Abstract excerpt
We expressed human myotonic dystrophy protein kinase (DMPK) in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, in which the overexpression of human DMPK affects cell growth and cell shape. The human DMPK protein has a leucine-rich domain at the N-terminus, a serine/threonine kinase domain in the middle, and a hydrophobic region at the C-terminus. C-Terminus-deleted DMPK produced a middle-swollen phenotype...
