Why cells grow and divide? General growth mechanism and how it defines cells' growth, reproduction and metabolic properties [PDF]
We consider a general growth mechanism, which acts at cellular level and above (organs, systems and whole organisms). Using its mathematical representation, the growth equation, we study the growth and division mechanisms of amoeba and fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe.

Nanoscale architecture of the Schizosaccharomyces pombe contractile ring
The contractile ring is a complex molecular apparatus which physically divides many eukaryotic cells. Despite knowledge of its protein composition, the molecular architecture of the ring is not known.

Budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe are good models for heterochromatin study. In S. pombe, H3K9 methylation and Swi6, an ortholog of mammalian HP1, lead to heterochromatin formation. However, S.

Testing the disjunction hypothesis using Voronoi diagrams with applications to genetics [PDF]
Testing of the disjunction hypothesis is appropriate when each gene or location studied is associated with multiple $p$-values, each of which is of individual interest. This can occur when more than one aspect of an underlying process is measured. For example, cancer researchers may hope to detect genes that are both differentially expressed on a ...

Analysis of the association between codon optimality and mRNA stability in Schizosaccharomyces pombe
BackgroundRecent experiments have shown that codon optimality is a major determinant of mRNA stability in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and that this phenomenon may be conserved in Escherichia coli and some metazoans, although work in Neurospora crassa is not

Conflicting phylogenetic position of Schizosaccharomyces pombe [PDF]
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

Désadification biologique des vins par les levures de fleur
L'utilisation par les bactéries ou les levures de certains acides organiques présents dans le vin est un procédé biologique qui offre un grand intérêt pour l'élimination totale ou partielle de certains acides, comme l'acide malique ou l'acide acétique ...

Cytokinesis, which enables the physical separation of daughter cells once mitosis has been completed, is executed in fungal and animal cells by a contractile actin- and myosin-based ring (CAR).

Schizosaccharomyces pombe Pol II transcription elongation factor ELL functions as part of a rudimentary super elongation complex [PDF]
ELL family transcription factors activate the overall rate of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription elongation by binding directly to Pol II and suppressing its tendency to pause.
