Benzoic acid inhibits Coenzyme Q biosynthesis in Schizosaccharomyces pombe.
PLoS ONE, 2020 Coenzyme Q (CoQ, ubiquinone) is an essential component of the electron transport system in aerobic organisms. Human type CoQ10, which has 10 units of isoprene in its quinone structure, is especially valuable as a food supplement.

Selected Schizosaccharomyces pombe Strains Have Characteristics That Are Beneficial for Winemaking. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 At present, wine is generally produced using Saccharomyces yeast followed by Oenococus bacteria to complete malolactic fermentation. This method has some unsolved problems, such as the management of highly acidic musts and the production of potentially ...

Silver nanoparticles elevate mutagenesis of eukaryotic genomes
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2023 Metal nanoparticles, especially silver, have been used in various medical scenarios, due to their excellent antimicrobial effects. Recent studies have shown that AgNPs do not exert mutagenic effects on target bacteria, but the degree to which they ...

Chronobiology of Cancer: How Aging Fuels Oncogenesis at the Molecular Level
Aging and Cancer, EarlyView.This graphical abstract illustrates the key biological pathways linking aging with cancer development and progression. In the upper left, cumulative exposure to ultraviolet radiation, toxins, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) causes DNA damage and genomic instability, whereas age‐related decline in repair mechanisms, such as ATM/ATR, BER, and NER ...

MCM-GINS and MCM-MCM interactions in vivo visualised by bimolecular fluorescence complementation in fission yeast [PDF]
, 2009 Background: Each of the three individual components of the CMG complex (Cdc45, MCM and GINS) is essential for chromosomal DNA replication in eukaryotic cells, both for the initiation of replication at origins and also for normal replication fork ...

Combinatorial Tuning of Multigene Biosynthetic Pathways based on RNA Interference
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Small RNA sequencing identifies candidate endogenous Pol III promoters, and subsequent fluorescence screening measures knockdown efficiency to assess promoter strength. Combining promoter strength and shRNA target position enables fine‐grained RNAi regulation of multigene pathways. This strategy enhances β‐carotene production in Schizochytrium sp.

Explaining lengths and shapes of yeast by scaling arguments. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 Lengths and shapes are approached in different ways in different fields: they serve as a read-out for classifying genes or proteins in cell biology whereas they result from scaling arguments in condensed matter physics.

Microtubule Destabilizing Kinesins: A Historical Perspective and Thoughts for the Future
Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The microtubule cytoskeleton plays critical roles in multiple cellular processes such as mitotic spindle assembly and chromosome segregation. Cells contain a number of microtubule‐associated proteins that regulate microtubule dynamics both temporally and spatially in cells. The microtubule depolymerizing kinesins include members of the Kinesin‐

Identification and functional analysis of the erh1(+) gene encoding enhancer of rudimentary homolog from the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The ERH gene encodes a highly conserved small nuclear protein with a unique amino acid sequence and three-dimensional structure but unknown function. The gene is present in animals, plants, and protists but to date has only been found in few fungi.
