The RNA-binding properties of the cell-to-cell movement protein (MP) of Apple chlorotic leaf spot virus were analysed. MP was expressed in Escherichia coli and was used in UV-crosslinking analysis, using a digoxigenin–UTP-labelled RNA probe and gel-retardation analysis. The analyses demonstrated that MP bound cooperatively to single-stranded RNA (ssRNA). When analysed for NaCl dependence of the RNA-binding activity, the majority of the MP could bind ssRNA even in binding buffer with 1 M NaCl. Furthermore, competition binding experiments showed that the MP bound preferentially to ssRNA and single-stranded DNA without sequence specificity. MP deletion mutants were used to identify the RNA-binding domain by UV-crosslinking analysis. Amino acid residues 82–126 and 127–287 potentially contain two independently active, single-stranded nucleic acid-binding domains.

Abstract WHI3 is a gene affecting size control and cell cycle in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The whi3 mutant has small cells, while extra doses of WHI3 produce large cells, and a large excess of WHI3 produces a lethal arrest in G1 phase. WHI3 seems to be a dose-dependent inhibitor of Start. Whi3 and its partially redundant homolog Whi4 have an RNA-binding domain, and mutagenesis experiments indicate that this RNA-binding domain is essential for Whi3 function. CLN3-1 whi3 cells are extremely small, nearly sterile, and largely nonresponsive to mating factor. Fertility is restored by deletion of CLN2, suggesting that whi3 cells may have abnormally high levels of CLN2 function.
