| | FUR4 | Uracil permease; Plasma membrane localized uracil permease; expression is tightly regulated by uracil levels and environmental cues; conformational alterations induced by unfolding or substrate binding result in Rsp5p-mediated ubiquitination and degradation. (633 aa) |
| | ATG8 | Autophagy-related protein 8; Component of autophagosomes and Cvt vesicles; regulator of Atg1p, targets it to autophagosomes; binds the Atg1p-Atg13p complex, triggering its vacuolar degradation; unique ubiquitin-like protein whose conjugation target is lipid phosphatidylethanolamine (PE); Atg8p-PE is anchored to membranes, is involved in phagophore expansion, and may mediate membrane fusion during autophagosome formation; deconjugation of Atg8p-PE is required for efficient autophagosome biogenesis. (117 aa) |
| | FLO1 | Lectin-like protein involved in flocculation; cell wall protein that binds mannose chains on the surface of other cells, confers floc-forming ability that is chymotrypsin sensitive and heat resistant; important for co-flocculation with other yeasts, mediating interaction with specific species; FLO1 has a paralog, FLO5, that arose from a segmental duplication; Belongs to the flocculin family. (1537 aa) |
