We have cloned the Schizosaccharomyces pombe rad3 gene which is involved in G2 arrest following DNA damage, and in the dependence of mitosis on the completion of DNA replication. The gene was cloned by complementation of the sensitivity to UV light and gamma rays of the rad3-136 mutant with an Sz. pombe genomic library. Sublocalization of the complementing activity and sequencing of the clone identified an intronless 3210-bp open reading frame capable of encoding a 1070-amino acid protein with an M(r) of 121974. The rad3 gene is a new gene with no homologs in existing sequence databases. The gene is poorly expressed, with a codon bias index of -0.01. A disruption mutant affecting the coding region was only slightly more sensitive to UV light than the original rad3-136 mutant. The rad3 gene was mapped to NotI fragment C on chromosome II.
