A mutation in budding yeast BRR6 affecting nuclear envelope insertion of the spindle pole body
BRR6 and BRL1 are two paralogs that encode transmembrane proteins of the nuclear envelope (NE) involved in membrane fluidity and nuclear pore complex biogenesis in organisms that undergo a closed mitosis. We show that mutation of a conserved cysteine in the intralumenal domain of Saccharomyces cerev...

Sumario: | BRR6 and BRL1 are two paralogs that encode transmembrane proteins of the nuclear envelope (NE) involved in membrane fluidity and nuclear pore complex biogenesis in organisms that undergo a closed mitosis. We show that mutation of a conserved cysteine in the intralumenal domain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Brr6p results in a novel temperature sensitive allele, brr6-Y100H, that arrests growth due to defects in spindle formation. Analysis of brr6-Y100H cells by electron tomography and Brr6p localization by super-resolution imaging supports the idea that Brr6p is involved in insertion of the newly duplicated spindle pole body into the NE. |
