Negative regulator of glucose-induced cAMP signaling; directly activates the GTPase activity of the heterotrimeric G protein alpha subunit Gpa2p.

Protein involved in bud-site selection; mutant has increased aneuploidy tolerance; diploid mutants display a unipolar budding pattern instead of the wild-type bipolar pattern, and bud at the distal pole; BUD9 has a paralog, BUD8, that arose from the whole genome duplication; To yeast BUD8.

Protein involved in bud-site selection; diploid mutants display a unipolar budding pattern instead of the wild-type bipolar pattern, and bud at the proximal pole; BUD8 has a paralog, BUD9, that arose from the whole genome duplication.

Structural protein MDM1; PtdIns-3-P binding protein that tethers the ER to vacuoles at NVJs; anchored in the ER membrane at nucleus-vacuole junctions and binds phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns-3-P) in the vacuolar membrane via its Phox homology (PX) domain; expressed predominantly in late G1 to early S phase of the cell cycle; mutation affects nuclear and mitochondrial transmission to daughter buds; similar to 4 human genes, one of which (SNX14) is associated with neurological disease.

Bud site selection protein 5; GTP/GDP exchange factor for Rsr1p (Bud1p); required for both axial and bipolar budding patterns; mutants exhibit random budding in all cell types.

Putative protease AXL1; Haploid specific endoprotease of a-factor mating pheromone; performs one of two N-terminal cleavages during maturation of a-factor mating pheromone; required for axial budding pattern of haploid cells.

Ras-related protein RSR1; GTP-binding protein of the Ras superfamily; required for bud site selection, morphological changes in response to mating pheromone, and efficient cell fusion; localized to the plasma membrane; significantly similar to mammalian Rap GTPases.

Integral plasma membrane protein; required for axial budding in haploid cells; localizes to the incipient bud site and bud neck; glycosylated by Pmt4p; potential Cdc28p substrate.

Guanine nucleotide-binding protein alpha-2 subunit; Nucleotide binding alpha subunit of the heterotrimeric G protein; interacts with the receptor Gpr1p, has signaling role in response to nutrients; required for the recruitment of Ras-GTP at the plasma membrane and in the nucleus.
