Abstract excerpt
RCC1, a conserved chromosomal protein with a seven-bladed propeller is a GDP/GTP nucleotide exchange factor for RanGTPase that mediates various cellular events. We isolated 16 temperature-sensitive (ts) mutants of S. pombeRCC1-homolog, pim1+, by error-prone PCR. Five pim1(ts) mutants had a single mutation. The obtained pim1(ts) mutations and previously reported mutations were localized on similar sites in seven...
