Symbol: RTG2 Name: ReTroGrade regulation 2 Entrez gene ID: 852640 Ensembl gene ID: YGL252C Species: Yeast (Taxid: 4932) Functional description: Rtg2p; Sensor of mitochondrial dysfunction; regulates the subcellular location of Rtg1p and Rtg3p, transcriptional activators of the retrograde (RTG) and TOR pathways; Rtg2p is inhibited by the phosphorylated form of Mks1p [Source:SGD;Acc:S000003221] [Ensembl] Observation: RTG2 is required for replicative lifespan extension associated with the retrograde response, a pathway that signals the functional status of mitochondria to the nucleus to regulate the expression of several genes [11024000]. RTG2 is not required for replicative lifespan extension by DR [11024000]. RTG2 null mutants are not petite [8422683], but display various nutrient auxotrphies and alterations of carbohydrate metabolism [7727418]. Interventions: Assays: Replicative Lifespan Classification: Aging Relevance Analysis/Source: Homologs Edit \ Update (Admin) | Delete |
