Abstract excerpt
Two novel protein kinase C (PKC)-like genes, pck1+ and pck2+ were isolated from fission yeast by PCR. Both contain common domains of PKC-related molecules, but lack a putative Ca(2+)-binding domain so that they may belong to the nPKC group. Gene disruption of pck1+ and pck2+ establishes that they share an overlapping essential function for cell viability. Cells of a single pck2 deletion display severe defects in...
