Here we report that the Schizosaccharomyces pombe Rad9 (SpRad9) protein contains a group of amino acids with similarity to the Bcl-2 homology 3 death domain, which is required for SpRad9 interaction with human Bcl-2 and apoptosis induction in human cells. Overexpression of Bcl-2 in S. pombe inhibits cell growth independently of rad9, but enhances resistance of rad9-null cells to methyl methanesulfonate, ultraviolet and ionizing radiation. These observations suggest that SpRad9 may represent the first member of the Bcl-2 protein family identified in yeast, though the cell death pathways in S. pombe may differ from those found in mammals.
