A DBL-homologous region of the yeast CLS4/CDC24 gene product is important for Ca(2+)-modulated bud assembly
Abstract
The CLS4/CDC24 is essential for the budding process of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Disruption of the CLS4/CDC24 gene is lethal, and expression of the CLS4 product under the control of the GAL1 promoter is sufficient for cellular growth. The CLS4 product is detected in yeast cell lysate with an apparent molecular mass of 93 kD (854 amino acid residues) and shows homology with the human DBL oncogene product. Temperature-sensitive cdc24-1 mutation is located in the N-terminal portion of the protein whereas Ca(2+)-sensitive cls4-1 mutation is present after the DBL-homologous region (amino acid residues 281-518) near the putative Ca(2+)-binding site. Mutations within the DBL-homologous region are responsible for the Ca(2+)-sensitive phenotype. Thus the CLS4 gene product seems to have several functional domains within the molecule essential for bud assembly.
