RCC1, a conserved chromosomal protein with a seven-bladed propeller is a GDP/GTP nucleotide exchange factor for RanGTPase that mediates various cellular events. We isolated 16 temperature-sensitive (ts) mutants of S. pombeRCC1-homolog, pim1(+), by...

Licensing of chromatin for replication is an evolutionarily conserved step in the control of cell division and genomic integrity. Proteins that participate in licensing have been recently documented to denote the proliferative state of cells and t...

We isolated 11 independent temperature-sensitive (ts) mutants of Schizosaccharomyces pombe RanGAP, SpRna1 that have several amino acid changes in the conserved domains of RanGAP. Resulting Sprna1(ts) showed a strong defect in mitotic chromosome se...

Replication licensing ensures once per cell cycle replication and is essential for genome stability. Overexpression of two key licensing factors, Cdc6 and Cdt1, leads to overreplication and chromosomal instability (CIN) in lower eukaryotes and rec...

The DNA replication licensing system ensures that chromosomal DNA is replicated precisely once before cell division occurs. A DNA helicase must be loaded on origin DNA for replication to initiate. Considerable evidence suggests that the MCM comple...
