Functional characterization of the phosphorelay protein Mpr1p fromSchizosaccharomyces pombe [PDF]
Histidine-containing phosphotransfer (HPt) proteins play an essential role in multistep histidine-aspartate phosphorelay signal transduction systems in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The putative HPt protein in Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Mpr1p (also known as Spy1p), is a 295 amino acid protein that appears to be composed of more than one functional domain.

Genetic Requirements for Intra-Chromosomal Deletions [PDF]
Chromosomal deletions are one of the most dangerous types of DNA damage and often arise as a result of inappropriately repaired DNA double strand breaks (DSB).

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae SEC14 Gene Encodes a Cytosolic Factor That Is Required for Transport of Secretory Proteins from the Yeast Golgi Complex [PDF]
We have obtained and characterized a genomic clone of SEC14, a Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene whose product is required for export of yeast secretory proteins from the Golgi complex.

Relationships between cell cycle regulator gene copy numbers and protein expression levels in Schizosaccharomyces pombe. [PDF]
We previously determined the copy number limits of overexpression for cell division cycle (cdc) regulatory genes in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe using the "genetic tug-of-war" (gTOW) method.

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.

Ectopic A-lattice seams destabilize microtubules [PDF]
Natural microtubules typically include one A-lattice seam within an otherwise helically symmetric B-lattice tube. It is currently unclear how A-lattice seams influence microtubule dynamic instability.

Engineering Strategies for Fungal Cell Disruption in Biotechnological Applications
ABSTRACT Fungal cell disruption plays a critical role in unlocking a wide range of high‐value intracellular products such as lipids, proteins, pigments, and bioactive compounds. However, lysing fungal cells is far more challenging than breaking bacterial or algal cells due to their robust and highly structured cell walls.

Ribonucleolytic resection is required for repair of strand displaced nonhomologous end-joining intermediates [PDF]
Nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) pathways repair DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) in eukaryotes and many prokaryotes, although it is not reported to operate in the third domain of life, archaea. Here, we describe a complete NHEJ complex, consisting of DNA

Abstract Cellular aging is a multifaceted complex process. Many genes and factors have been identified that regulate cellular aging. However, how these genes and factors interact with one another and how these interactions drive the aging processes in single cells remain largely unclear.

From Yeast to Therapeutics: Modeling Neurodegenerative Diseases in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Yeast plasmids expressing human Aβ‐42, α‐syn, htt, and TDP‐43. Their fate includes an equilibrium between the endocytic pathway and aggregates that potentially disrupt endocytosis, vesicular transport, vacuolar autophagy, and mitochondrial activity. ABSTRACT Here, we review the use of Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a powerful model organism for studying ...
