This study shows that compromised ESCRT signaling leads to resistance to Torin1 in fission yeast by preventing Torin1-induced degradation of transporters.

This study identifies phosphorylation sites in Aly3 that regulate Ght5 endocytosis and proliferation in low glucose in fission yeast.

This study shows that Mis4 is essential for proper nuclear separation in fission yeast after quiescence, with implications for human diseases involving NIPBL.

The paper constructs CRISPRi libraries to knock down essential genes in S. pombe, revealing metabolic pathway interactions and enabling functional studies of essential genes.

This study identifies 15 new bypassable essential genes in fission yeast through extragenic suppressor screening, showing that essentiality can be bypassed in some genes.
