摘要

An essential gene, designated HKE1/RAT1, has been isolated from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and characterized. The gene encodes a protein of 116 kDa (p116) and has significant homology to another yeast gene (XRN1/KEM1) encoding a related protein (p175) with 5'-->3' exonuclease activity as well as activities involving chromosomal DNA pairing and mechanics. Preliminary analysis of an hke1ts mutant reveals a precipitous decline in the translation of mRNA at the nonpermissive temperature. Sporulation of heterozygous HKE1/hke1::URA3 diploids reveals that this gene, unlike the highly related XRN1/KEM1 gene, is essential for cell viability. Overexpression of the homologous gene product, p175, failed to rescue cells lacking a functional p116. In vitro studies demonstrate that p116 is a protein with 5'-->3' exoribonuclease activity, a major activity of the related p175. An immunoreactive RNase activity of 116 kDa is abolished with antiserum against p116. Both the level of this protein and the RNase activity correlate with HKE1 gene dosage. The RNase activity purifies coincidentally with a previously described 116-kDa RNase having 5'-->3' exoribonuclease activity.
