We define a new gene, SRD1, involved in the processing of pre-rRNA to mature rRNA. The SRD1 gene was identified by selecting for second-site suppressors of the previously described rrp1-1 mutation. The rrp1-1 mutation causes temperature-sensitive growth, a conditional defect in processing of 27S pre-rRNA to mature 25S rRNA, and a nonconditional increase in sensitivity to several aminoglycoside antibiotics. All srd1 alleles identified are recessive and apparently specific to the rrp1-1 mutation. Although a mutation of SRD1 suppresses the pre-rRNA processing defect, drug sensitivity and thermolethality of a point mutation of RRP1, it is unable to suppress a rrp1-disruption allele. We suggest that the SRD1 gene product either interacts with or regulates the RRP1 product.
我们定义了一个新基因SRD1,它参与前体核糖体RNA(pre-rRNA)加工成成熟核糖体RNA(rRNA)的过程。通过筛选先前描述的rrp1-1突变的第二位点抑制子,鉴定出了SRD1基因。rrp1-1突变导致温度敏感型生长、27S前体rRNA加工成成熟25S rRNA的条件性缺陷,以及对几种氨基糖苷类抗生素的敏感性无条件增加。鉴定出的所有srd1等位基因都是隐性的,且显然对rrp1-1突变具有特异性。虽然SRD1的突变抑制了RRP1点突变的前体rRNA加工缺陷、药物敏感性和热致死性,但它无法抑制rrp1破坏等位基因。我们认为SRD1基因产物要么与RRP1产物相互作用,要么对其进行调控。
