简介:MCM10蛋白质是涉及DNA的开始的一个必要复制因素。开始发育的酵母的mcm10异种(mcm10-1)在37度C显示出生长拘捕。在现在的工作,我们孤立mcm10-1压制或拉紧,它在37度C成长。有趣地,这mcm10-1压制或在14度C经历房间周期拘捕。新奇基因,YLR003c,被这的高拷贝的互补识别压制或。我们作为Cms1(看10Suppressor的互补)叫了它。而且,转变的实验证明mcm10-1的房间压制或在14度C与高拷贝的原生质标志然而并非低拷贝的原生质标志成长,在Cms1的表示上显示那能救这mcm10的生长拘捕压制或在非容许的温度。这些结果建议那CMS1蛋白质可以机能上地与MCM10蛋白质交往并且在DNA和房间周期控制的规定起一个作用。
