This study shows that the antifungal peptide TNM-A causes ectopic overproduction of cell wall glucan in fission yeast by altering Cdc42 activation and glucan synthase localization.

This study identifies glutathione as an exometabolite that rescues growth and morphology defects in fission yeast mutants through both nutritional and non-nutritional mechanisms.

This study shows that pentadecanoic acid causes lipotoxicity in fission yeast by forming giant ER sheets, disrupting cell division.

The paper shows that NSF in fission yeast interacts with Hmt2 and shifts gene expression from fermentation to respiration-like, independent of carbon source.
