Our previous work found the two yeast plasma membrane-localized casein kinases Yck1p and Yck2p to be palmitoylated on C-terminal Cys-Cys sequences by the palmitoyl transferase Akr1p. The present work examines a third casein kinase, Yck3p which ends with the C-terminal sequence Cys-Cys-Cys-Cys-Phe-Cys-Cys-Cys. Yck3p is palmitoylated and localized to the vacuolar membrane. While the C-terminal cysteines are required for this palmitoylation, Akr1p is not. Palmitoylation requires the C-terminal Yck3p residues 463-524, while information for vacuolar sorting maps to the 409-462 interval. Vacuolar sorting is disrupted in cis through deletion of the 409-462 sequences and in trans through mutation of the AP-3 adaptin complex; both cis- and trans-mutations result in Yck3p missorting to the plasma membrane. This missorted Yck3p restores 37°C viability to yck1{Delta} yck2-ts cells. yck1{Delta} yck2-ts suppressor mutations isolated within the YCK3 gene identify the Yck3p vacuolar sorting signal - the tetrapeptide YDSI, a perfect fit to the YXX{Phi} adaptin-binding consensus. While YXX{Phi} signals have a well-appreciated role in the adaptin-mediated sorting of mammalian cells, this is the first signal of this class yet shown to operate in yeast.
