Circular chromosomes have frequently been observed in tumors of mesenchymal origin. In the fission yeastSchizosaccharomyces pombe, deletion ofpot1+results in rapid telomere loss, and the resulting survivors have circular chromosomes. Fission yeast has 2 bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET) proteins, Bdf1 and Bdf2; both are required for maintaining acetylated histones. Here, we found thatbdf2, but notbdf1, was synthetically lethal withpot1. We also obtained a temperature-sensitivebdf2-tsmutant, which can grow at high temperatures but becomes camptothecin sensitive. This suggests that Bdf2 is defective at high temperatures. The cell cycle ofthe pot1 bdf2-tsmutant was delayed in the G2 and/or M phase at a semipermissive temperature. Furthermore, a temperature-sensitive mutant ofmst1, which encodes histone acetyltransferase, showed a synthetic growth defect with apot1disruptant at a semipermissive temperature. Our results suggest that Bdf2 and Mst1 are required for the growth of cells with circular chromosomes.
