malfunction | a Reb1p-binding site mutation abolishes the DGK1-mediated nuclear/endoplasmic reticulum membrane expansion | Saccharomyces cerevisiae |
physiological function | the enzyme catalyzes the CTP-dependent phosphorylation of diacylglycerol to form phosphatidate, and in conjunction with PAH1-encoded phosphatidate phosphatase, it controls the levels of phosphatidate and diacylglycerol for phospholipid synthesis, membrane growth, and lipid droplet formation. A functional level of diacylglycerol kinase is regulated by the Reb1p transcription factor. Reb1p specifically binds the consensus recognition sequence (CGGGTAA, -166 to -160) in the DGK1 promoter. Diacylglycerol kinase is regulated at the level of transcription. The expression of diacylglycerol kinase is induced by the Reb1p transcription factor, and the resulting activity increase is essential for the enzyme function in phospholipid synthesis. The DGK1-encoded DAG kinase activity causes the accumulation of phosphatidic acid at the nuclear/endoplasmicreticulum membrane when the phospholipid is not hydrolyzed by PAH1-encoded phosphatidic acid phosphatase | Saccharomyces cerevisiae |
