Long Description Abstract - Yeast has three A kinase catalytic
subunits, which have greater than 75% identity and are encoded by the
TPK genes (TPK1, TPK2, and TPK3) [Toda, T., Cameron, S., Sass, P.,
Zoller, M. & Wigler, M. (1987) Cell 50, 277-287]. Although they are
redundant for viability, the three A kinases are not redundant for
pseudohyphal growth [Robertson, L. S. & Fink, G. R. (1998)
Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 95, 13783-13787; Pan, X. & Heitman,
J. (1999) Mol. Cell. Biol. 19, 4874-4887]; Tpk2, but not Tpk1 or
Tpk3, is required for pseudohyphal growth. Genome-wide transcriptional
profiling has revealed unique signatures for each of the three A
kinases leading to the identification of additional functional
diversity among these proteins. Tpk2 negatively regulates genes
involved in iron uptake and positively regulates genes involved in
trehalose degradation and water homeostasis. Tpk1 is required for the
derepression of branched chain amino acid biosynthesis genes that seem
to have a second role in the maintenance of iron levels and DNA
stability within mitochondria. The fact that TPK2 mutants grow better
than wild types on nonfermentable carbon sources and on media
deficient in iron supports the unique role of Tpk2 in respiratory
growth and carbon source use.
