IST2 [YBR086C]
Increased sodium tolerance protein 2; Cortical ER protein involved in ER-plasma membrane tethering; one of 6 proteins (Ist2p, Scs2p, Scs22p, Tcb1p, Tcb2p, Tcb3p) that connect ER to the plasma membrane (PM) and regulate PM phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PI4P) levels by controlling access of Sac1p phosphatase to its substrate PI4P in the PM; localizes to the mother cell in small-budded cells and to the bud in medium- and large-budded cells; mRNA is transported to the bud tip by an actomyosin-driven process
Synonyms: IST2, IST2p, P38250, P38250p, YBR0809 ...
