Abstract

THOC7/Mft1 is a member of the THO complex that is an evolutionally conserved assembly connecting transcription elongation with mRNP packaging and mRNA export. In fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, an ortholog (spThoc7) of THOC7/Mft1 was isolated by partial complementation of the lethality in synthetic lethal mutant, SLRsm1. A deletion mutant in a diploid strain was constructed by replacing one of spThoc7-coding region with an $ura4^+$ gene using one-step gene disruption method. Tetrad analysis showed that the spthoc7 is nonessential for growth. But the ${\Delta}thoc7$ null mutant showed slight defects of both growth and mRNA export. And the functional spThoc7-GFP protein is localized mainly in the nucleus. These results suggest that spThoc7 is also involved in mRNA export from the nucleus to cytoplasm.

THOC7/Mft1는 mRNA가 전사되는 동안 mRNP의 포장과 mRNA 방출에 관여하는 진화적으로 잘 보존된 THO 복합체의 구성인자이다. 분열효모 Schizosaccharomyces pombe에서 THOC7/Mft1의 이종상동체(spThoc7)가 합성치사 돌연변이체 SLRsm1의 생장 결함을 부분적으로 상보하는 것으로 선별되었다. 이배체 S. pombe 균주에 하나의 spthoc7 유전자만을 결실시킨 후 4분체 분석을 수행한 결과, 이 유전자는 생장에 필수적이지 않았다. 하지만, ${\Delta}thoc7$ 결실돌연변이는 생장과 mRNA의 핵에서 세포질로의 방출에 약간의 결함을 보였다. 기능을 하는 spThoc7-GFP단백질은 주로 핵 안에 존재하였다. 이와 같은 결과들은 spThoc7도 mRNA 방출에 관여하고 있음을 시사한다.
