Gene:
RIO kinase 3 (yeast)
Gene ID:
197301
Symbol:
RIOK3
Species:
1000
Description:
This gene was identified by the similarity of its product to the Aspergillus nidulans SUDD protein, an extragenic suppressor of the heat-sensitive bimD6 mutation that fails to attach properly to the spindle microtubules at a restrictive temperature. The specific function of this gene has not yet been determined. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene encoding distinct isoforms have been reported.
