TheSaccharomyces cerevisiaseprotein phosphatase Fcp1 has been implicated in the regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II, and is encoded by the essential geneFCP1. A screen was carried out for multicopy suppressors of the temperature-sensitive phenotype of two phosphatase mutants,fcp1-2andfcp1-4. Only the wild-typeFCP1was found to suppress (complement) thefcp1-4mutation. Forfcp1-2three second-site suppressors were identified. One contained the ORF forZDS1. The remaining two suppressors mapped to the centromere regions of chromosomes I and V. Suppression due to centromere DNA was found to be more dependent on the CDEIII region than on other regions of the centromere. The presence of a suppressor centromere affected the level of Fcp1 protein and the overall phosphorylation state of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) infcp1-2cells, but not wild-type cells, grown at both permissive and non-permissive temperatures. In addition, genetic interactions were identified between thisFCP1mutant and the genesSKP1,CEP3andCBF1, which code for centromere binding proteins. The mechanism of suppression and regulation of Fcp1-2 protein activity by centromeric DNA is discussed.
