Abstract

Abstract The cAMP-dependent protein kinase Pka1 is known as a regulator of glycogenesis, transition into meiosis, proper chromosome segregation, and stress responses in Schizosaccharomyces pombe. We demonstrated that both the cAMP/PKA pathway and glucose limitation play roles in appropriate spindle formation. Overexpression of Mal3 (1–308), an EB1 family protein, caused growth defects, increased 4C DNA content, and induced monopolar spindle formation. Overproduction of a high-affinity microtubule binding mutant (Q89R) and a recombinant protein possessing the CH and EB1 domains (1–241) both resulted in more severe phenotypes than Mal3 (1–308). Loss of functional Pka1 and glucose limitation rescued the phenotypes of Mal3-overexpressing cells, whereas deletion of Tor1 or Ssp2 did not. Growth defects and monopolar spindle formation in a kinesin-5 mutant, cut7-446, was partially rescued by pka1 deletion or glucose limitation. These findings suggest that Pka1 and glucose limitation regulate proper spindle formation in Mal3-overexpressing cells and the cut7-446 mutant.
