Sentences with phrase «fission yeast»

Microtubules in fission yeast are oriented properly in the cell by a molecular motor, allowing the yeast cell to elongate.

In the comparatively simple organism fission yeast, a cellular phenomenon known as RNA interference (RNAi) plays an essential role in assembling heterochromatin, which keeps the compressed DNA in an inactive or «silent» state.

In one case, Shiv Grewal, Robert Martienssen, and their colleagues at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory found that fission yeast cells that lacked the usual small RNAs couldn't properly form a type of chromatin at certain locations in the genome.

Fission yeast (Schizosaccharomyces pombe) cells grow longitudinally in a manner dependent on a polarized distribution of their interphase microtubules.

In this study, it is shown that dephosphorylation of Tyr15 triggered activation of the pp34 - cyclin complex from fission yeast, that a human protein - tyrosine phosphatase can catalyze this event both in vitro and in vivo, and that activation of fission yeast pp34 does not require threonine dephosphorylation.

We have now identified homologous proteins in fission yeast and in humans.

Thus, interphase microtubules in the fission yeast require motor activities for their proper organization.

Here the homologous genes from the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe and human are identified.

Thus, Taz1p appears to regulate telomeric recombination as well as telomerase activity in fission yeast.

Behaviour similar to that of a PS has also been observed in fission yeast (S. pombe) and the roundworm (C. elegans), albeit with no molecular explanation.

Here, in fission yeast the actin ring was found to be required to generate late - mitotic microtubular structures located at the division plane, and these in turn maintained the medial position of the actin ring.

«We know from previous studies that the fission yeast version of DDX3X is thought to play a role in translation of key regulatory proteins, possibly by helping untangle parts of the RNA molecule.»

If either of the same two mutant DDX3X proteins were substituted for the most similar protein in fission yeast, the yeast died.

We use the fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, to study the dynamic changes and plasticity of gene expression programs as a function of cell proliferation, quiescence and ageing, and the effect of various genetic and environmental perturbations.
