  {"abstract":"Genomic sequencing data and morphological properties demonstrate evolutionary relationships among groups of the fission yeast,  Schizosaccharomyces  Phylogenetically,  S. japonicus  is the furthest removed from other species of fission yeast. The basic characteristics of cell proliferation are shared among all fission yeast, including the process of binary fission during vegetative growth, conjugation and karyogamy with horsetail movement, mating-type switching, and sporulation. However,  S. japonicus  also exhibits characteristics that are unique to filamentous fungi.  S. japonicus  is a nonpathogenic yeast that exhibits dimorphism. Depending on the environmental conditions,  S. japonicus  transforms from yeast cells into filamentous cells (hyphae), and blue light triggers synchronous septation of hyphal cells. A rough version of the whole-genome sequence is now available, facilitating genetic manipulation of  S. japonicus.  Furthermore, the extensive genetic knowledge available for  S. pombe  is aiding the development of genetic tools for analyzing  S. japonicus. S. japonicus  will help shed light on the evolutionary relationships among the fission yeast.","alleles_by_uniquename":{},"annotation_curators":[],"annotation_details":{},"annotation_file_curators":[],"authors":"Aoki K, Furuya K, Niki H","authors_abbrev":"Aoki K et al.","canto_added_date":"2021-05-10 08:46:37","canto_curator_role":"JaponicusDB","canto_triage_status":"Review or comment","citation":"Cold Spring Harb Protoc 2017 Dec 01;2017(12):pdb.top082651","cv_annotations":{},"doi":"10.1101/pdb.top082651","gene_count":0,"genes_by_uniquename":{},"genotypes_by_uniquename":{},"ltp_gene_count":0,"ortholog_annotations":[],"paralog_annotations":[],"physical_interactions":[],"publication_year":"2017","pubmed_entrez_date":"2017-07-23","pubmed_publication_date":"01 Dec 2017","terms_by_termid":{},"title":" Schizosaccharomyces japonicus : A Distinct Dimorphic Yeast among the Fission Yeasts.","uniquename":"PMID:28733412"}

The ability of alkaloids to display primary fluorescence, allowed us to record their dynamics and localization in cells. Cytotoxic, anti-microtubular, and anti-actin effects in living cells were studied. In the yeasts, neither microtubules nor cell growth was seriously affected even at the alkaloid concentration of 100 microg/ml. The HeLa cells, however, responded to the toxic effect of alkaloids at concentrations ranging from 1 to 50 microg/ml. IC50 values for individual alkaloids were: sanguinarine IC50 = 0.8 microg/ml, sanguilutine IC50 = 8.3 microg/ml, chelerythrine IC50 = 6.2 microg/ml, chelilutine IC50 = 5.2 microg/ml, coptisine IC50 = 2.6 microg/ml and berberine IC50 > 10.0 microg/ml. In living cells, sanguinarine produced a decrease in microtubule numbers, particularly at the cell periphery, at a concentration of 0.1 microg/ml. The other alkaloids showed a similar effect but at higher concentrations (5-50 microg/ml). The strongest effects of sanguinarine were explained as a consequence of its easy penetration through the cell membrane owing to nonpolar pseudobase formation and to a high degree of molecular planarity.","alleles_by_uniquename":{},"annotation_curators":[],"annotation_details":{},"annotation_file_curators":[],"authors":"Slaninová I, Táborská E, Bochoráková H, Slanina J","authors_abbrev":"Slaninová I et al.","canto_added_date":"2021-05-10 08:46:37","canto_curator_role":"JaponicusDB","canto_triage_status":"Cell composition or WT feature","citation":"Cell Biol Toxicol 2001;17(1):51-63","cv_annotations":{},"gene_count":0,"genes_by_uniquename":{},"genotypes_by_uniquename":{},"ltp_gene_count":0,"ortholog_annotations":[],"paralog_annotations":[],"physical_interactions":[],"publication_year":"2001","pubmed_entrez_date":"2001-08-16","pubmed_publication_date":"2001","terms_by_termid":{},"title":"Interaction of benzo[c]phenanthridine and protoberberine alkaloids with animal and yeast cells.","uniquename":"PMID:11504450"}

Sequence analysis further showed that the nucleotide and amino acid sequences of pheromone-related genes have diversified among the eight strains from  Drosophila , suggesting crossing between  S. japonicus  cells of different genetic backgrounds occurs frequently in this insect.

