ADDITIONAL INFORMATION for GCS1

SUMMARY PARAGRAPH for GCS1

GCS1 encodes a GTPase activating protein (GAP) for ADP ribosylation factors (ARFs, encoded by ARF1, ARF2, and ARF3 in yeast), and interacts genetically with ARF1 and ARF2 (5). ARFs are GTPases of the Ras superfamily that regulate the formation of coated vesicles in intracellular trafficking (6, 7). The process of vesicle formation in the exocytic and endocytic pathways has been recently reviewed (8), as has the role of ARF (9).

GCS1 was originally identified as a gene required for cells to reenter the mitotic cell cycle from stationary phase (4, 1). Gcs1p binds actin in vitro, and may interact with the cytoskeleton in vivo. Disruption of GCS1 causes cytoskeletal defects, and GCS1 and shows genetic interactions with SLA2 and SAC6, which encode actin binding proteins (10). A second ARF GAP, Glo3p, has been identified in yeast; a gcs1 glo3 double deletion is inviable (11). Genetic interactions with BET1, BOS1, and SEC22, which encode v-SNARES, implicate Gcs1p and Glo3p in transport between the ER and the Golgi (11). A protein with sequence similarity to Gcs1p, centaurin alpha, has been found in rat and human (12).
