To identify mutations in genes that are genetically linked to rsm1, we performed a synthetic lethal genetic screen in the fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Four mutations that showed synthetic lethality in combination with the rsm1null allele were isolated from approximately 320,000 colonies and defined in three complementation groups. One mutant (SLrsm1) exhibited a significant accumulation of poly(A)+ RNA in the nucleus under synthetic lethal conditions, while the rest had no mRNA export defects. In addition, some genes (spmex67, rae1, or mlo3) required for mRNA export complemented the growth defects of the identified mutants. These results suggest that the isolated mutants contain mutations in genes that are involved in mRNA export and/or pre-mRNA retention.
