    Description: The adult Caenorhabditis elegans hermaphrodite gonad consists of two mirror-symmetric U-shaped arms, with germline nuclei located peripherally in the distal regions of each arm. The nuclei are housed within membrane cubicles that are open to the center, forming a syncytium with a shared cytoplasmic core called the rachis. As the distal germline nuclei progress through meiotic prophase, they move proximally and eventually cellularize as their compartments grow in size. The development and maintenance of this complex and dynamic germline membrane architecture are relatively unexplored, and we have used a forward genetic screen to identify 20 temperature-sensitive mutations in 19 essential genes that cause defects in the germline membrane architecture. Using a combined genome-wide SNP mapping and whole genome sequencing strategy, we have identified the causal mutations in 10 of these mutants. Four of the genes we have identified are conserved, with orthologs known to be involved in membrane biology, and are required for proper development or maintenance of the adult germline membrane architecture. This work provides a starting point for further investigation of the mechanisms that control the dynamics of syncytial membrane architecture during adult oogenesis.

    Description: Mutants in the gene CDC34 of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae are defective in the transition from G1 to the S phase of the cell cycle. This gene was cloned and shown to encode a 295-residue protein that has substantial sequence similarity to the product of the yeast RAD6 gene. The RAD6 gene is required for a variety of cellular functions including DNA repair and was recently shown to encode a ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme. When produced in Escherichia coli, the CDC34 gene product catalyzed the covalent attachment of ubiquitin to histones H2A and H2B in vitro, demonstrating that the CDC34 protein is another distinct member of the family of ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes. The cell cycle function of CDC34 is thus likely to be mediated by the ubiquitin-conjugating activity of its product.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Goebl, M G -- Yochem, J -- Jentsch, S -- McGrath, J P -- Varshavsky, A -- Byers, B -- GM18541/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM31530/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Sep 9;241(4871):1331-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Genetics, University of Washington, Seattle 98195.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2842867" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Notes: Summary We have previously shown that a mutation (groPC259) in the E. coli dnaJ gene renders the cell inviable at high temperatures and arrests bacteriophage λ DNA replication at all temperatures (Sunshine et al., 1977). We have isolated λdnaJ ++ transducing phages both by in vitro cloning and by abnormal excision of a λdnaK transducing phage integrated near the dnaJ locus. The dnaJ gene product has been identified on SDS polacrylamide gels after infection of UV-irradiated E. coli cells by λdnaJ ++ derivative phages. It is a polypeptide chain with an apparent molecular weight of 37,000-daltons. This has been verified by the fact that a transducing phage carrying an amber mutation in the dnaJ gene fails to induce the synthesis of the 37,000-dalton polypeptide chain upon infection of sup ++ bacteria, but does so upon infection of supF or supD bacteria.

    Notes: Summary The E. coli dnaK (groPC756) gene product is essential for bacteriophage λ DNA replication. Bacterial DNA segments carrying this gene have been cloned onto a bacteriophage λ vector. The product of the dnaK gene has been identified on SDS polyacrylamide gels after infection of UV-irradiated E. coli cells. The dnaK gene codes for a polypeptide with an apparent molecular weight of 93,000-Mr. Transducing phages carrying amber mutations in the dnaK gene fail to induce the synthesis of the 93,000-Mr polypeptide chain upon infection of sup + bacteria, but do so upon infection of supF bacteria. E. coli carrying the dnaK756 mutation are, in addition, temperature sensitive for growth at 43° C. It is shown that the dnaK756 mutation results in an overproduction of the dnaK gene product at that temperature.

    Notes: Summary We show that a collection of 93 E. coli mutations which map between thr and leu and which block phage lambda DNA replication define two closely linked cistrons. Work published in the accompanying paper shows that these mutations also affect host DNA replication, so we designate them dnaJ and dnaK; the gene order is thr-dnaK-dnaJ-leu. Demonstration of two cistrons was possible with the isolation of lambda transducing phages carrying one or the other or both of the dna genes. These phages were employed in phage vs bacterial complementation studies which unambiguously show that dnaK and dnaJ are different cistrons.

    Notes: Summary The isolation of a bacterial mutation in a gene, designated groPC, which affects the growth of phages lambda and P2 is described. Lambda replication is severely limited in the strain, and some lambda π mutations, which map in (or near) the P gene, allow growth. The gro mutation, groPC259, is recessive to wild type and maps between threonine (thr) and diaminopimelate (dapB) on the E. coli chromosome. The possibility that the groPC gene is concerned with host DNA replication is discussed.
