General Information

No. Gene Name(s) Paragraph Text
2218 CMB1 A recessive gene determining temperature-sensitive fission arrest was described in 1976 under the name "mo1". Around 1979, following the (then) new nomenclatural rules, it was re-named cdaA1 (CDA="cell division arrest"). In the early 1980's, Y. Watanabe and his associates made some remarkable findings reported in 1986. Using 2D-gel electrophoresis, they found a protein, which they called p85 (later renamed Cmb1p), which was localized to the oral apparatus and also to an apical filament ring and to structures (which turned out to be basal-body couplets) located just posterior to the division furrow. The equatorial localization was observed in cdaA1 homozygotes at the permissive temperature (when division took place), but not after a shift to the restrictive temperature (when the division furrow failed to develop). Based on these studies it was naturally assumed that p85 was the protein product of the cdaA gene, especially as p85 differed slightly in mobility in 2D-gels made from wild-type and cdaA1 cell extracts. However, in 1999 the gene encoding p85 was cloned. This yielded a big surprise: "The cdaA1 p85 cDNA contained one open reading frame and its deduced amino acid sequence, cdaA1 p85, was completely identical to that of wild-type p85" (p. 116). There were some differences in the 3'UTR and 5' UTRs, but they "do not affect the transcription and translation of the p85 gene, because the amounts of transcribed mRNA and translated protein of cdaA1 p85 were equivalent to those of wild type p85" (p. 118). The authors conclude the Results section as follows: "Thus, we suppose that the difference in molecular weight between cdaA1 and wild-type p85 was caused by a disorder of post-translational modification mechanisms of p85 in cdaA1 cells." (p. 116). These results demonstrate that p85 is likely not the product of the cdaA1 gene, and that the gene mutated in the cdaA1 strain is more likely to be a protein responsible for the post-translational modification of p85, which is altered in the cdaA1 mutant.
