Rapid regulation of protein activity in fission yeast
Background The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe is widely-used as a model organism for the study of a broad range of eukaryotic cellular processes such as cell cycle, genome stability and cell morphology.

Regulation of polarised growth in fungi [PDF]
Polarised growth in fungi occurs through the delivery of secretory vesicles along tracks formed by cytoskeletal elements to specific sites on the cell surface where they dock with a multiprotein structure called the exocyst before fusing with the ...

Cost‐Effective Solid‐State NMR Of Fungal Glucans: A Case Study On Schizosaccharomyces pombe
A cost‐effective solid‐state NMR strategy enables replication and semi‐quantitative assessment of inherent variation of the fungal cell wall. Whole cell and cell wall extractions yield subtly different compositional differences, revealing molecular adaptations invisible to microscopy.

Bayesian meta-analysis for identifying periodically expressed genes in fission yeast cell cycle
The effort to identify genes with periodic expression during the cell cycle from genome-wide microarray time series data has been ongoing for a decade. However, the lack of rigorous modeling of periodic expression as well as the lack of a comprehensive ...

ABSTRACT Arp2/3 complex is a seven‐component protein complex that facilitates the assembly of branched actin filament networks by binding to pre‐existing “mother” actin filaments and initiating the nucleation of new branched “daughter” filaments. Arp2/3 complex must be activated by a nucleation promoting factor such as the WASP/Scar protein family. The

Fission yeast: in shape to divide
How are cell morphogenesis and cell cycle coordinated? The fission yeast is a rod-shaped unicellular organism widely used to study how a cell self-organizes in space and time. Here, we discuss recent advances in understanding how the cell acquires and maintains its regular rod shape and uses it to control cell division.

Conservation of the COP9/signalosome in budding yeast
Background The COP9/signalosome (CSN), a multiprotein complex consisting of eight subunits, is implicated in a wide variety of regulatory processes including cell cycle control, signal transduction, transcriptional activation, and plant ...

Functional conservation of coenzyme Q biosynthetic genes among yeasts, plants, and humans. [PDF]
Coenzyme Q (CoQ) is an essential factor for aerobic growth and oxidative phosphorylation in the electron transport system. The biosynthetic pathway for CoQ has been proposed mainly from biochemical and genetic analyses of Escherichia coli and ...

New Scaling Relation for Information Transfer in Biological Networks
Living systems are often described utilizing informational analogies. An important open question is whether information is merely a useful conceptual metaphor, or intrinsic to the operation of biological systems.
