YOS9, the putative yeast homolog of a gene amplified in osteosarcomas, is involved in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-Golgi transport of GPI-anchored proteins.
Journal of Biological Chemistry 2002 September 21
The OS-9 gene maps to a region (q13-15) of chromosome 12 that is highly amplified in human osteosarcomas and encodes a protein of unknown function. Here we have characterized a homolog designated as YOS9 (YDR057w) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The yeast protein (Yos9) is a membrane-associated glycoprotein that localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). YOS9 interacts genetically with genes involved in ER-Golgi transport, particularly SEC34, whose temperature-sensitive mutant is rescued by YOS9 overexpression. Interestingly, Yos9 appears to play a direct role in the transport of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins to the Golgi apparatus. Yos9 binds directly to Gas1 and Mkc7 and accelerates Gas1 transport and processing in cells overexpressing YOS9. Correspondingly, Gas1 processing is slowed in cells bearing a deletion in YOS9. No effect upon the transport and processing of non-GPI-anchored proteins (e.g. invertase and carboxypeptidase Y) was detected in cells either lacking or overexpressing Yos9. As Yos9 is not a component of the Emp24 complex, it may act as a novel escort factor for GPI-anchored proteins in ER-Golgi transport in yeast and possibly in mammals.
