The extent of error-prone replication-restart by homologous recombination is controlled by Exo1 and checkpoint proteins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Genetic instability, a hallmark of cancer, can occur when the replication machinery encounters a barrier. The intra-S phase checkpoint maintains stalled replication forks in a replication-competent configuration by phosphorylating replisome components ...

Proteostasis of organelles in aging and disease

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Cells rely on regulated proteostasis mechanisms to keep their internal compartments functioning properly. When these mechanisms fail, damaged proteins accumulate, disrupting organelles, such as the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi, and lysosomes, as well as membraneless organelles, such as stress granules, processing bodies, the ...

Adding phosphorylation events to the core oscillator driving the cell cycle of fission yeast.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
Much is known about the regulatory elements controlling the cell cycle in fission yeast (Schizosaccharomyces pombe). This regulation is mainly done by the (cyclin-dependent kinase/cyclin) complex (Cdc2/Cdc13) that activates specific target genes and ...

A yeast-based screening assay identifies repurposed drugs that suppress mitochondrial fusion and mtDNA maintenance defects

open access: yesDisease 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 ...

Exploring Genetic Interactions with Telomere Protection Gene pot1 in Fission Yeast

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2023
The regulation of telomere length has a significant impact on cancer risk and aging in humans. Circular chromosomes are found in humans and are often unstable during mitosis, resulting in genome instability.

T-loop phosphorylation of Arabidopsis CDKA;1 is required for its function and can be partially substituted by an aspartate residue [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
As in other eukaryotes, progression through the cell cycle in plants is governed by cyclin-dependent kinases. Phosphorylation of a canonical Thr residue in the T-loop of the kinases is required for high enzyme activity in animals and yeast.

GCN2 in proteostasis: structural logic, signalling networks and disease

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Threats to protein synthesis activate the kinase GCN2, initiating the integrated stress response (ISR). GCN2 is triggered by stalled ribosomes and uncharged tRNAs, which accumulate when amino acids are scarce. The ISR adjusts cellular physiology by promoting redox balance, protein quality control, and mitochondrial optimisation.

Microscopy of Fission Yeast Sexual Lifecycle [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Visualized Experiments, 2016
The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe has been an invaluable model system in studying the regulation of the mitotic cell cycle progression, the mechanics of cell division and cell polarity. Furthermore, classical experiments on its sexual reproduction have yielded results pivotal to current understanding of DNA recombination and meiosis.

Quantification of Mitochondrial Dynamics in Fission Yeast

open access: yesBio-Protocol, 2019
Mitochondria are double-membraned organelles responsible for several functions in the cell including energy production, calcium signaling, and cellular metabolism.

In vitro reactivation of spindle elongation in fission yeast nuc2 mutant cells. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
To investigate the mechanisms of spindle elongation and chromosome separation in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, we have developed an in vitro assay using a temperature-sensitive mutant strain, nuc2.
