Wee1 kinase differentially regulates maize CDKA2;1a and CDKB1;1
In eukaryotes, Wee1 kinase inhibits the kinase activity of CDK/Cyc complexes through phosphorylation of a conserved residue in the CDK moiety. Wee1 is also present in plants, but has been scarcely studied. We have studied maize Wee1 regulation of CDKA/CycD2;2a or CDKB/CycD2;2a complexes.

The copper transport-associated protein Ctr4 can form prion-like epigenetic determinants in Schizosaccharomyces pombe [PDF]
Prions are protein-based infectious entities associated with fatal brain diseases in animals, but also modify a range of host-cell phenotypes in the budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Many questions remain about the evolution and biology of prions.

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.

Plants synthesize ergothioneine, showing a link to abiotic stress
Various plants possess ergothioneine biosynthetic genes and can synthesize this antioxidant, where increased EGT levels under abiotic stress conditions indicate protective functions. Abstract Ergothioneine (EGT) is a sulphur‐containing histidine derivative and a potent antioxidant that exhibits beneficial effects on human health.

Identification of the Functional Domains of the Telomere Protein Rap1 in Schizosaccharomyces pombe
The telomere at the end of a linear chromosome plays crucial roles in genome stability. In the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, the Rap1 protein, one of the central players at the telomeres, associates with multiple proteins to regulate various telomere functions, such as the maintenance of telomere DNA length, telomere end protection ...

SUMO modification of Rad22, the Schizosaccharomyces pombe homologue of the recombination protein Rad52 [PDF]
The Schizosaccharomyces pombe rad31 and hus5 genes are required for the DNA damage response, as mutants defective in these genes are sensitive to DNA damaging agents, such as UV and ionising radiation and to the DNA synthesis inhibitor hydroxyurea (HU).

Solid‐state NMR combined with principal component analysis enables quantitative classification of fungal α‐ and β‐glucan architectures in intact cell walls, revealing conserved triple‐helical β‐1,3‐glucan conformations across species and predominantly bundled‐sheet α‐1,3‐glucan assemblies with condition‐dependent polymorphism. Statistical clustering of

Cloning and Characterization of the Kinesin-related Protein, Krp1p, in Schizosaccharomyces pombe
Kinesin have been cloned in many organisms. They played important roles in the transport of cell organelles, polarized growth, and secretion. We report here the identification of a kinesin-related protein in Schizosaccharomyces pombe, which was named kinesin-related protein (Krplp). The primer sequences were driven from the highly conserved area of the

Systematic Quantification of GFP-tagged Protein Foci in Schizosaccharomyces pombe Nuclei [PDF]
DNA damage repair proteins form foci in response to DNA damaging agents. The efficiency and integrity of the DNA repair pathway of a particular eukaryotic (mutant) strain is usually determined by the number of foci formed compared with their wild-type counterpart.

Fungal CSL transcription factors [PDF]
Background: The CSL (CBF1/RBP-J kappa/Suppressor of Hairless/LAG-1) transcription factor family members are well-known components of the transmembrane receptor Notch signaling pathway, which plays a critical role in metazoan development. They function as
