Proteins in this family contain a DEP domain, which is a globular domain of about 80 residues. This entry includes vacuolar membrane-associated protein Iml1 and DEP domain-containing protein 5/DDB_G0279099. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Iml1 is a subunit of both the SEA (Seh1-associated) and Iml1 complexes (Iml1-Npr2-Npr3). SEA complex is associates dynamically with the vacuole and is involved in autophagy [1, 2]. Iml1 complex is required for non-nitrogen-starvation (NNS)-induced autophagy [3].
Domain found in Dishevelled, Egl-10, and Pleckstrin (DEP)
The DEP domain [1] is responsible for mediating intracellular protein targeting and regulation of protein stability in the cell [2-3]. The DEP domain is present in a number of signaling molecules, including Regulator of G protein Signaling (RGS) prot ...
The DEP domain [1] is responsible for mediating intracellular protein targeting and regulation of protein stability in the cell [2-3]. The DEP domain is present in a number of signaling molecules, including Regulator of G protein Signaling (RGS) proteins, and has been implicated in membrane targeting [4-5]. New findings in yeast, however, demonstrate a major role for a DEP domain in mediating the interaction of an RGS protein to the C-terminal tail of a GPCR, thus placing RGS in close proximity with its substrate G protein alpha subunit [6-7].
