    We report the analysis of two Saccharomyces cerevisiae cyclophilins, Cpr6 and Cpr7, identified by their ability to interact in vivo with the transcriptional regulator Rpd3. Both cyclophilins have an extended carboxy-terminal region containing a three-unit tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) motif and share significant amino acid identity with the mammalian cyclophilin CyP-40. Neither CPR6 nor CPR7 is essential but deletion of CPR7 results in a significant impairment of the rate of cell division. This is the first demonstration that a member of the cyclophilin family is required for normal cell growth.
