Abstract
Centrins are calmodulin-like proteins that function in the duplication of microtubule-organizing centres. Here we describe a new function of the yeast centrin Cdc31. We show that overproduction of a sequence, termed CID, in the carboxy-terminal domain of the nuclear export factor Sac3 titrates Cdc31, causing a dominant-lethal phenotype and a block in spindle pole body (SPB) duplication. Under normal conditions, the CID motif recruits Cdc31 and Sus1 (a subunit of the SAGA transcription complex) to the Sac3–Thp1 complex, which functions in mRNA export together with specific nucleoporins at the nuclear basket. A previously reported cdc31 temperature-sensitive allele, which is neither defective in SPB duplication nor Kic1 kinase activation, induces mRNA export defects. Thus, Cdc31 has an unexpected link to the mRNA export machinery.Keywords
