Abstract excerpt
The S. pombe nuc2+ gene is required for mitotic chromosome disjunction. Its mutation arrests mitosis at the metaphase. The gene product is present in the nuclear scaffold-like fraction. The nuc2+ protein contains a domain, separated from ten 34 amino acid repeat segments, that is capable of binding AT-rich DNA in vitro. The ts mutation resides in one of the 34 amino acid repeats. Circular dichroism, limited...
