NonStd Res: MSE Gene: CDC31 (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), SFI1 (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, RCSB, PDBsum Function [CDC31_YEAST] Functions as a component of the nuclear pore complex (NPC) and the spindle pole body (SPB) half-bridge. At the SPB, it is recruited by KAR1 and MPS3 to the SPB half-bridge and involved in the initial steps of SPB duplication. It probably plays a similar role in de novo assembly of NPCs at the nuclear envelope. Also involved in connection with the protein kinase KIC1 in the maintenance of cell morphology and integrity.

Publication Abstract from PubMed Centrins are calmodulin-like proteins present in centrosomes and yeast spindle pole bodies (SPBs) and have essential functions in their duplication. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae centrin, Cdc31p, binds Sfi1p on multiple conserved repeats; both proteins localize to the SPB half-bridge, where the new SPB is assembled. The crystal structures of Sfi1p-centrin complexes containing several repeats show Sfi1p as an alpha helix with centrins wrapped around each repeat and similar centrin-centrin contacts between each repeat. Electron microscopy (EM) shadowing of an Sfi1p-centrin complex with 15 Sfi1 repeats and 15 centrins bound showed filaments 60 nm long, compatible with all the Sfi1 repeats as a continuous alpha helix. Immuno-EM localization of the Sfi1p N and C termini showed Sfi1p-centrin filaments spanning the length of the half-bridge with the Sfi1p N terminus at the SPB. This suggests a model for SPB duplication where the half-bridge doubles in length by association of the Sfi1p C termini, thereby providing a new Sfi1p N terminus to initiate SPB assembly.
