To bring about repression of a family fo genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae called the a-specific genes, two transcriptional regulatory proteins, alpha 2 and GRM (general regulator of matin type), bind cooperatively to an operator found upstream of each a-specific gene. To date, GRM has been defined only biochemically. In this communication we show that the product of a single yeast gene (MCM1) is sufficient to bind cooperatively with alpha 2 to the operator. We also show that antiserum raised against the MCM1 gene product recognizes GRM from yeast cells. These results, in combination with previous observations, provide strong evidence that MCM1 encodes the GRM activity.

The dynein regulatory complex (DRC) is an important intermediate in the pathway that regulates flagellar motility. To identify subunits of the DRC, we characterized a Chlamydomonas motility mutant obtained by insertional mutagenesis. The pf2-4 mutant displays an altered waveform that results in slow swimming cells. EM analysis reveals defects in DRC structure that can be rescued by reintroduction of the wild-type PF2 gene. Immunolocalization studies show that the PF2 protein is distributed along the length of the axoneme, where it is part of a discrete complex of polypeptides. PF2 is a coiled-coil protein that shares significant homology with a mammalian growth arrest–specific gene product (Gas11/Gas8) and a trypanosome protein known as trypanin. PF2 and its homologues appear to be universal components of motile axonemes that are required for DRC assembly and the regulation of flagellar motility. The expression of Gas8/Gas11 transcripts in a wide range of tissues may also indicate a potential role for PF2-related proteins in other microtubule-based structures.
