    Notes: Abstract ThePLC1 gene of the yeastSaccharomyces cerevisiae has been discovered to encode a homolog of mammalian phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PLC). Five temperature-sensitiveplc1 mutants were isolated by in vitro mutagenesis with subsequent plasmid shuffling. All of the amino acid substitutions that caused a temperature-sensitive growth phenotype were located in the X or the Y region, both of which are conserved among PLC isoenzymes. The PLC activity of all products of mutantplc1 genes was dramatically lower than that of the wild-type product, indicating that PLC activity itself is important for cell growth. At the restrictive temperature,plc1 mutant cells ceased growth at random times during the cell cycle, a result that suggests thatPLC1 is required at several or all stages of the cell cycle.

    Notes: Exploiting the polymerase chain reaction, we have isolated a gene that encodes a putative phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PLC) of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Inspection of the nucleotide sequence of the gene revealed an open reading frame that can encode a polypeptide of 899 amino acid residues with a calculated molecular mass of 102 kDa. This putative polypeptide contains both the X and Y regions that are conserved among three classes of mammalian PLC, and also contains a presumptive Ca2+-binding site (an E-F hand motif). The structure of the putative protein is most similar to that of the δ class of PLC isozymes. To investigate the role of this gene, designated plc1+, gene disruption was carried out by interrupting the coding region with the ura4+ marker. Growth of plc1 cells was temperature-sensitive in rich medium, and cells could not grow in synthetic medium. Expression of the PLC1 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae suppressed the growth defect phenotype of plc1- cells, a strong suggestion that the plc1+ gene encodes PLC. The PLC1 sequence appears in the public data libraries, DDBJ GenBank, EMBL under the following Accession Number: D38309.
