Immunofluorescence Localization of Schizosaccharomjyces pombe $cdc103^{+}$ Gene Product

  • Published : 1996.09.01

Abstract

$cdc103^+$ gene in Schizosaccharomyces pombe which is similar to the CDC3 gene in Saccharomyces cerevisiae was cloned and sequenced. Comparison of the predicted amino acid sequences of $cdc103^+$ and CDC3 revealed that they share significant similarity (43% identity and 56% identity or similarity) to each other. The gene product of CDC3 in S. cerevisiae is known to be a highly ordered ring of filaments that lies just inside the cytoplasmic membrane in the region of the mother-bud neck. In order to characterize the gene product of $cdc103^+$ in Schizosaccharomyces pombe, fusion proteins were used to generate the polyclonal antibodies specific for the gene product (cdc103p). In immunofluorescence experiments, these antibodies decorate the region of the septum formation as a double ring structure late in the cell division cycle.
