Gene Description

YNK1 encodes the single nucleoside diphosphate kinase (NDPK, EC 2.7.4.6) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the yeast homologue of human NME1/NM23. The homo-oligomeric enzyme transfers the gamma-phosphate of a nucleoside triphosphate (normally ATP) to any ribo- or deoxyribonucleoside diphosphate via a ping-pong mechanism with a phosphohistidine intermediate, producing the UTP, CTP, GTP and dNTPs needed for RNA and DNA synthesis; it has broad specificity, with dTDP, CDP and UDP among the best acceptors in vitro. Ynk1 is predominantly cytosolic, with a small fraction imported into the mitochondrial intermembrane space, where it has been proposed to supply GTP to IMS proteins. YNK1 is not essential, consistent with redundant NDP-phosphorylating activities in yeast, but ynk1 mutants show delayed repair of UV- and etoposide-induced nuclear DNA damage and an elevated mutation rate.

GO:0009220 pyrimidine ribonucleotide biosynthetic process
RCA
GO_REF:0000123
ACCEPT
Summary: From the pyrimidine ribonucleotide de novo superpathway (UDP to UTP); UTP is a pyrimidine ribonucleotide, so correct.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:1659321

RCA
GO_REF:0000123
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: YeastPathways salvage pathways of pyrimidine ribonucleotides (CDP -> CTP): Ynk1 phosphorylates salvaged CDP. Correct in context, but Ynk1 is a general NDPK rather than a salvage-specific enzyme.
Reason: Pathway context of the general NDPK activity.

Summary: YeastPathways superpathway of purine biosynthesis and salvage: Ynk1 phosphorylates GDP/dADP/dGDP downstream of salvage. Correct in context, non-specific.

GO:0046085 adenosine metabolic process
RCA
GO_REF:0000123
MODIFY
Summary: YeastPathways adenosine deoxyribonucleotides de novo biosynthesis II (Ynk1: dADP + ATP -> dATP) was mapped to 'adenosine metabolic process', which concerns the nucleoside adenosine. Ynk1 neither makes nor metabolises adenosine; the reaction belongs to dATP biosynthesis.
Reason: Pathway-to-GO mapping names the wrong compound class (nucleoside instead of deoxynucleotide).
Proposed replacements: dATP biosynthetic process
Supporting Evidence:

RCA
GO_REF:0000123
MODIFY
Summary: YeastPathways superpathway of guanosine nucleotides de novo biosynthesis II (Ynk1: GDP and dGDP phosphorylation) mapped to 'de novo' GMP biosynthetic process. GMP synthesis ends at Gua1; Ynk1 acts two phosphorylations later and is not part of GMP biosynthesis.
Reason: Ynk1's reaction is downstream of GMP; the correct process is (d)GTP biosynthesis.

Core Functions

Broad-specificity nucleoside diphosphate kinase: transfers the gamma-phosphate of ATP to ribo- and deoxyribonucleoside diphosphates (UDP, CDP, GDP, dNDPs) via a phosphohistidine intermediate, making the NTPs and dNTPs for RNA and DNA synthesis; mainly cytosolic, with a minor IMS pool.

Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:1659321
    Nucleoside-diphosphate kinase is an enzyme which catalyzes the phosphorylation of nucleoside diphosphates into the corresponding triphosphates for nucleic acid biosynthesis
  • PMID:1659321
    the relative activity of nucleoside diphosphates (NDP) as phosphate acceptors is in the order of dTDP greater than CDP greater than UDP
  • PMID:12472466
    we demonstrate that in Saccharomyces cerevisiae a small fraction of total NDPK activity encoded by YNK1 is present in the intermembrane space (IMS) of mitochondria

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Which enzymes provide NDP kinase activity in ynk1 null cells (e.g. adenylate kinases or other NMP kinases), and how much of total NTP/dNTP synthesis does Ynk1 normally carry?

Q: Is the DNA-repair defect of ynk1 mutants due to altered dNTP pools or to an NM23-like non-NDPK activity of Ynk1?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Measure NTP/dNTP pools and repair kinetics in ynk1 cells complemented with catalytically dead (active-site histidine) versus wild-type Ynk1.

SGD gene description for YNK1 (yeast)

Nucleoside diphosphate kinase; catalyzes the transfer of gamma phosphates from nucleoside triphosphates, usually ATP, to nucleoside diphosphates by a mechanism that involves formation of an autophosphorylated enzyme intermediate; protein abundance increases in response to DNA replication stress
