Karyopherin Msn5 is involved in a novel mechanism controlling the cellular level of cell cycle regulators Cln2 and Swi5
2019
ABSTRACT The yeast β-karyopherin Msn5 controls the SBF cell-cycle transcription factor, responsible for the periodic expression of CLN2 cyclin gene at G1/S, and the nuclear export of Cln2 protein. Here we show that Msn5 regulates Cln2 by an additional mechanism. Inactivation of Msn5 causes a severe reduction in the cellular content of Cln2. This occurs by a post-transcriptional mechanism, since CLN2 mRNA level is not importantly affected in asynchronous cultures. Cln2 stability is not significantly altered in msn5 cells and inactivation of Msn5 causes a reduction in protein level even when Cln2 is stabilized. Therefore, the reduced amount of Cln2 in msn5 cells is mainly due not to a higher …
Regulation of cell cycle transcription factor Swi5 by karyopherin Msn5
2012
AbstractInactivation of S. cerevisiae β-karyopherin Msn5 causes hypersensitivity to the overexpression of mitotic cyclin Clb2 and aggravates growth defects of many mutant strains in mitotic exit, suggesting a connection between Msn5 and mitotic exit. We determined that Msn5 controlled subcellular localization of the mitotic exit transcription factor Swi5, since it was required for Swi5 nuclear export. Msn5 physically interacted with the N-terminal end of Swi5. Inactivation of Msn5 caused a severe reduction in cellular levels of Swi5 protein. This effect occurred by a post-transcriptional mechanism, since SWI5 mRNA levels were not affected. The reduced amount of Swi5 in msn5 mutant cells was…
