Identification of Novel Mutations in ACT1 and SLA2 That Suppress the Actin-Cable-Overproducing Phenotype Caused by Overexpression of a Dominant Active Form of Bni1p in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

ABSTRACT

A formin Bni1p nucleates actin to assemble actin cables, which guide the polarized transport of secretory vesicles in budding yeast. We identified mutations that suppressed both the lethality and the excessive actin cable formation caused by overexpression of a truncated Bni1p (BNI1ΔN). Two recessive mutations, act1-301 in the actin gene and sla2-82 in a gene involved in cortical actin patch assembly, were identified. The isolation of sla2-82 was unexpected, because cortical actin patches are required for the internalization step of endocytosis. Both act1-301 and sla2-82 ...
