Protein prenylation in Schizosaccharomyces pombe [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 1992
S. pombe is shown to be a powerful system for studies concerning attachment or polyisoprenoid moieties to proteins, due to its ability to take up exogenous mevalonic acid efficiently. The fission yeast can take up about 5% of the exogenously added mevalonic acid and incorporate ∼10% of this into protein.

Conflicting phylogenetic position of Schizosaccharomyces pombe [PDF]

Genomics, 2006
The phylogenetic position of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe in the fungal Tree of Life is still controversial. Three alternative phylogenetic positions have been proposed in the literature, namely (1) a position basal to the Hemiascomycetes and Euascomycetes, (2) a position as a sister group to the Euascomycetes with the Hemiascomycetes as

Tellurite Reduction in Schizosaccharomyces pombe [PDF]

Journal of General Microbiology, 1974
SUMMARY: The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe was grown in the presence of 10-3 to 10-6 M-sodium tellurite. Growth was inhibited by tellurite and at concentrations above 10-5 M a black reduction product (probably tellurium) was visible in sedimented cells.

The architecture of the Schizosaccharomyces pombe CCR4-NOT complex [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2016
AbstractCCR4-NOT is a large protein complex present both in cytoplasm and the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. Although it is involved in a variety of distinct processes related to expression of genetic information such as poly(A) tail shortening, transcription regulation, nuclear export and protein degradation, there is only fragmentary information ...

Active transport of cytoophidia in Schizosaccharomyces pombe [PDF]

The FASEB Journal, 2018
The metabolic enzyme cytidine triphosphate synthase has recently been found to form micrometer-sized filamentous structures termed cytoophidia, which are evolutionarily conserved across prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The cytoophidium represents a novel type of membraneless organelle and behaves dynamically inside the cell.

Conserved Phosphorylation of the Myosin1e TH1 Domain Impacts Membrane Association and Function in Yeast and Worms

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cells have an intrinsic ability to rapidly respond to environmental change to regulate cell cycle progression and membrane organisation, thereby affecting cell growth and division. The actin cytoskeleton is a highly dynamic complex of proteins that can rapidly reorganise to change the growth pattern of a cell.

Asymmetric inheritance of cytoophidia in Schizosaccharomyces pombe [PDF]

Biology Open, 2014
ABSTRACT A general view is that Schizosaccharomyces pombe undergoes symmetric cell division with two daughter cells inheriting equal shares of the content from the mother cell. Here we show that CTP synthase, a metabolic enzyme responsible for the de novo synthesis of the nucleotide CTP, can form filamentous cytoophidia in the cytoplasm ...

Mechanical Coupling With the Nuclear Envelope Shapes the Schizosaccharomyces pombe Mitotic Spindle

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe divides via closed mitosis, meaning that spindle elongation and chromosome segregation transpire entirely within the closed nuclear envelope. Both the spindle and nuclear envelope must undergo shape changes and exert varying forces on each other during this process.

Nedd8 processing enzymes in Schizosaccharomyces pombe [PDF]

BMC Biochemistry, 2013
Abstract Background Conjugation of the ubiquitin-like modifier Nedd8 to cullins is critical for the function of SCF-type ubiquitin ligases and thus facilitates ubiquitin conjugation and ultimately degradation of SCF substrates, including several cell cycle regulators.

The SUV39 Family of H3K9 Methyltransferases in Skeletal Muscle Stem Cells

FASEB BioAdvances, EarlyView.
The SUV39 family members are well known for methylating the Lysine 9 of the histone H3 (H3K9) in order to compact the chromatin and contributing to gene repression. We describe their active role in proliferating and differentiating muscle stem cells, how they prevent from inflammation and fibrosis during muscle regeneration and the future avenues ...
