In Parkinson's disease (PD), misfolded and aggregated α-synuclein protein accumulates in degenerating midbrain dopaminergic neurons. The amino acid alanine-76 in α-synuclein and phosphorylation at serine-87 and serine-129 are thought to regulate its ...

Conserved proteins drive clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME), which from yeast to humans involves a burst of actin assembly. To gain mechanistic insights into this process, we performed a side-by-side quantitative comparison of CME in two distantly ...

Eic1 links Mis18 with the CCAN/Mis6/Ctf19 complex to promote CENP-A assembly [PDF]
CENP-A chromatin forms the foundation for kinetochore assembly. Replication-independent incorporation of CENP-A at centromeres depends on its chaperone HJURPScm3, and Mis18 in vertebrates and fission yeast.

The WD40 protein Caf4p is a component of the mitochondrial fission machinery and recruits Dnm1p to mitochondria [PDF]
The mitochondrial division machinery regulates mitochondrial dynamics and consists of Fis1p, Mdv1p, and Dnm1p. Mitochondrial division relies on the recruitment of the dynamin-related protein Dnm1p to mitochondria.

DNA checkpoints in fission yeast [PDF]
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.

How to halve ploidy : lessons from budding yeast meiosis [PDF]
Maintenance of ploidy in sexually reproducing organisms requires a specialized form of cell division called meiosis that generates genetically diverse haploid gametes from diploid germ cells.

A Cloning-Free Method for CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated Genome Editing in Fission Yeast
The CRISPR/Cas9 system, which relies on RNA‐guided DNA cleavage to induce site-specific DNA double-strand breaks, is a powerful tool for genome editing.

Rad62 protein functionally and physically associates with the Smc5/Smc6 protein complex and is required for chromosome integrity and recombination repair in fission yeast [PDF]
Smc5 and Smc6 proteins form a heterodimeric SMC (structural maintenance of chromosome) protein complex like SMC1-SMC3 cohesin and SMC2-SMC4 condensin, and they associate with non-SMC proteins Nse1 and Nse2 stably and Rad60 transiently.
