The BAR proteins are a well-conserved family of proteins including Rvsp in yeast, amphiphysins and Bin proteins in mammals. In yeast, as in mammals, BAR proteins are known to be implicated in vesicular traffic. The Gyp5p (Ypl249p) and Ymr192p proteins interact in two-hybrid tests with both Rvs161p and Rvs167p. Gyp5p is a Ypt/Rab-specific GAP and Ymr192p is highly similar to Gyp5p. To specify the interaction between Rvsp and Gyp5p, we used two-hybrid tests to determine the domains necessary for these interactions. The specific SH3 domain of Rvs167p interacted with the N-terminal domain of Gyp5p. Moreover, Gyp5p could form a homodimer. Fus2 protein is a specific partner of Rvs161p in two-hybrid tests. To characterize the functional relationships between these five proteins, we have studied cellular phenotypes in single, double and triple mutant strains for which rvs mutants present defects, such as polarity, cell fusion and meiosis. Phenotypic analysis showed that Gyp5p, Ymr192p and Fus2p were involved in bipolar budding pattern and in meiosis. Specific epistasis or suppressive phenomena were found between the five mutations. Finally, The Gyp5p-GFP fusion protein was localized at the bud tip during apical growth and at the mother-bud neck during cytokinesis. Moreover, Rvs167p and Rvs161p were shown to be essential for the correct localization of Gyp5p. Altogether, these data support the hypothesis that both Rvsp proteins act in vesicular traffic through physical and functional interactions with Ypt/Rab regulators.
