Two-hybrid cloning and characterization of OSH3, a yeast oxysterol-binding protein homolog.

Abstract excerpt

We identify Osh3p, one of seven yeast oxysterol-binding protein (OSBP) homologs, by its protein-protein interactions with a DEAD-box RNA helicase, Rok1p. The ROK1 gene was initially identified by its ability on a high-copy number plasmid to suppress the nuclear fusion defect caused by the kem1 null mutation. Our results show that OSH3 also affects nuclear fusion in a kem1-specific manner; the nuclear fusion...
