Abstract: | The Saccharomyces cerevisiae temperature-sensitive mutants srm1-1, mtr1-2 and prp20-1 carry alleles of a gene encoding a homolog of mammalian RCC1. In order to identify a protein interacting with RCC1, a series
of suppressors of the srm1-1 mutation were isolated as cold-sensitive mutants and one of the mutants, designated ded1-21, was found to be defective in the DED1 gene. The double mutant, srm1-1 ded1-21, could grow at 35° C, but not at 37° C. A revertant of srm1-1 ded1-21 that became able to grow at 37° C acquired another mutation in the SRM1 gene, indicating the tight relationship between SRM1 and DED1. In all the rcc1
- strains examined, the amount of mutated SRM1 proteins was reduced or not detectable at the nonpermissive temperature. While
mutated SRM1 protein was stabilized in all of the rcc1
- strains by the ded1-21 mutation, the ded1-21 mutation suppressed both srm1-1 and mtr1-2, but not the prp20-1 mutation, contrary to the previous finding that overproduction of the S. cerevisiae Ran homolog GSP1 suppresses prp20-1, but not srm1-1 or mtr1-2.
