TL;DR: Differences in gene content and regulation explain why, unlike the budding yeast of Saccharomycotina, fission yeasts cannot use ethanol as a primary carbon source and provide tools for investigation across the Schizosaccharomyces clade.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome-wide identification and characterization of replication origins by deep sequencing
Jia Xu,Yoshimi Yanagisawa,Alexander M. Tsankov,Christopher Hart,Christopher Hart,Keita Aoki,Naveen Kommajosyula,Kathleen E. Steinmann,Kathleen E. Steinmann,James Bochicchio,Carsten Russ,Aviv Regev,Aviv Regev,Oliver J. Rando,Chad Nusbaum,Hironori Niki,Patrice M. Milos,Zhiping Weng,Nicholas Rhind +18 more
TL;DR: The sequences that specify origins are evolutionarily plastic, with low complexity nucleosome-excluding sequences functioning in S. pombe and S. octosporus, and binding sites for trans-acting nucleosomes-excluding proteins functioning inS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Breakage of the nuclear envelope by an extending mitotic nucleus occurs during anaphase in Schizosaccharomyces japonicus.
Keita Aoki,Hanako Hayashi,Kanji Furuya,Mamiko Sato,Tomoko Takagi,Masako Osumi,Akatsuki Kimura,Hironori Niki +7 more
TL;DR: A form of mitosis in which the nuclear envelope is torn by elongation of the nucleus in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces japonicus is described, providing insight into the diversity ofMitosis and the biological significance of breakdown of thenuclear envelope.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel episomal vectors and a highly efficient transformation procedure for the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces japonicus.
TL;DR: Novel plasmid vectors with high transformation efficiency and an electroporation method for Sz.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synchronous Activation of Cell Division by Light or Temperature Stimuli in the Dimorphic Yeast Schizosaccharomyces japonicus
Sho Okamoto,Kanji Furuya,Kanji Furuya,Shingo Nozaki,Keita Aoki,Keita Aoki,Hironori Niki,Hironori Niki +7 more
TL;DR: It is reported that the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces japonicus responds to blue light depending on Wcs1 and Wcs2, orthologs of components of the WC complex, which allows organisms to adapt to daily changes of environmental alteration.
