Fourteen unlinked sin genes could be mutated to recessive antisuppressor alleles preventing the expression of suppressors in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. cyh1 alleles, resistant to the ribosomal inhibitor cycloheximide, also have some antisuppressor effect. The genetical and physiolo

Purines such as hypoxanthine, xanthine, uric acid, allantoin and allantoic acid serve as sole nitrogen sources for the yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. A number of classes of mutants unable to use purines have been isolated and genetically analysed. Mutants in the urol gene lack uricase, alll lack a
65 trp1(-) alleles of Schizosaccharomyces pombe have been analysed for their interallelic complementation pattern, suppressibility by nonsense suppressors and position of the corresponding mutation site on an intragenic map of the trp1 locus. In addition to the three complementation classes previous
Three sets of mitotic chromosomes were observed in wild type or cdc mutants (nda3-KM311 and nda2-KM52) of the fission yeast S. pombe by the DAPI staining method. The block of microtubular functions by thiabendazole or by the mutations caused their individual appearance in mitotically arrested cells.
The adel gene of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe encodes a bifunctional polypeptide with glycinamide ribotide synthetase (GARSase) and aminoimidazole ribotide synthetase (AIRSase) enzeyme activities. These enzyme activities carry out the 2nd and 5th steps, respectively, of the purine syn
Sporulation-deficient mutants of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe were isolated from a homothallic strain mutagenized with ethyl methanesulfonate. Complementation tests defined two new genetic loci (spo19 and spo20) essential for ascospore formation, in addition to the 18 known spo loci (
