Identification of a small RhoA GTPase inhibitor effective in fission yeast and human cells
Open Biology, 2023 The Rho GTPase family proteins are key regulators of cytoskeletal dynamics. Deregulated activity of Rho GTPases is associated with cancers and neurodegenerative diseases, and their potential as drug targets has long been recognized. Using an economically

eLife, 2021 Mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (TORC1) is controlled by the GATOR complex composed of the GATOR1 subcomplex and its inhibitor, the GATOR2 subcomplex, sensitive to amino acid starvation.

Splitting of the fission yeast septum [PDF]
FEMS Yeast Research, 2007 In cell-walled organisms, a cross wall (septum) is produced during cytokinesis, which then splits in certain organisms to allow the daughter cells to separate. The formation and the subsequent cleavage of the septum require wall synthesis and wall degradation, which need to be strictly coordinated in order to prevent cell lysis.

DNA checkpoints in fission yeast [PDF]
Journal of Cell Science, 2003 The DNA integrity checkpoints ensure completion of DNA replication and DNA repair before entry into mitosis ([O'Connell et al., 2000][1]). Unreplicated DNA or unrepaired DNA will cause catastrophic chromosome segregation.

Identification of twenty-three mutations in fission yeast Scap that constitutively activate SREBP*
Journal of Lipid Research, 2008 The endoplasmic reticulum membrane protein SREBP cleavage-activating protein (Scap) senses sterols and regulates activation of sterol-regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs), membrane-bound transcription factors that control lipid homeostasis in ...

The Multiple Functions of Rho GTPases in Fission Yeasts
Cells, 2021 The Rho family of GTPases represents highly conserved molecular switches involved in a plethora of physiological processes. Fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe has become a fundamental model organism to study the functions of Rho GTPases over the ...

Cellular geometry scaling ensures robust division site positioning
Nature Communications, 2019 Cells divide within a given size range and can scale across differing cell sizes but mechanisms and function remain unclear. Here the authors show, despite the current dogma of fission yeast maintaining constant width, some fission yeast can scale their ...

Optimization of a microarray for fission yeast [PDF]
Genomics & Informatics, 2019 Bar-code (tag) microarrays of yeast gene-deletion collections facilitate the systematic identification of genes required for growth in any condition of interest. Anti-sense strands of amplified bar-codes hybridize with ~10,000 (5,000 each for up- and down-tags) different kinds of sense-strand probes on an array.

PLoS Genetics, 2009 DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are formed during meiosis by the action of the topoisomerase-like Spo11/Rec12 protein, which remains covalently bound to the 5' ends of the broken DNA. Spo11/Rec12 removal is required for resection and initiation of strand
