The nomenclature rules for the genetics of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe have been fixed for the first time, after discussion among scientists working with this organism. Conventions are proposed for the naming of genes and alleles that are obtained by classical means or by reverse gen

β¦ Synopsis
As an aid to the fission yeast genome project, we describe a database for Schizosaccharomyces pombe consisting of both genetic and physical information. As presented, it is therefore both an updated gene list of all the nuclear genes of the fission yeast, and provides an estimate of the physical distance between two mapped genes. Additionally, a field indicates whether the sequence of the gene is available. Currently, sequence information is available for 135 of the 501 known genes.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been widely used as a model organism in studies of replicative ageing and senescence. The relevance of these studies to ageing in other organisms has, however, been questioned, since this yeast divides by budding rather than fission, the more common pattern in higher org
The mesl + gene of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe is essential for the second meiotic division. We have cloned a 1.1-kb HindIII fragment containing mesl Β§ by complementation from an S. pombe genomic library. Sequencing of the genomic and cDNA fragments indicates the existence of one sma
1) We have identified by electron microscopy and isolated a circular DNA species of approximately 6 #m contour length from DNase treated mitochondrial fractions of the petite negative yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe (S. pombe). 2) Another molecular species of about 3/~m length is also present in mi
The three mutator strains anar-8, anar-14, and diur-301 were shown to produce respiratory deficient mutants at different rates. The frequency of respiratory deficient mutants in a culture could be increased by adding ethidium bromide. According to their cytochrome spectra and enzymatic activities th
The fungal biotransformation of steroids is of applied interest due to the economic importance of such stereo- and regiospecific reactions and also in the context of ergosterol pathway engineering to produce vitamin D and steroidal products. In Schizosaccharomyces pombe no steroid hydroxylation as i
