 note = {A mammalian temperature-sensitive mutant tsAF8 shows cell cycle arrest at nonpermissive temperatures in mid-G1 phase. DNA sequence comparison of the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II (Rpb1) from the wild-type and the mutant shows that the mutant phenotype results from a (hemizygous) C-to-A variation at nucleotide 944 in one rpb1 allele, giving rise to an Ala-to-Asp substitution at residue 315 in the protein. This amino acid substitution was introduced into the Schizosaccharomyces pombe rpb1 gene. Whereas tsAF8 cells showed growth defects and altered Rpb1 distribution at nonpermissive temperatures, yeast cells harboring this amino acid substitution did not show apparent temperature sensitivity. The effect of another temperature-sensitive Rpb1 mutation was also small. These results suggest that mutation of the rpb1 gene, which is critical in mammalian cells, may not be deleterious in yeast cells.},
