Overproduction of the ER membrane protein Rcr1 makes Saccharomyces cerevisiae resistant to Congo red by reducing the chitin content through a unknown mechanism. By both co-immunoprecipitation and yeast two-hybrid experiments, specific interaction between Rcr1 and the ubiquitin ligase Rsp5 was found. This binding was largely mediated by a singular VPEY sequence in Rcr1 in addition to PPSY, the consensus ligand motif of the WW domains. Mutant analysis indicated that Rsp5 and other Rcr1-interacting proteins discovered in the current screen were not engaged in Congo red resistance.
