The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe employs two main strategies to adapt to the
environment and survive when starved for nutrients. The strategies employ sporulation via …

In the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, the duration of survival in the stationary
phase, termed the chronological lifespan (CLS), is affected by various environmental factors …

In Schizosaccharomyces pombe, ecl family genes are induced by several signals, such as
starvation of various nutrients, including sulfur, amino acids and Mg2+, and environmental …

Starvation of Schizosaccharomyces pombe for inorganic phosphate elicits adaptive
transcriptome changes in which mRNAs driving ribosome biogenesis, tRNA biogenesis, and …

Leucine (Leu) is a branched-chain, essential amino acid in animals, including humans.
Fungi, including the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, can biosynthesize Leu, but …

Sulfur is an essential component of various biologically important molecules, including
methionine, cysteine and glutathione, and it is also involved in coping with oxidative and …

Yeast is an excellent model organism for research for regulating aging and lifespan, and the

There are several examples in the nature wherein the mechanism of longevity control of
unicellular organisms is evolutionarily conserved with that of higher multicellular organisms …

Cyclins are degraded by the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C)-mediated
proteasome in normal mitosis. We showed that Cdc13 (cyclin B) is also degraded by …

Certain proteins assemble into diverse complex states, each having a distinct and unique
function in the cell. Target of rapamycin (Tor) complex 1 (TORC1) plays a central role in …
