Abstract excerpt
Fission yeast ptr1-1 is one of the mRNA transport mutants that accumulate poly(A)+ RNA in the nuclei at the nonpermissive temperature. We found that the ptr1+ gene encodes a homolog of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Tom1p, a hect type ubiquitin ligase. In ptr1-1, a conserved amino acid in the hect domain of Ptr1p is mutated. The ptr1+ gene is essential for growth and its mutation did not affect nuclear protein export....
