Abstract

These studies were carried out to understand the mechanisms of genes which are related in cell cycle progression at G1/S phase. Mutants involved in cell cycle progression and regulation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae were isolated and characterized. To isolate new mutants, we screened the sensitivity to ciclopirox olamine (CPO) which inhibits the cell cycle traverse at or very near the G1/S phase boundary in HeLa cell and budding yeast. As results, we isolated 30 mutants and named cos(ciclopirox olamine sensitivity: cos27∼cos57) mutants. To determine the phenotype of mutants, we examined the sensitivity to methyl-methane sulfonate (MMS) and hydroxyurea (HU). Several mutants were sensitive to MMS and HU. According to these Phenotypes, cos mutants were grouped into four. Group I mutants are cos27, cos28, cos32, cos33, cos36, cos37, cos40, cos42, cos46, cos50, cos52 and cos53 which show MMS, HU sensitivities and might act at a checkpoint pathway during S phase. Group II mutants are cos43 and cos48 which show MMS sensitivities and might act at a checkpoint pathway during Gl or G2 phase. Group III mutants are cos35, cos47, cos54, cos55 and cos56 which show HU sensitivities and might act at a progress pathway during S phase. Finally, Group IV mutants are cos29, cos30, cos31, cos34, cos38, cos39, cos41, cos44, cos45, cos49, cos51 and cos57 which show only CPO sensitivities. Moreover, we examined the terminal phenotype of mutants under fluorescent microscope and then found one of S phase checkpoint related mutant(cos37). Furthermore, we constructed the heterozygote strain between mutant and wild type haploid strains to study their genetic analysis of cos mutants.

본 연구에서는 세포주기의 Gl/S기에 관련된 유전자의 작용기작을 이해하기 위하여 출아효모인 Saccharomyces cerevisiae를 사용하여 세포주기 진행 및 조절에 관련된 변이주를 분 리하여 특성화하는 연구를 수행하였다. 먼저 새로운 변이주를 분리하기 위해서 HeLa 세포와 출아효모에서 Gl을 유발하는 CPO(ciclopirox olamine) 약제에 대해 감수성을 보이는 변이주를 선별하였다. 그 결과, 총 31개의 CPO에 대한 감수성 변이주들이 분리되었고, ciclopirox olamine sensitivity의 첫 글자를 따서 con mutants라 명명하였다. cos 변이주들의 표현형의 특성을 결정하기 위해 MMS(methylmethane sulfonate)와 HU(hydrsxyurea)에 대한 감수성을 조사하여 그 성질에 따라 4개의 group으로 나누었다. Group I에는 cos27, cos28, cos32, cos33, cos36, cos37, cos40, cos42, cos46, cos50, cos52, cos53 변이주가 포함되고, 이들은 MMS와 HU 두 약제 모두에 대해서 감수성을 보여 S기 checkpoint에 관련된 것으로 보이고, Group II는 cos43, cos48 변이주로 MMS에 대해서 감수성을 지녀 G1기 또는 G2기 checkpoint에 관련된 것으로 추측된다. Group III 변이주에는 cos35, cos47, cos54, cos55, cos56이 포함되고 HU에 대해서 감수성을 보여 S기에 관련된다고 보여지며, Group IV 변이 주는 cos29, cos30, cos31, cos34, cos38, cos39, cos41, cos44, cos45, cos49, cos51, cos57로서 단지 CPO에 대해서만 감수성을 나타냈다. 더욱이 변이주의 최종표현형을 형광현미경을 이용하여 조사하여, S기 checkpoint에 관련된 것으로 보이는 cos37 변이주를 확인하였다. 또한, 변이주와 야생주의 이형접합체인 이배체를 만들어 변이주의 유전학적 분석을 수행하였다.
