Engineering Strategies for Fungal Cell Disruption in Biotechnological Applications
ABSTRACT Fungal cell disruption plays a critical role in unlocking a wide range of high‐value intracellular products such as lipids, proteins, pigments, and bioactive compounds. However, lysing fungal cells is far more challenging than breaking bacterial or algal cells due to their robust and highly structured cell walls.

Tv-RIO1 – an atypical protein kinase from the parasitic nematode Trichostrongylus vitrinus [PDF]
Background: Protein kinases are key enzymes that regulate a wide range of cellular processes, including cell-cycle progression, transcription, DNA replication and metabolic functions. These enzymes catalyse the transfer of phosphates to serine, threonine

Dysbiosis and Therapeutic Modulation of the Gut Microbiota in Multiple Sclerosis: A Narrative Review
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a persistent autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system. The etiology of MS is complex, involving a variety of genetic and environmental factors. Mounting evidence suggests that dysbiosis significantly impacts the progression of MS mainly through its direct effects upon the immune ...

Holliday junction resolvase in Schizosaccharomyces pombe has identical endonuclease activity to the CCE1 homologue YDC2 [PDF]
A novel Holliday junction resolving activity has been identified in fractionated cell extracts of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe . The enzyme catalyses endonucleolytic cleavage of Holliday junction-containing chi DNA and synthetic four-way ...

Abstract Cellular aging is a multifaceted complex process. Many genes and factors have been identified that regulate cellular aging. However, how these genes and factors interact with one another and how these interactions drive the aging processes in single cells remain largely unclear.

Interspecies conservation of organisation and function between nonhomologous regional centromeres
Although the centromere-specific histone CENP-A usually assembles on specific genomic sequences, centromeric DNA is not conserved. Here the authors characterize the genome and centromeres of related fission yeasts and provide evidence that ...

Phosphorylation of the amino-terminus of the AGC kinase Gad8 prevents its interaction with TORC2 [PDF]
Cell proliferation, metabolism, migration and survival are coordinated through the tight control of two target of rapamycin (TOR) kinase complexes: TORC1 and TORC2.

From Yeast to Therapeutics: Modeling Neurodegenerative Diseases in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Yeast plasmids expressing human Aβ‐42, α‐syn, htt, and TDP‐43. Their fate includes an equilibrium between the endocytic pathway and aggregates that potentially disrupt endocytosis, vesicular transport, vacuolar autophagy, and mitochondrial activity. ABSTRACT Here, we review the use of Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a powerful model organism for studying ...
