Regulation of sphingolipid synthesis by the C2H2 zinc finger transcription factor Com2 through ubiquitin-proteasome mediated degradation pathway

Kosei Matsumoto, Ayane Nagai, Nao Komatsu, Yuko Ishino, Rina Shirai, Toshiya Ueno, Mio Masaki, Ken‐taro Sakata, Motohiro Tani, Tatsuya Maeda, Naotaka Tanaka, Mitsuaki Tabuchi

The paper identifies Com2 as a regulator of sphingolipid homeostasis in yeast, showing it is degraded via the ubiquitin-proteasome system in response to sphingolipid levels.
