First, a little history. Although there were earlier isolated papers about pombe, the modern experimental work stems from two people. The first was Urs Leupold who took up its genetics and published a long paper in 1950(l). He had various reasons for choosing pombe but an important one was that it i

The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe was cultivated in a chemostat at dilution rates of D = 0.03, 0.05, 0.10, and 0.20 h-l. After steady state had been reached, the amount of dry matter, number of cells, concentration of residual sugar, yield coefficient (Y), and some morphological properties
We have cloned an unique gene encoding the heavy chain of a type II myosin in the fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe. The myo2 Ο© gene encodes a protein of 1526 amino acids with a predicted molecular weight of 177 kDa and containing consensus binding motifs for both essential and regulatory lig
## Abstract Recently we isolated Rad24, a 14β3β3 homologue, which is essential for DNA damage checkpoint, as a Rafβ1 interacting protein by screening a __Schizosaccharomyces pombe__ (__S. pombe__) cDNA library. Rafβ1 was also found to recognize Cdc25 that is sequestered and inactivated by Rad24. In
We have isolated and sequenced the ptDI gene from the fission yeast S~l~i~osac.clrrrroi~i~c.~s poinhe. Sequence analysis suggests that Ptbl is the subunit of the type-I1 geranylgeranyltransferase that is responsible for geranylgeranylation of the Rab-like YPT proteins in this yeast! The sequence has
