Centrins are calmodulin-like proteins present in microtubule-organizing centers. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae centrin, Cdc31p, was functionally tagged with a single Z domain of protein A, and used in pull-down experiments to isolate Cdc31p-binding proteins. One of these, Sfi1p, localizes to the half-bridge of the spindle pole body (SPB), where Cdc31p is also localized. Temperature-sensitive mutants in SFI1 show a defect in SPB duplication and genetic interactions with cdc31-1. Sfi1p contains multiple internal repeats that are also present in a Schizosaccharomyces pombe protein, which also localizes to the SPB, and in several human proteins, one of which localizes close to the centriole region. Cdc31p binds directly to individual Sfi1 repeats in a 1:1 ratio, so a single molecule of Sfi1p binds multiple molecules of Cdc31p. The centrosomal human protein containing Sfi1 repeats also binds centrin in the repeat region, showing that this centrin-binding motif is conserved.
Key Words: SPB; duplication; Sfi1p; Cdc31p; centrin
Abbreviations used in this paper: prA, protein A; SPB, spindle pole body; ZCdc31p, Cdc31p containing a single Z domain of protein A at the NH2 terminus.
