Ste20-like protein kinases are required for normal localization of cell growth and for cytokinesis in budding yeast.

Abstract:

:The yeast Ste20 protein kinase is involved in pheromone response. Mammalian homologs of Ste20 exist, but their function remains unknown. We identified a novel yeast STE20 homolog, CLA4, in a screen for mutations lethal in the absence of the G1 cyclins Cln1 and Cln2. Cla4 is involved in budding and cytokinesis and interacts with Cdc42, a GTPase required for polarized cell growth. Despite a cytokinesis defect, cla4 mutants are viable. However, double cla4 ste20 mutants cannot maintain septin rings at the bud neck and cannot undergo cytokinesis. Mutations in CDC12, which encodes one of the septins, were found in the same screen. Cla4 and Ste20 kinases apparently share a function in localizing cell growth with respect to the septin ring.

  • Codon usage affects the structure and function of the Drosophila circadian clock protein PERIOD.

    abstract::Codon usage bias is a universal feature of all genomes, but its in vivo biological functions in animal systems are not clear.
