TL;DR: It is shown that S. pombe cells can support the formation and maintenance of the prion form of the S. cerevisiae Sup35 translation factor [PSI+], and that the formationand propagation of these Sup35 aggregates is inhibited by guanidine hydrochloride, indicating commonalities in prion propagation machineries in these evolutionary diverged yeasts.

TL;DR: This work reports the construction of a set of 281 haploid gene deletion strains covering many previously uncharacterized genes in S. pombe, identifying new genes involved in DNA metabolism, completion of the cell cycle, and morphogenesis.

TL;DR: The results provide a framework for a more detailed understanding of the role of CSL proteins in the regulation of cell-cycle progression in fission yeast.

TL;DR: It is concluded that respiration supports rapid proliferation in fermenting cells of fission yeast by boosting the supply of Krebs-cycle derived amino acids.

TL;DR: It is suggested that Abo1 provides a histone chaperone function that maintains nucleosome architecture genome‐wide that prevents silencing and causes elevated chromosome mis‐segregation.
