Mitotic Phosphorylation of Swi6/HP1 Regulates Its Chromatin Binding and Chromosome Segregation. [PDF]
Heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1) plays an important role in heterochromatin assembly. HP1 proteins undergo additional phosphorylation during mitosis. However, the functional significance of the mitotic phosphorylation of HP1 remains unclear. We identified mitotic phosphorylation sites within fission yeast Swi6 and showed that this phosphorylation is ...

Combinatorial Analyses of Pre-mRNA Splicing-Defective Mutants Reveal Differential Quantitative Requirements for Shelterin in Distinct Telomere Functions. [PDF]
Different telomere functions show distinct dependence on Rap1 protein levels revealed by analyses of pre‐mRNA splicing mutants. ABSTRACT Telomeres perform multiple functions to maintain genome stability, including telomere length regulation, chromosome end protection, and meiotic chromosome dynamics.

Rad62 protein functionally and physically associates with the Smc5/Smc6 protein complex and is required for chromosome integrity and recombination repair in fission yeast [PDF]
Smc5 and Smc6 proteins form a heterodimeric SMC (structural maintenance of chromosome) protein complex like SMC1-SMC3 cohesin and SMC2-SMC4 condensin, and they associate with non-SMC proteins Nse1 and Nse2 stably and Rad60 transiently.

Curvature-induced expulsion of actomyosin bundles during cytokinetic ring contraction
Many eukaryotes assemble a ring-shaped actomyosin network that contracts to drive cytokinesis. Unlike actomyosin in sarcomeres, which cycles through contraction and relaxation, the cytokinetic ring disassembles during contraction through an unknown ...

Possible involvement of nitric oxide and reactive oxygen species in glucose deprivation-induced activation of transcription factor rst2. [PDF]
Glucose is one of the most important sources of cellular nutrition and glucose deprivation induces various cellular responses. In Schizosaccharomyces pombe, zinc finger protein Rst2 is activated upon glucose deprivation, and regulates gene expression via

Role of the Schizosaccharomyces pombe F-box DNA helicase in processing recombination intermediates. [PDF]
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.

Schizosaccharomyces isolation method
This study discusses the optimization of a selective and differential medium which would facilitate the isolation of Schizosaccharomyces (a genus with a low incidence compared to other microorganisms) to select individuals from this genus for industrial ...
