چکیده
MCM proteins are required for the proper regulation of DNA replication. There are six MCM proteins in all eukaryotes which interact to form a large complex. We report the cloning of fission yeast mcm3 +. mcm3 + is essential and spores carrying a Delta mcm3 disruption arrest with an apparently replicated DNA content. The protein is found constitutively in the nucleus and levels remain constant throughout the cell cycle. Mcm3p binds particularly tightly to Nda4p (Mcm5p), but is loosely associated with the other Schizosaccharomyces pombe MCM proteins. Thus, Mcm3p is a peripheral MCM subunit.

A human nuclear protein with sequence homology to a family of early S phase proteins is required for entry into S phase and for cell division.
Molecular cloning and characterisation of a human nuclear protein designated BM28 is reported. On the amino acid level this 892 amino acid protein, migrating on SDS-gels as a 125 kDa polypeptide, shares areas of significant similarity with a recently defined family of early S phase proteins. The members of this family, the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Mcm2p, Mcm3p, Cdc46p/Mcm5p, the Schizosaccharom...
متن کاملUncleavable Nup98–Nup96 is functional in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe
Essential nucleoporins Nup98 and Nup96 are coded by a single open reading frame, and produced by autopeptidase cleavage. The autocleavage site of Nup98-Nup96 is highly conserved in a wide range of organisms. To understand the importance of autocleavage, we examined a mutant that produces the Nup98-Nup96 joint molecule as a sole protein product of the nup189 (+) gene in the fission yeast Schizos...
متن کاملProteomic analysis of the U1 snRNP of Schizosaccharomyces pombe reveals three essential organism-specific proteins
Characterization of spliceosomal complexes in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe revealed particles sedimenting in the range of 30-60S, exclusively containing U1 snRNA. Here, we report the tandem affinity purification (TAP) of U1-specific protein complexes. The components of the complexes were identified using (LC-MS/MS) mass spectrometry. The fission yeast U1 snRNP contains 16 protein...
متن کاملHsp16p is required for thermotolerance in nuclear mRNA export in fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe.
Export of mRNA from the nucleus to the cytoplasm is one of the essential steps for eukaryotic gene expression. In the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, heat shock stress at 42 degrees C causes block of mRNA export from the nucleus. We now report that saline and ethanol stresses also inhibit nuclear mRNA export, resulting in accumulation of bulk poly (A)+ RNA, as well as a specific mRNA, ...
متن کاملFunctional analysis of subcellular localization and protein-protein interaction sequences in the essential DNA ligase I protein of fission yeast.
DNA ligase I (Lig I) has key roles in chromosomal DNA replication and repair in the eukaryotic cell nucleus. In the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae the Lig I enzyme Cdc9p is also required for mitochondrial DNA replication and repair. In this report, dual nuclear-mitochondrial localization is demonstrated to be a property of the essential Lig I enzyme Cdc17 from the distantly related fiss...
