    Notes: A gene (VRP1) encoding a novel proline-rich protein (verprolin) has been isolated from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a result of its hybridization to a chick vinculin cDNA probe. The deduced protein sequence contains 24% proline residues present as proline-rich motifs throughout the verprolin sequence. Several of these motifs resemble recently identified sequences shown to bind Src homology 3 (SH3) domains in vitro. Replacement of the wild-type VRP1 allele with a mutant allele results in strains that grow slower than wild-type strains and are temperature sensitive. The vrp1 mutants are impaired in both cell shape and size and display aberrant chitin and actin localization. We propose that verprolin is involved in the maintenance of the yeast actin cytoskeleton, through interactions with other proteins, possibly containing SH3 domains.

    Notes: Summary We have completed the nucleotide sequence of the yeastMYO1 gene and deduced its amino acid sequence. The gene is 5553 bp long and contains no introns. Analysis of the sequence, as well as its comparison with other myosins, demonstrate that the yeast protein is a type II myosin heavy chain with characteristic head and tail regions. The latter domain contains six proline residues in two clusters of three, at approximately two thirds from the start of the gene.

    Notes: Summary Low concentrations of novobiocin are toxic to permeable yeast cells, but do not inhibit type II topoisomerase activity. Furthermore, the enzyme does not bind specifically to novobiocin-Sepharose. These observations are in agreement with genetical analyses. Mutations at a single locus that confer novobiocin resistance and temperature sensitivity exhibit a similar phenotype to cells treated with novobiocin, but are not topoisomerase II mutants.

    Notes: Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) strains sensitive to a variety drugs were used to select for novobiocin-resistant mutants that were simultaneously temperature-sensitive. The mutants remained as sensitive as the parent strains to a wide range of drugs other than novobiocin, and did not exhibit any suppression of suppressible auxotrophic markers. At the non-permissive temperature, the mutant cells arrested mainly as unbudded cells, and were instantly defective in DNA and RNA synthesis, but not protein synthesis. The cloned wild-type gene was identified as SUP45, which has been previously implicated in the translation process. Our results suggest that SUP45 may have a function in addition to, or different from, the one that has been assigned to it previously.
