loss-of-function or a gain-of-function allele of kinase and TF overexpression allele, and obtained a genetic network consisting of 111 confirmed interactions between 72 TF overexpression alleles and 9 kinase mutants. Several of these genetic interactions were further characterized to delineate regulatory relationships between the kinase and TF, suggesting that genetic interactions between kinase and TF overexpression alleles will be a rich source of new functional information.
