Boi1 and Boi2 are paralogous proteins essential for bud formation in budding yeast. So far, the domains that target Boi1/Boi2 to the polarity sites and function in bud formation are not well understood. Here, we report that a coiled-coil domain of Boi2 cooperates with the adjacent PH domain to confer Boi2's bud-cortex localization and major function in cell growth. The PH domain portion of the PH-CC bi-domain interacts with the Rho GTPases Cdc42 and Rho3 and both interactions are independent of the GTP/GDP-bound state of each GTPase. Interestingly, high-copyRHO3andBOI2but notCDC42suppressed the growth defect ofRGA1-C538overexpression and thesec15-1mutant and thisBOI2function depends onRHO3, suggesting that Boi2 may function in the Rho3 pathway. The SAM domain of Boi2 plays an essential role in high-copy suppression of the two mutants as well as in the early bud-neck localization of Boi2. The SAM domain and the CC domain also interact homotypically. They are likely involved in the formation of Boi2-containing protein complex. Our results provide new insights in the localization and function of Boi2 and highlight the importance of the PH-CC bi-domain and the SAM domain in Boi2's localization and function.
