Gene Description

SNO1 (YMR095C) encodes the glutaminase subunit (PdxT/Pdx2 family, class-I glutamine amidotransferase) of the two-subunit pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) synthase of the fungal-type de novo vitamin B6 pathway. Sno1 forms a complex with the synthase subunit Snz1, which activates it. Within the complex Sno1 hydrolyses L-glutamine to L-glutamate and ammonia and channels the ammonia to Snz1, which condenses it with ribose 5-phosphate and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate to form PLP. Sno1 is cytoplasmic and is encoded divergently from SNZ1. It is needed for optimal PLP synthesis and for growth without vitamin B6 under some conditions; the SNO2/SNO3 paralogs are induced by thiamine limitation.

GO Term Evidence Action Reason
GO:0004359 glutaminase activity
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: IBA (contributes_to) glutaminase activity from the PdxT/SNO node PTN000774355, seeded by SNO1 itself (SGD:S000004701) and bacterial PdxT.
Reason: Sno1 is the glutaminase subunit; contributes_to correctly reflects that activity requires the Snz partner.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:14764090
the complex of Sno1p and Snz1p is a glutamine amidotransferase with the former serving as the glutaminase, although the activity was barely detectable with Sno1p alone

ACCEPT
Summary: The co-expressed Sno1-Snz1 complex hydrolyses glutamine (Km 3.4 mM; DON-sensitive), with Sno1 as the glutaminase; Sno1 alone is barely active, hence contributes_to.
Reason: Core activity, directly measured for the yeast complex.
Supporting Evidence:

REMOVE
Summary: Genome-wide Y2H detected Sno1-Snz1 (IntAct).
Reason: Removal does not mean the interaction is false; the Sno1-Snz1 interaction is real, but "protein binding" is uninformative. Glutaminase complex membership (GO:1903600) captures it.

Summary: ComplexPortal IDA: the Sno1-Snz1 complex hydrolyses glutamine.
Reason: Glutamine hydrolysis by Sno1 is a part-reaction that supplies ammonia for PLP synthesis, not a glutamine catabolic role.

MODIFY
Summary: IBA pyridoxine metabolic process from PTN000774355. SNO/PdxT supplies ammonia for de novo PLP formation; pyridoxine is not made or consumed by this enzyme.
Reason: Legacy pyridoxine-specific scope; vitamin B6 biosynthesis is accurate (as in the SNO2 review).
Proposed replacements: vitamin B6 biosynthetic process

MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: Sno1 carries a TSC22-like 16-residue motif; overexpression delays H2O2-induced death and Ξ”sno1 cells are hypersensitive to H2O2.
Reason: H2O2 hypersensitivity of a PLP-synthase mutant is an indirect, pleiotropic phenotype (PLP deficiency affects many enzymes); there is no mechanistic evidence that Sno1 regulates an apoptotic program.
