spo5 — Schizosaccharomyces pombe 972h-

Summary

SPBC29A10.02 (spo5) in Schizosaccharomyces pombe 972h- on chromosome 2 encodes the mrb1 protein, which contains an RNA recognition motif (RRM) domain and is annotated with poly(A), poly(U) and mRNA 3′-UTR binding activities. The gene is associated with multiple stages of meiosis, including meiosis I and II, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and second meiotic division, as well as prospore-specific spindle pole body remodeling, FSM assembly, ascospore formation, and nuclear membrane organization. It is also linked to posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression, sexual reproduction, nuclear division, and nuclear export. The product localizes to the cytoplasm, cytosol, and nucleus.
