Post-translational processing of Schizosaccharomyces pombe YPT proteins.
ras proteins are post-translationally processed at their carboxyl-terminal CAAX motif by a triplet of modifications: prenylation of C with farnesyl, proteolytic trimming of AAX, and carboxyl-methylation. These modifications co-operate with palmitoylation of nearby sites or a polybasic region to target plasma membrane localization.

The role of Schizosaccharomyces pombe SUMO ligases in genome stability [PDF]
SUMOylation is a post-translational modification that affects a large number of proteins, many of which are nuclear. While the role of SUMOylation is beginning to be elucidated, it is clear that understanding the mechanisms that regulate the process is ...

N-Terminus Does Not Govern Protein Turnover of Schizosaccharomyces pombe CENP-A [PDF]
Centromere integrity underlies an essential framework for precise chromosome segregation and epigenetic inheritance. Although centromeric DNA sequences vary among different organisms, all eukaryotic centromeres comprise a centromere-specific histone H3 variant, centromeric protein A (CENP-A), on which other centromeric proteins assemble into the ...

Summary: Many cellular processes require the activities of complex molecular machines composed of several protein subunits. Insights into these systems can be gained by isolation of protein complexes followed by in vitro analyses determining the identity,

Inter-species complementation of the translocon beta subunit requires only its transmembrane domain. [PDF]
In eukaryotes, proteins enter the secretory pathway through the translocon pore of the endoplasmic reticulum. This protein translocation channel is composed of three major subunits, called Sec61alpha, beta and gamma in mammals. Unlike the other subunits,

The DNA damage checkpoint: A tale from budding yeast
Studies performed in the yeasts Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Schizosaccharomyces pombe have led the way in defining the DNA damage checkpoint and in identifying most of the proteins involved in this regulatory network, which turned out to have structural

Dependence of protein-induced lipid bilayer deformations on protein shape [PDF]
Membrane proteins typically deform the surrounding lipid bilayer membrane, which can play an important role in the function, regulation, and organization of membrane proteins. Membrane elasticity theory provides a beautiful description of protein-induced lipid bilayer deformations, in which all physical parameters can be directly determined from ...

Smc5/6 is required for repair at collapsed replication forks. [PDF]
In eukaryotes, three pairs of structural-maintenance-of-chromosome (SMC) proteins are found in conserved multisubunit protein complexes required for chromosomal organization.

The RNA Binding Protein Csx1 Promotes Sexual Differentiation in Schizosaccharomyces pombe
Sexual differentiation is a highly regulated process in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe and is triggered by nutrient depletion, mainly nitrogen source. One of the key regulatory proteins in fission yeast sexual differentiation is the transcription factor Ste11.

Involvement of Schizosaccharomyces pombe rrp1+ and rrp2+ in the Srs2- and Swi5/Sfr1-dependent pathway in response to DNA damage and replication inhibition [PDF]
Previously we identified Rrp1 and Rrp2 as two proteins required for the Sfr1/Swi5-dependent branch of homologous recombination (HR) in Schizosaccharomyces pombe.
