Abstract


The DST2 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae encodes a DNA strand exchange protein, STP beta, which is required for homologous recombination in both mitotic or meiotic cells. We have cloned a DST2-related gene from the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe and designated it dhp1+. The nucleotide sequence of dhp1+ revealed an open reading frame encoding a protein composed of 991 amino acids. The predicted amino acid sequence was significantly homologous to the S. cerevisiae STP beta, but lacked the carboxy-terminal sequence present in STP beta. Furthermore, dhp1+ shows greater homology to RAT1/HKE1, a gene which is involved in RNA trafficking and processing. Genetic experiments showed that dhp1+ on an S. cerevisiae expression vector could rescue both the defects of the S. cerevisiae DST2 disruptant, slow growth rate and a sporulation defect, and the lethality of the S. cerevisiae rat1ts mutation. This implies the functional similarity of dhp1+ to both DST2 and RAT1. However unlike DST2, dhp1+ is an essential gene for cell growth in S. pombe, suggesting that dhp1+ is not the true homologue of DST2 but rather of RAT1 in S. pombe. The possible roles of dhp1+ in recombination and cell growth in S. pombe are discussed.
