Targeted amino-terminal acetylation of recombinant proteins in E. coli. [PDF]
One major limitation in the expression of eukaryotic proteins in bacteria is an inability to post-translationally modify the expressed protein. Amino-terminal acetylation is one such modification that can be essential for protein function.

Understanding the molecular mechanisms of human diseases: the benefits of fission yeasts
The role of model organisms such as yeasts in life science research is crucial. Although the baker’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is the most popular model among yeasts, the contribution of the fission yeasts (Schizosaccharomyces) to life science is ...

Schizosaccharomyces japonicus: the fission yeast is a fusion of yeast and hyphae
The clade of Schizosaccharomyces includes 4 species: S. pombe, S. octosporus, S. cryophilus, and S. japonicus. Although all 4 species exhibit unicellular growth with a binary fission mode of cell division, S. japonicus alone is dimorphic yeast, which can

The ageing holobiont: crosstalk between telomere dynamics, oxidative stress and the gut microbiome
ABSTRACT The gut tissue is at the frontline of early onset of ageing. It exhibits high cell turnover rates and rapid telomere shortening, which can have systemic effects on the developing or senescing organism. We conducted a literature review of studies on the crosstalk between telomere length dynamics, telomerase activity, oxidative stress, and gut ...

The A78V mutation in the Mad3-like domain of Schizosaccharomyces pombe Bub1p perturbs nuclear accumulation and kinetochore targeting of Bub1p, Bub3p, and Mad3p and spindle assembly checkpoint function [PDF]
During mitosis, the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) responds to faulty attachments between kinetochores and the mitotic spindle by imposing a metaphase arrest until the defect is corrected, thereby preventing chromosome missegregation. A genetic screen

Analysis of DNA Metabolism in Fission Yeast [PDF]
The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe is an excellent model organism to study DNA metabolism, in which the DNA replication and repair mechanisms are evolutionarily conserved. In this introduction we describe a range of methods commonly used to study aspects of DNA metabolism in fission yeast, focusing on approaches used for the analysis of genome

Implementation of the CRISPR-Cas9 system in fission yeast
Application of the CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing system in the model organism Schizosaccharomyces pombe has been hampered by the lack of constructs to express RNA of arbitrary sequence.

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.
