Fission yeast RNA triphosphatase reads an Spt5 CTD code.
mRNA capping enzymes are directed to nascent RNA polymerase II (Pol2) transcripts via interactions with the carboxy-terminal domains (CTDs) of Pol2 and transcription elongation factor Spt5. Fission yeast RNA triphosphatase binds to the Spt5 CTD, comprising a tandem repeat of nonapeptide motif TPAWNSGSK. Here we report the crystal structure of a Pct1·Spt5-CTD complex, which revealed two CTD dock...
متن کاملHow Fission Yeast Fission in the Middle
In fission yeast, we propose that the division plane may be positioned by the position of the premitotic nucleus, perhaps by a signal emanating from the nucleus. Gene products involved in the assembly of the ring and its temporal and spatial controls are beginning to be characterized. Some of these, such as mid1p, may be involved in signals that position the division site. In animal cells, the ...
متن کاملThe fission yeast microtubule cytoskeleton.
The Schizosaccharomyces pombe genome sequencing project (http://www. sanger.ac.uk/Projects/S_pombe/) is nearly complete, and this is likely to generate interest in fission yeast as a model system beyond its traditional strongholds in the study of the cell cycle and sexual differentiation. In many fields S. pombe will offer a useful complement to the more widely studied Saccharomyces cerevisiae,...
متن کاملFission yeast septation
In animal cells cytokinesis relies on the contraction of an actomyosin ring that pulls the plasma membrane to create a cleavage furrow, whose ingression finally divides the mother cell into two daughter cells. Fungal cells are surrounded by a tough and flexible structure called cell wall, which is considered to be the functional equivalent of the extracellular matrix in animal cells. Therefore,...
متن کاملPunctuation and syntax of the RNA polymerase II CTD code in fission yeast.
The primary structure and phosphorylation pattern of the tandem Y(1)S(2)P(3)T(4)S(5)P(6)S(7) repeats of the RNA polymerase II carboxyl-terminal domain (CTD) convey information about the transcription apparatus--a CTD code--to a large ensemble of CTD-binding receptor proteins. Four of the seven coding "letters" of the fission yeast CTD (Tyr1, Pro3, Ser5, Pro6) are essential in vivo, but the gram...
