Abstract excerpt
Fission yeast Pik1p is one of three phosphatidylinositol 4-kinases associated with the Golgi complex, but its function is not fully understood. Deletion of pot1+ causes telomere degradation and chromosome circularization. We searched for the gene which becomes synthetically lethal with pot1Δ. We obtained a novel pik1 mutant, pik1-1, which is synthetically lethal with pot1Δ. We found phosphoinositol 4-phosphate in...
