Role of the Schizosaccharomyces pombe F-box DNA helicase in processing recombination intermediates. [PDF]
, 2005 In an effort to identify novel genes involved in recombination repair, we isolated fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe mutants sensitive to methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) and a synthetic lethal with rad2.

Journal of Fungi, 2021 We have characterized a homodimeric tRNA endonuclease from the euryarchaeota Ferroplasma acidarmanus (FERAC), a facultative anaerobe which can grow at temperatures ranging from 35 to 42 °C. This enzyme, contrary to the eukaryal tRNA endonucleases and the

Mechanism of assembly of snRNP cores assisted by ICln and the SMN complex in fission yeast
iScience, 2023 Summary: The spliceosomal snRNP cores, each comprised of a snRNA and a seven-membered Sm ring (D1/D2/F/E/G/D3/B), are assembled by twelve chaperoning proteins in human.

Electron tomography reveals novel microtubule lattice and microtubule organizing centre defects in +TIP mutants. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Mal3p and Tip1p are the fission yeast (Schizosaccharomyces pombe) homologues of EB1 and CLIP-170, two conserved microtubule plus end tracking proteins (+TIPs). These proteins are crucial regulators of microtubule dynamics.

Metabolic Allometric Scaling of Unicellular Organisms as a Product of Selection Guided by Optimization of Nutrients Distribution in Food Chains [PDF]
Biophysical Reviews and Letters, 2024, 19(3)., 2016 One of the major characteristics of living organisms is metabolic rate, which is the amount of energy produced per unit of time. When the mass of organisms increases, the metabolic rate also increases (usually as a power function of mass), but usually slower than mass. This effect is called metabolic allometric scaling.

Characterization of a Nuclear Protein Conferring Brefeldin A Resistance in Schizosaccharomyces pombe [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1996 The fungal metabolite brefeldin A disrupts protein secretion and causes the redistribution of the Golgi complex to the endoplasmic reticulum. Previously we isolated six genes that, when present in multiple copies, confer brefeldin A resistance to wild type Schizosaccharomyces pombe.

Fission yeast SWI/SNF and RSC complexes show compositional and functional differences from budding yeast. [PDF]
, 2008 SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complexes have crucial roles in transcription and other chromatin-related processes. The analysis of the two members of this class in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, SWI/SNF and RSC, has heavily contributed to our understanding of ...

Curvature-induced expulsion of actomyosin bundles during cytokinetic ring contraction
eLife, 2016 Many eukaryotes assemble a ring-shaped actomyosin network that contracts to drive cytokinesis. Unlike actomyosin in sarcomeres, which cycles through contraction and relaxation, the cytokinetic ring disassembles during contraction through an unknown ...

Observations of magnetic field induced contraction of fission yeast cells using optical projection microscopy [PDF]
Central Eur.J.Phys. 2 (2004) 636-644, 2004 The charges in live cells interact with or produce electric fields, which results in enormous dielectric responses, flexoelectricity, and related phenomena. Here we report on a contraction of schizosacchraoymces pombe (fission yeast) cells induced by magnetic fields, as observed using a phase sensitive projection image technique. Unlike electric fields,

Role for the fission yeast RecQ helicase in DNA repair in G2. [PDF]
, 2003 Members of the RecQ helicase subfamily are mutated in several human genomic instability syndromes, such as Bloom, Werner, and Rothmund-Thomson syndromes. We show that Rqh1, the single Schizosaccharomyces pombe homologue, is a 3'-to-5' helicase and exists
