Abstract

Kinesin has been discovered in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Aspergillus nidulans, and Drosophila melanogaster and it has major roles in the movemenl of chromosomes and separation of spindle poles. In this study, a gene encoding kinesin heavy chain in Schizosaccharo~n)~ces pombe was cloned by using the polymerase chain reaction with degenerated primcrs corresponding to highly conserved regions of the kinesin heavy chain motor domain. The kinesin gene in S pombe contains an open reading frame of 2496 base pairs and encodes a kinesin prolein of 832 amino acids with a molecular weight of 96 kd. From thc comparison of the predictcd amino acids of the newly cloned kinesin, the kinesin in S. pornbe belongs to the C-terminal motor subfamily of kincsin-related protein.

Kinesin은 Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Aspergillus nidulans, Drosophila melanogaster 등에서 발견 되었으며 dynein 과 더불어 세포분열 과정중 chromosome 의 이동과 spindle pole 의 분리에 관련된 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존에 발견된 kinesin 유사 유전자의 homology 가 많은 motor domain을 이용하여 primer를 합성한 후 이를 이용하여 Schizosaccharomyces pombe 로부터 kinesin heavy chain 의 유전자를 클론하였다. 염기서열을 결정한 결과 2496 bp의 해독틀을 가지고 있으며 832개의 아미노산으로 이루어진 분자량이 96 kd의 kinesin heavy chain을 암호화하는 것이 밝혀졌다. 기존에 밝혀진 다른 organism 의 kinesin 과 서열을 비교한 결과 새로이 클론된 S.pombe 의 kinesin 은 C-terminal motor subfamily 에 속함이 밝혀졌다.
