lüll New insights into prion biology from the novel SWI+ system Crow E; Du Z; Li LPrion 2008[Oct]; 2 (4): 141-4Our laboratory recently reported a novel prion [SWI+], in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. [SWI+] is the prion form of Swi1, a component of the SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complex. Cells harboring [SWI+] exhibit a partial loss-of-function phenotype for SWI/SNF, which can be easily assayed by poor growth on some non-fermentable carbon sources such as raffinose.Swi1 is unique among yeast prion proteins for its nuclear localization and the fact that it comprises part of a large, multi-subunit protein complex. The discovery of [SWI+] demonstrates for the first time a link between prion function and chromatin remodeling,implying a possible role for prions in gene regulation. We believe that the unique features of this novel yeast prion will provide new insight into prion biology.|Amino Acid Sequence[MESH]|Chromatin Assembly and Disassembly/genetics[MESH]|Gene Expression Regulation, Fungal/genetics[MESH]|Molecular Sequence Data[MESH]|Prions/chemistry/*metabolism[MESH]|Saccharomyces cerevisiae/*metabolism[MESH] |
