Mitochondrial dysfunction is related to common age-related disorders, including neurodegenerative diseases, metabolic syndrome, and carcinogenesis. Therefore, maintaining the functionality and integrity of mitochondria is important for human health ...

Π-cyc: A Reference-free SNP Discovery Application using Parallel Graph Search [PDF]
Motivation: Working with a large number of genomes simultaneously is of great interest in genetic population and comparative genomics research. Bubbles discovery in multi-genomes coloured de bruijn graph for de novo genome assembly is a problem that can be translated to cycles enumeration in graph theory.

Altering the stability of the Cdc8 overlap region modulates the ability of this tropomyosin to bind cooperatively to actin and regulate myosin. [PDF]
Tropomyosin (Tm) is an evolutionarily conserved ?-helical coiled-coil protein, dimers of which form end-to-end polymers capable of associating with and stabilising actin-filaments and regulate myosin function. The fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe,

Physiological features of Schizosaccharomyces pombe of interest in making of white wines
This work studies the physiology of Schizosaccharomyces pombe strain 938 in the production of white wine with high malic acid levels as the sole fermentative yeast, as well as in mixed and sequential fermentations with Saccharomyces cerevisiaeCru Blanc ...

Novel TORC1 inhibitor Ecl1 is regulated by phosphorylation in fission yeast
Extender of chronological lifespan 1 (Ecl1), which inhibits the target of rapamycin complex 1 (TORC1), physically interacts with TORC1 subunits and is necessary for appropriate cellular responses to various stressors, such as starvation, in fission yeast. Several functions of Ecl1 are suppressed by Thr7 phosphorylation when nutrients are abundant.

Deletion mutants in COP9/Signalosome subunits in fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe display distinct phenotypes [PDF]
The COP9/signalosome complex is highly conserved in evolution and possesses significant structural similarity to the 19S regulatory lid complex of the proteasome. It also shares limited similarity to the translation initiation factor eIF3.

SUMMARY Efficient biofortification, i.e., the enrichment of edible plant organs with micronutrients available for human consumption, is pursued through breeding and genetic engineering approaches. Enriching for iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn), two of the most critical trace elements, in cereal grains can be achieved by boosting the synthesis of nicotianamine ...

Checkpoints are blind to replication restart and recombination intermediates that result in gross chromosomal rearrangements [PDF]
Replication fork inactivation can be overcome by homologous recombination, but this can cause gross chromosomal rearrangements that subsequently missegregate at mitosis, driving further chromosome instability.

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

We used a genetic screen based on tRNA-mediated suppression (TMS) in a Schizosaccharomyces pombe La protein (Sla1p) mutant. Suppressor pre-tRNASerUCA-C47:6U with a debilitating substitution in its variable arm fails to produce tRNA in a sla1-rrm mutant ...
