초록

Mouse T cells overexpressing the SRG3 protein displayed morphological changes; the cells were enlarged and their shapes were irregular compared to the normal parental cells. In addition, growth rate of the cells was dramatically reduced and their DNA contents were increased. The increased DNA contents were due to an increase in number of chromosomes in these cells. We have observed similar results in S. cerevisiae cells overex-pressing the yeast SWI3 protein. Yeast cells overexpressing SWI3 protein These results suggest that the SRG3/SWI3 protein plays an important role in cell growth and cell cycle progression.
