Abstract

In fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, the cdc31 gene encodes a member of the conserved $Ca^{2+}$-binding centrin/CDC31 family, which is a component of spindle pole body. Here, we demonstrate that the S. pombe cdc31p is also a component of TREX-2 complex, which influences mRNA export from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. Repression of the cdc31 gene expression caused growth defect with accumulation of $poly(A)^+$ RNA in the nucleus. On the other hand, over-expression of cdc31 exhibited no defects of both growth and bulk mRNA export, but showed somewhat longer cell morphology. Yeast two-hybrid analysis showed that Cdc31 interacted with Sac3 and Pci2, the subunits of TREX-2 complex. These results suggest that S. pombe Cdc31 is also involved in mRNA export as a component of TREX-2 complex.

분열효모 Schizosaccharomyces pombe의 cdc31 유전자는 진화적으로 잘 보존된 $Ca^{2+}$-결합 centrin/CDC31 계열에 속하며 방추극체(spindle pole body)의 한 성분인 단백질을 암호화하고 있다. 이 논문에서는 S. pombe의 Cdc31 단백질이 방추극체뿐만 아니라 TREX-2 복합체의 구성인자로서 mRNA의 핵에서 세포질로의 방출에 영향을 미치는지 알아보았다. cdc31 유전자의 발현을 억제하면 생장 결함을 보였고, $poly(A)^+$ RNA도 핵 안에 축적되는 현상을 보였다. 한편 cdc31 유전자를 과발현시키면, 생장과 mRNA 방출에 결함을 보이진 않았지만 세포의 길이가 길어지는 형태를 보였다. Yeast two-hybrid 분석에서 Cdc31 단백질은 TREX-2 복합체의 또 다른 구성인자인 Sac3 그리고 Pci2와 상호작용을 하였다. 이와 같은 결과들은 S. pombe의 Cdc31 단백질도 역시 TREX-2 복합체의 구성인자로 mRNA 방출에 관여하고 있음을 시사한다.
