This study identifies how calcineurin (CN) is recruited to the cytokinetic ring in fission yeast and shows that Rcn1 inhibits CN to regulate cytokinesis.

This study identifies Ghs2 as a binding partner of Bgs3 in fission yeast, showing they co-localize and work together to synthesize and branch β-1,3-glucan in the fungal cell wall.

The paper identifies SNOR, a ribosome-associated factor in S. pombe, that enables translation restart after cellular dormancy induced by glucose depletion.

The paper identifies a regulatory mechanism involving Sty1 and Orb6 kinases that controls Cdc42 dynamics during stress, leading to changes in cell morphology and lifespan.

This paper uses solid-state NMR to study the role of α-amylase family enzymes in S. pombe cell wall structure and function, revealing their non-redundant role with glucan synthase in cell wall synthesis.
