The rna2 mutation of yeast affects the processing of actin mRNA as well as ribosomal protein mRNAs. 1983

J L Teem, and J R Rodriguez, and L Tung, and M Rosbash

The temperature sensitive rna2 mutation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae causes a rapid and dramatic decrease in the abundance of most ribosomal protein mRNAs We and others have recently shown that the processing of ribosomal protein mRNAs is defective at the nonpermissive temperature, suggesting that inefficient mRNA processing might be responsible for the decline in ribosomal protein mRNA levels. Actin is the only known intron-containing non-ribosomal protein yeast nuclear gene We show here that the processing of actin mRNA is also defective at the nonpermissive temperature in rna2-containing strains. The observation supports the notion that all intron-containing genes are affected in a similar fashion by the rna2 mutation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009154 Mutation Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations. Mutations
D005800 Genes, Fungal The functional hereditary units of FUNGI. Fungal Genes,Fungal Gene,Gene, Fungal
D000199 Actins Filamentous proteins that are the main constituent of the thin filaments of muscle fibers. The filaments (known also as filamentous or F-actin) can be dissociated into their globular subunits; each subunit is composed of a single polypeptide 375 amino acids long. This is known as globular or G-actin. In conjunction with MYOSINS, actin is responsible for the contraction and relaxation of muscle.

D012269 Ribosomal Proteins Proteins found in ribosomes. They are believed to have a catalytic function in reconstituting biologically active ribosomal subunits. Proteins, Ribosomal,Ribosomal Protein,Protein, Ribosomal
D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
