Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2019 Mitochondria continually move, fuse and divide, and these dynamics are essential for the proper function of the organelles. Indeed, the dynamic balance of fusion and fission of mitochondria determines their morphology and allows their immediate ...

Identification of Fis1 Interactors in Toxoplasma gondii Reveals a Novel Protein Required for Peripheral Distribution of the Mitochondrion [PDF]
, 2020 Toxoplasma gondii’s single mitochondrion is very dynamic and undergoes morphological changes throughout the parasite’s life cycle. During parasite division, the mitochondrion elongates, enters the daughter cells just prior to cytokinesis, and undergoes ...

Quantification of Mitochondrial Dynamics in Fission Yeast
Bio-Protocol, 2019 Mitochondria are double-membraned organelles responsible for several functions in the cell including energy production, calcium signaling, and cellular metabolism.

Indistinguishable landscapes of meiotic DNA breaks in rad50+ and rad50S strains of fission yeast revealed by a novel rad50+ recombination intermediate. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2008 The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe Rec12 protein, the homolog of Spo11 in other organisms, initiates meiotic recombination by creating DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) and becoming covalently linked to the DNA ends of the break.

Regulation of the SUV39H Family Methyltransferases: Insights from Fission Yeast
Biomolecules, 2023 Histones, which make up nucleosomes, undergo various post-translational modifications, such as acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation, and ubiquitylation. In particular, histone methylation serves different cellular functions depending on the location

Role of the Schizosaccharomyces pombe F-box DNA helicase in processing recombination intermediates. [PDF]
, 2005 In an effort to identify novel genes involved in recombination repair, we isolated fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe mutants sensitive to methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) and a synthetic lethal with rad2.

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Cells have an intrinsic ability to rapidly respond to environmental change to regulate cell cycle progression and membrane organisation, thereby affecting cell growth and division. The actin cytoskeleton is a highly dynamic complex of proteins that can rapidly reorganise to change the growth pattern of a cell.

Mechanical Coupling With the Nuclear Envelope Shapes the Schizosaccharomyces pombe Mitotic Spindle
Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe divides via closed mitosis, meaning that spindle elongation and chromosome segregation transpire entirely within the closed nuclear envelope. Both the spindle and nuclear envelope must undergo shape changes and exert varying forces on each other during this process.
