The Dsl1p complex in S. cerevisiae, consisting of Dsl1p and Tip20p, is involved in Golgi -ER retrograde transport and it is functionally conserved from yeast to mammalian cells. To further characterize this complex, we analyzed the function of Dsl3p, a protein that interacts with Dsl1p in yeast two hybrids screens. DSL3, recently identified in a genome wide analysis of essential genes as SEC39, encodes a cytosolic protein of 82 kDa that is peripherally associated with membranes derived from the ER. There is strong genetic interaction between DSL3 and other factors required for Golgi - ER retrograde transport. Size exclusion chromatography and affinity purification approaches confirmed that Dsl3p is associated with subunits of the Dsl1p complex. The complex also includes the Q/t-SNARE proteins, Use1p, Sec20p and Ufe1p, integral membrane proteins that constitute the trimeric acceptor for R/v-SNAREs on Golgi-derived vesicles at the ER. Using mutants, we performed a detailed analysis of interactions between subunits of the Dsl1p complex and the ER localized SNARE proteins. This analysis showed that both Dsl1p and Dsl3p are required for the stable interaction of the SNARE, Use1p with a central subcomplex consisting of Tip20p and the SNARE proteins Ufe1p and Sec20p.
