Determinants of S. cerevisiae Dynein Localization and Activation Implications for the Mechanism of Spindle Positioning
BACKGROUND During anaphase in budding yeast, dynein inserts the mitotic spindle across the neck between mother and daughter cells. The mechanism of dynein-dependent spindle positioning is thought to involve recruitment of dynein to the cell cortex followed by capture of astral microtubules (aMTs). RESULTS We report the native-level localization of the dynein heavy chain and characterize the e...
متن کاملDeterminants of Protein Abundance and Translation Efficiency in S. cerevisiae
The translation efficiency of most Saccharomyces cerevisiae genes remains fairly constant across poor and rich growth media. This observation has led us to revisit the available data and to examine the potential utility of a protein abundance predictor in reinterpreting existing mRNA expression data. Our predictor is based on large-scale data of mRNA levels, the tRNA adaptation index, and the e...
متن کاملRegulation of the processivity and intracellular localization of Saccharomyces cerevisiae dynein by dynactin.
Dynactin, a large multisubunit complex, is required for intracellular transport by dynein; however, its cellular functions and mechanism of action are not clear. Prior studies suggested that dynactin increases dynein processivity by tethering the motor to the microtubule through its own microtubule binding domains. However, this hypothesis could not be tested without a recombinant source of dyn...
متن کاملUnbiased selection of localization elements reveals cis-acting determinants of mRNA bud localization in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Cytoplasmic mRNA localization is a mechanism used by many organisms to generate asymmetry and sequester protein activity. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, mRNA transport to bud tips of dividing cells is mediated by the binding of She2p, She3p, and Myo4p to coding regions of the RNA. To date, 24 bud-localized mRNAs have been identified, yet the RNA determinants that mediate localization re...
متن کاملRationally designed, heterologous S. cerevisiae transcripts expose novel expression determinants.
Deducing generic causal relations between RNA transcript features and protein expression profiles from endogenous gene expression data remains a major unsolved problem in biology. The analysis of gene expression from heterologous genes contributes significantly to solving this problem, but has been heavily biased toward the study of the effect of 5' transcript regions and to prokaryotes. Here, ...
