In ascomycete fungi, sexual spores, termed ascospores, are formed after meiosis.
Ascospore formation is an unusual cell division in which daughter cells are created within …

Meiotic progression requires precise orchestration, such that one round of DNA replication is
followed by two meiotic divisions. The order and timing of meiotic events is controlled …

Cell cycle control must be modified at meiosis to allow two divisions to follow a single round
of DNA replication, resulting in ploidy reduction. The mechanisms that ensure meiosis …

The dominant model for eukaryotic cell cycle control proposes that cell cycle progression is
driven by a succession of CDK complexes with different substrate specificities. However, in …

Meiosis is a specialized style of cell division conserved in eukaryotes, particularly designed
for the production of gametes. A huge number of studies to date have demonstrated how …

Analogue-sensitive (as) mutants of kinases are widely used to selectively inhibit a single
kinase with few off-target effects. The analogue-sensitive mutant cdc2-as of fission yeast …

Meiosis is a specialized cell cycle that generates haploid gametes from diploid cells. The
fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe is one of the best model organisms for studying …

Autophagy is a conserved intracellular degradation system, which contributes to
development and differentiation of various organisms. Yeast cells undergo meiosis under …

Elaborate cell‐cycle control must be adopted to ensure the continuity of the meiotic second
division and termination after that. Despite its importance, however, the genetic controls …

The rpl1001 gene encodes 60S ribosomal protein L10, which is involved in intracellular
protein synthesis and cell growth. However, it is not yet known whether it is involved in the …
