DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Eukaryotic cells duplicate their chromosomes during S-phase, and segregate the chromosomes into two daughter cells during mitosis. Errors in the chromosome segregation could lead to gain or loss of chromosome. This is a cause of chromosome instability which is a hallmark of tumorigenesis. Our long-term goal is to understand the molecular mechanism of accurate chromosome segregation in S. cerevisiae. Orc6p controls DNA replication from yeast to humans. Recently it has been proposed that Orc proteins might also have mitotic functions besides its well characterized function in DNA replication. Human Orc6p is localized to kinetochore, and has been implicated in the control of chromosome segregation. However it is not clear how Orc6p controls mitosis. I hypothesize that Orc6p has a mitotic function in S. cerevisiae. To study the mitotic function of Orc6p in S. cerevisiae; (1) a conditional mutant of orc6 will be isolated and characterized. (2) Protein localization will be analyzed to see if Orc6p is localized kinetochore during mitosis. (3) A suppressor gene screening using the orc6 conditional mutant will be conducted to reveal the specific genetic interactions between ORC6 and mitotic genes. Successful isolation of orc6 mutant which is defective only during mitosis will help us to study the mitotic function of Orc6p. Kinetochore localization of Orc6p will ensure that Orc6p has a role in chromosome segregation. Suppressor gene screening will help us to understand the molecular mechanism of Orc6 function. Orc6p is conserved from yeast to humans. The results obtained from this study can be applied to understand the molecular function of Orc6p in higher eukaryotes. The accurate chromosome segregation is a critical step during mitosis to avoid chromosome instability. It is important to study the mechanism of chromosome segregation in eukaryotes to understand the molecular mechanism of tumorigenesis.

描述（由申请方提供）：真核细胞在S期复制其染色体，并在有丝分裂期间将染色体分离成两个子细胞。染色体分离的错误会导致染色体的获得或丢失。这是染色体不稳定的原因，而染色体不稳定是肿瘤发生的标志。我们的长期目标是了解S染色体精确分离的分子机制。啤酒。Orc 6p控制着从酵母到人类的DNA复制。最近有人提出，Orc蛋白除了在DNA复制中的功能外，还可能具有有丝分裂功能。人Orc 6p定位于动粒，并参与染色体分离的控制。然而，目前尚不清楚Orc 6p如何控制有丝分裂。我推测Orc 6p在S.啤酒。研究Orc 6p在S.酿酒酵母;（1）分离和表征ORC 6的条件突变体。(2)将分析蛋白质定位以查看Orc 6p在有丝分裂期间是否定位于动粒。(3)将使用orc 6条件突变体进行抑制基因筛选，以揭示orc 6和有丝分裂基因之间的特定遗传相互作用。orc 6突变体的成功分离将有助于我们研究orc 6p的有丝分裂功能。Orc 6p的动粒定位将确保Orc 6p在染色体分离中发挥作用。抑制基因的筛选将有助于我们了解Orc 6功能的分子机制。orc 6p是从酵母到人类的保守基因。本研究结果为深入了解Orc 6p在高等真核生物中的分子功能奠定了基础。染色体的准确分离是有丝分裂过程中避免染色体不稳定的关键步骤。研究真核生物染色体分离的机制对了解肿瘤发生的分子机制具有重要意义。
