In the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, the cdc11 gene is required
for the initiation of septum formation at the end of mitosis. The sce3 gene
was cloned as a multi-copy suppressor of the heat- sensitive mutant
cdc11-136. When over-expressed, it rescues all mutants of cdc11 and also a
heat-sensitive allele of cdc14, but not the cdc14 null mutant. Deletion
shows that sce3 is not essential for cell proliferation. It encodes a
putative RNA-binding protein which shows homology to human eIF4B.
Immunolocalisation indicates that Sce3p is located predominantly in the
cytoplasm. Elevated expression of sce3 increases the steady-state level of
cdc14 mRNA. Possible mechanisms of its action are discussed.
