The nucleotide sequence of tRNA tyrosine from the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe.

چکیده
The sequence of tRNA tyrosine from the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe is pCUCCUGAUm1 GGUG psi AGDDGGDDAUCACACor (psi) CCGGUG psi Ai6 AACCGGUUGm7 GUm5C GCUAGT psi CGm1 AUUCUGGUCAGGAGACCAOH. This sequence differs in 30 nucleotides from the tRNA-Tyr seqence of the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It has a unique anticodon stem of only four GC base pairs. The normal fifth pair position of nucleotide 28-44 is occupied by a C-U and in 20% of the tRNA-Tyr molecules it is psi-U. This unusual feature and its implications are considered in the discussion.

Schizosaccharomyces U6 genes have a sequence within their introns that matches the B box consensus of tRNA internal promoters.
The gene for the U6 small nuclear RNA (snRNA) in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe is interrupted by an intron whose structure is similar to those found in messenger RNA precursors (pre-mRNAs) (1). This is the only known example of a split snRNA gene from any organism--animal, plant, or yeast. To address the uniqueness of the S. pombe U6 gene, we have investigated the structures of th...
متن کاملA homolog of mammalian antizyme is present in fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe but not detected in budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae
MOTIVATION The antizymes (AZ) are proteins that regulate cellular polyamine pools in metazoa. To search for remote homologs in single-celled eukaryotes, we used computer software based on hidden Markov models. The most divergent homolog detected was that of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Sequence identities between S.POMBE: AZ and known AZs are as low as 18-22% in the most conserv...
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 کاملMmd1p, a novel, conserved protein essential for normal mitochondrial morphology and distribution in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe.
The mmd1 mutation causes temperature-sensitive growth and defects in mitochondrial morphology and distribution in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. In mutant cells, mitochondria aggregate at the two cell ends, with increased aggregation at elevated temperatures. Microtubules, which mediate mitochondrial positioning in fission yeast, seem normal in mmd1 cells at permissive temperature...
متن کاملFeatured Organism: Schizosaccharomyces pombe, The Fission Yeast
Schizosaccharomyces pombe, the fission yeast, has long been a crucial model for the study of the eukaryote cell cycle. We take a look at this important yeast, whose genome has recently been completed, featuring comments from Valerie Wood, Jürg Bähler, Ramsay McFarlane, Susan Forsburg, Iain Hagan and Paul Nurse on the implications of having the complete sequence and future prospects for pombe ge...
