Fungal response to any stress is intricate, specific, and multilayered, though it employs only
a few evolutionarily conserved regulators. This comes with the assumption that one …

Activation of redox cascades through hydrogen peroxide-mediated reversible cysteine
oxidation is a major mechanism for intracellular signaling. Understanding why some …

Heterochromatin that depends on histone H3 lysine 9 methylation (H3K9me) renders
embedded genes transcriptionally silent,–. In the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces …

Translational control is essential in response to stress. We investigated the translational
programmes launched by the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe upon five …

Fusarium head blight caused by F usarium graminearum is one of the most destructive
diseases of wheat and barley. Deoxynivalenol (DON) produced by the pathogen is an …

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 …

The regulation of gene expression in response to increased levels of reactive oxygen
species (ROS) is a ubiquitous response in aerobic organisms. However, different organisms …

Iron is an essential cofactor, but it is also toxic at high levels. In Schizosaccharomyces
pombe, the sensor glutaredoxin Grx4 guides the activity of the repressors Php4 and Fep1 to …

Epe1 histone demethylase restricts H3K9-methylation-dependent heterochromatin,
preventing it from spreading over, and silencing, gene-containing regions in fission yeast …

In fission yeast, the transcription factor Pap1 undergoes H 2 O 2-dependent oxidation that
promotes its nuclear accumulation and the activation of an antioxidant gene program …
