Abstract

The sp%pl null mutant was constructed to study the function of fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe spThp1, which is homologous to budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae THP1. Tetrad analysis showed that the spThp1 is not essential for vegetative growth. The spThp1 null mutant also showed no massive poly(A)+ RNA export defect. However, spThp1 null is genetically associated with spMex67 null. These results suggest that spThp1 is involved in mRNA export out of the nucleus.

분열효모인 Schizosaccharomyces pombe에서 mRNA의 핵에서 세포질로의 이동에 관여할 것으로 여겨지는 spThp1 유전자의 결실돌연변이주(deletion mutant)를 제조하여 그 특성을 조사하였다. 이배체(diploid) 균주의 한 spThp1 유전자를 결실시킨 후 4분체분석(tetrad analysis)을 수행한 결과, 이 유전자는 생장에 필수적이지 않았다. 또한 결실돌연변이주는 mRNA 수송도 큰 결함을 보이지 않았다. 하지만 spThp1 는 mRNA의 운반체를 암호화하고 있는 spMex67와 합성치사(synthetic lethality)를 보였다. 이 결과는 분열효모의 spThpl도 mRNA의 핵에서 세포질로의 이동에 역할을 하고 있음을 암시한다.
