Conserved Phosphorylation of the Myosin1e TH1 Domain Impacts Membrane Association and Function in Yeast and Worms

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
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.

Identification of the Functional Domains of the Telomere Protein Rap1 in Schizosaccharomyces pombe

PLoS ONE, 2012
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 ...

Protein S-palmitoylation regulates different stages of meiosis inSchizosaccharomyces pombe

Life Science Alliance, 2023
Posttranslational protein S-palmitoylation regulates the localization and function of its target proteins involved in diverse cellular processes including meiosis. In this study, we demonstrate that S-palmitoylation mediated by Erf2-Erf4 and Akr1 palmitoylacyltransferases is required at multiple meiotic stages in the fission yeastSchizosaccharomyces ...

Smc5/6: a link between DNA repair and unidirectional replication? [PDF]

, 2008
Of the three structural maintenance of chromosome (SMC) complexes, two directly regulate chromosome dynamics. The third, Smc5/6, functions mainly in homologous recombination and in completing DNA replication.

Mechanical Coupling With the Nuclear Envelope Shapes the Schizosaccharomyces pombe Mitotic Spindle

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe divides via closed mitosis, meaning that spindle elongation and chromosome segregation transpire entirely within the closed nuclear envelope. Both the spindle and nuclear envelope must undergo shape changes and exert varying forces on each other during this process.

Scarless Gene Tagging with One-Step Transformation and Two-Step Selection in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Schizosaccharomyces pombe. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Gene tagging with fluorescent proteins is commonly applied to investigate the localization and dynamics of proteins in their cellular environment. Ideally, a fluorescent tag is genetically inserted at the endogenous locus at the N- or C- terminus of the ...

How causal analysis can reveal autonomy in models of biological systems [PDF]

, 2017
Standard techniques for studying biological systems largely focus on their dynamical, or, more recently, their informational properties, usually taking either a reductionist or holistic perspective. Yet, studying only individual system elements or the dynamics of the system as a whole disregards the organisational structure of the system - whether ...

The SUV39 Family of H3K9 Methyltransferases in Skeletal Muscle Stem Cells

FASEB BioAdvances, EarlyView.
The SUV39 family members are well known for methylating the Lysine 9 of the histone H3 (H3K9) in order to compact the chromatin and contributing to gene repression. We describe their active role in proliferating and differentiating muscle stem cells, how they prevent from inflammation and fibrosis during muscle regeneration and the future avenues ...

The fission yeast XMAP215 homolog Dis1p is involved in microtubule bundle organization. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
Microtubules are essential for a variety of fundamental cellular processes such as organelle positioning and control of cell shape. Schizosaccharomyces pombe is an ideal organism for studying the function and organization of microtubules into bundles in ...

Structural and functional conservation of the human homolog of the Schizosaccharomyces pombe rad2 gene, which is required for chromosome segregation and recovery from DNA damage [PDF]

, 1994
The rad2 mutant of Schizosaccharomyces pombe is sensitive to UV irradiation and deficient in the repair of UV damage. In addition, it has a very high degree of chromosome loss and/or nondisjunction.
