ABC14.5 (Rpb8) is a eukaryotic subunit common to all three nuclear RNA polymerases. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, ABC14.5 (Rpb8) is essential for cell viability, however its function remains unknown. We have cloned and characterised the Schizosaccharomyces pombe rpb8(+) cDNA. We found that S.pombe rpb8, unlike the similarly diverged human orthologue, cannot substitute for S.cerevisiae ABC14. 5 in vivo. To obtain information on the function of this RNA polymerase shared subunit we have used S.pombe rpb8 as a naturally altered molecule in heterologous expression assays in S.cerevisiae. Amino acid residue differences within the 67 N-terminal residues contribute to the functional distinction of the two yeast orthologues in S.cerevisiae. Overexpression of the S.cerevisiae largest subunit of RNA polymerase III C160 (Rpc1) allows S.pombe rpb8 to functionally replace ABC14.5 in S.cerevisiae, suggesting a specific genetic interaction between the S.cerevisiae ABC14.5 (Rpb8) and C160 subunits. We provide further molecular and biochemical evidence showing that the heterologously expressed S.pombe rpb8 molecule selectively affects RNApolymerase III but not RNA polymerase I complex assembly. We also report the identification of a S.cerevisiae ABC14.5-G120D mutant which affects RNA polymerase III.  相似文献

A chimeric plasmid carrying the structural gene (ATP2) for the mitochondrial ATPase beta subunit of Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been used to complement a mutant of Schizosaccharomyces pombe lacking the beta subunit (Boutry, M., and Goffeau, A. (1982) Eur. J. Biochem. 125, 471-477). Transformation with ATP2 restored the growth rate of S. pombe mutant on glycerol as well as the mitochondrial ATPase and 32Pi-ATP exchange activities to approximately 20% of the parental strain. Mitochondria prepared from the transformant contained a normal amount of a hybrid F1-ATPase consisting of the S. cerevisiae beta subunit assembled with the remaining subunits of the S. pombe ATPase complex. The presence of the S. cerevisiae beta subunit in the S. pombe ATPase complex conferred a sensitivity to the energy transfer inhibitors citreoviridin and oligomycin which was like that of the intact S. cerevisiae enzyme. The S. cerevisiae beta subunit assembled into the hybrid ATPase complex was the same size as the mature subunit in S. cerevisiae. These data indicate that the mechanism of mitochondrial import and the assembly of the cytoplasmically synthesized subunits is similar or identical in these evolutionary divergent yeasts. In addition, this study provides a new approach for the construction of hybrid mitochondrial ATPase complexes which can be used to examine the function of selected subunits in energy transduction.  相似文献
