A similar function can probably be attributed to SpCCE1 in S. pombe, since the majority of mitochondrial DNA from the Spcce1::ura4- strain is in an aggregated form apparently due to extensive interlinking of DNA molecules by recombination junctions.

Detailed functional analyses lead us to propose that Alp11B comprises three functional domains: the N-terminal half executes the essential function, the central coiled-coil region is necessary for satisfactory maintenance of cellular alpha-tubulin levels, and the C-terminal CLIP-170 domain is required for efficient binding to alpha-tubulin.</p>","PeriodicalId":18636,"journal":{"name":"Molecular & general genetics : MGG","volume":"263 5","pages":"752-60"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1007/s004380000252","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21746518","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We report here the characterization of novel staurosporine- and temperature-sensitive mutants (stt). Cloning and integration mapping showed that the genes STT2/ STT6, STT5, STT7, STT8 and STT9 are allelic to VPS18, ERG10, GPI1, VPS34 and VPS11, respectively. The products of ERG10 and GPI1, respectively, catalyze mevalonate and glycosyl phosphatidylinositol anchor synthesis, while VPS18 and VPS11 genes belong to the class C VPS (Vacuolar Protein Sorting) genes, and the VPS34 gene is classified as a class D VPS. Therefore, staurosporine sensitivity is affected by ergosterol and glycolipid biosynthesis and by vacuolar functions. We found that other vps mutants belonging to classes C and D exhibit staurosporine sensitivity, and that they show calcium sensitivity and fail to grow on glycerol as the sole carbon source; both of the last two characteristics are shared by vacuolar H+-ATPase mutants (vma). As vma mutants were also found to show staurosporine-sensitive growth, staurosporine sensitivity is likely to be affected by acidification of the vacuole. Moreover, wild type yeast cells are more sensitive to staurosporine in alkaline media than in acidic media, suggesting that staurosporine is exported from the cytosol by H+/drug antiporters. Pleiotropic drug resistance (PDR) genes also provide some resistance to staurosporine, because deltapdr5, deltasnq2 and deltayor1 strains are more sensitive to staurosporine than the wild-type strain. This suggests that staurosporine is also exported by the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters on the plasma membrane. vma mutants and vps mutants of classes C and D vps are sensitive to hygromycin B and vanadate, while ABC transporter-depleted mutants do not show such sensitivity, indicating that two systems differ in their ability to protect the cell against different types of drug.</p>","PeriodicalId":18636,"journal":{"name":"Molecular & general genetics : MGG","volume":"263 5","pages":"877-88"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1007/s004380000255","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21745114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, mutations in SUMO-activating enzyme and mutations in Ulp2p suppress each other, indicating that SUMO conjugation and deconjugation must be in balance for cells to grow normally.

The Vtg genes differ from each other by insertion, deletion and rearrangement events, although, at the sequence level, they show a high degree of similarity. Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and Southern analysis indicate that all gene copies are contained in a single 1,500-kb region, and that most of the genes form tandem arrays separated by a conserved 4.5-kb intergenic region. The presence of large reiterated fragments indicates that this region has been subjected to several amplification events.
