Identification of open reading frames in Schizosaccharomyces pombe cDNAs.

چکیده
A total of 214 non-overlapping cDNA clones from Schizosaccharomyces pombe were selected and completely sequenced. The clones not previously reported were divided into the following three groups: 1) homologous to Saccharomyces cerevisiae genes (139 clones); 2) homologous to genes from other organisms but not to those from Sac. cerevisiae (4 clones); and 3) no similar sequences (40 clones). Among the 31 sequences identical to those in the public databases, 4 genes have regions corresponding to introns. Protein sequences which had homologs both in budding yeast and mammals were compared with those from Sac. cerevisiae and mammals. The search revealed that the evolutionary distances among these species are similar at least with genes of this category.

Uncleavable 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 کاملThe hermes transposon of Musca domestica is an efficient tool for the mutagenesis of Schizosaccharomyces pombe.
Currently, no transposon-based method for the mutagenesis of Schizosaccharomyces pombe exists. We have developed such a system based on the introduction of the hermes transposon from the housefly into S. pombe. This system efficiently disrupts open reading frames and allows the insertion sites to be readily identified.
متن کاملPombe: a gene-finding and exon-intron structure prediction system for fission yeast.
A special program developed by the authors, called Pombe, identifies protein coding regions in the Schizosaccharomyces pombe genome. Linear discriminant analysis was applied to predict 5'-terminal, internal, 3'-terminal exons (coding-exon) and introns. The accuracy of the prediction was tested by cross verifications. The sensitivity, specificity and correlation coefficient for the internal exon...
متن کاملS. pombe genome deletion project: an update.
The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe is a model organism used widely to study various aspects of eukaryotic biology. A collection of heterozygous diploid strains containing individual deletions in nearly all S. pombe genes has been created using a PCR based strategy. However, deletion of some genes has not been possible using this methodology. Here we use an efficient knockout strategy b...
متن کاملIdentification of a gene encoding the predicted ribosomal protein L7b divergently transcribed from POL1 in fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe.
A 0.85 Kb RNA molecule is transcribed in the region upstream from the 5'-end of the S. pombe POL1 gene encoding the catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase alpha. The nucleotide sequence of the DNA region hybridizing with the 0.85 Kb transcript allowed us to identify an open reading frame coding for a predicted peptide which shows 50% identity with the rat ribosomal protein L7 and which is transcri...
