Interaction Between Rec8 and Mis4 Is Required for Axis-Loop Chromatin Formation and Homologous Chromosome Recombination During Meiosis. [PDF]
Genes CellsWe identified a Mis4 cohesin loader mutant that is specifically defective in chromatin axis formation and homologous recombination while retaining normal sister chromatid cohesion. The mis4‐LR mutant, carrying the L1150S and R1159G amino acid substitutions, exhibited reduced interaction between Mis4 and Rec8, suggesting a meiosis‐specific role for the ...

Evolution of Telomeres in Schizosaccharomyces pombe and Its Possible Relationship to the Diversification of Telomere Binding Proteins. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Telomeres of nuclear chromosomes are usually composed of an array of tandemly repeated sequences that are recognized by specific Myb domain containing DNA-binding proteins (telomere-binding proteins, TBPs).

CSL proteins of Schizosaccharomyces pombe [PDF]
, 2009 The CSL family of transcription factors is essential for metazoan development,mostly due to their involvement in the Notch signaling pathway. We identified two novel classes of CSL genes in several fungal species, organisms lacking the Notch pathway. We characterized experimentally cbfl I- and cbfl2*, the two CSL genesof Schizosaccharomyces pombe, in ...

Protocol for the analysis of proteasome activity, assembly state, and composition in fission yeast extracts using native gels [PDF]
STAR ProtocolsSummary: The proteasome is a macromolecular complex responsible for degrading short-lived or damaged proteins. Proteasome analysis presents challenges due to its high molecular weight and low stability.

A cDNA of Schizosaccharomyces pombe encoding a homologue of DnaJ-like protein
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Gene Structure and Expression, 1995 A Schizosaccharomyces pombe homologue, Psi, was cloned from Schizosaccharomyces pombe cDNA library. Deduced amino acid sequence of the cDNA has 55% sequence homology with the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Sis1 protein and contains the structural features of a family of DnaJ proteins.

Sensitive and Quantitative Three-Color Protein Imaging in Fission Yeast Using Spectrally Diverse, Recoded Fluorescent Proteins with Experimentally-Characterized In Vivo Maturation Kinetics. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Schizosaccharomyces pombe is an outstanding model organism for cell biological investigations, yet the range of useful and well-characterized fluorescent proteins (XFPs) is limited.

Protein prenylation in Schizosaccharomyces pombe [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 1992 S. pombe is shown to be a powerful system for studies concerning attachment or polyisoprenoid moieties to proteins, due to its ability to take up exogenous mevalonic acid efficiently. The fission yeast can take up about 5% of the exogenously added mevalonic acid and incorporate ∼10% of this into protein.

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.