  {"abstract":"CENP-A is a centromere-specific histone H3 variant that is required for kinetochore assembly and accurate chromosome segregation. For it to function properly, CENP-A must be specifically localized to centromeres. In fission yeast, Scm3sp and the Mis18 complex, composed of Mis16, Eic1, and Mis18, function as a CENP-A(Cnp1)-specific chaperone and a recruiting factor, respectively, and together ensure accurate delivery of CENP-A(Cnp1) to centromeres. Although how Scm3sp specifically recognizes CENP-A(Cnp1) has been revealed recently, the recruiting mechanism of CENP-A(Cnp1) via the Mis18 complex remains unknown. In this study, we have determined crystal structures of Schizosaccharomyces japonicus Mis16 alone and in complex with the helix 1 of histone H4 (H4α1). Crystal structures followed by mutant analysis and affinity pull-downs have revealed that Mis16 recognizes both H4α1 and Scm3sp independently within the CENP-A(Cnp1)/H4:Scm3sp complex. This observation suggests that Mis16 gains CENP-A(Cnp1) specificity by recognizing both Scm3sp and histone H4. Our studies provide insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying specific recruitment of CENP-A(Cnp1)/H4:Scm3sp into centromeres.

  {"abstract":"Biosynthesis of sterols, which are key constituents of canonical eukaryotic membranes, requires molecular oxygen. Anaerobic protists and deep-branching anaerobic fungi are the only eukaryotes in which a mechanism for sterol-independent growth has been elucidated. In these organisms, tetrahymanol, formed through oxygen-independent cyclization of squalene by a squalene-tetrahymanol cyclase, acts as a sterol surrogate. This study confirms an early report [C. J. E. A. Bulder,  Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek , 37, 353-358 (1971)] that  Schizosaccharomyces japonicus  is exceptional among yeasts in growing anaerobically on synthetic media lacking sterols and unsaturated fatty acids. Mass spectrometry of lipid fractions of anaerobically grown  Sch. japonicus  showed the presence of hopanoids, a class of cyclic triterpenoids not previously detected in yeasts, including hop-22(29)-ene, hop-17(21)-ene, hop-21(22)-ene, and hopan-22-ol. A putative gene in  Sch. japonicus  showed high similarity to bacterial squalene-hopene cyclase (SHC) genes and in particular to those of  Acetobacter  species. No orthologs of the putative  Sch. japonicus  SHC were found in other yeast species. Expression of the  Sch. japonicus  SHC gene ( Sjshc1 ) in  Saccharomyces cerevisiae  enabled hopanoid synthesis and stimulated anaerobic growth in sterol-free media, thus indicating that one or more of the hopanoids produced by SjShc1 could at least partially replace sterols. Use of hopanoids as sterol surrogates represents a previously unknown adaptation of eukaryotic cells to anaerobic growth. The fast anaerobic growth of  Sch. japonicus  in sterol-free media is an interesting trait for developing robust fungal cell factories for application in anaerobic industrial processes.","alleles_by_uniquename":{},"annotation_curators":[],"annotation_details":{},"annotation_file_curators":[],"authors":"Bouwknegt J, Wiersma SJ, Ortiz-Merino RA, Doornenbal ESR, Buitenhuis P, Giera M, Müller C, Pronk JT","authors_abbrev":"Bouwknegt J et al.","canto_added_date":"2023-05-04 00:40:04","canto_curator_role":"JaponicusDB","canto_triage_status":"Cell composition or WT feature","citation":"Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2021 Aug 10;118(32)","cv_annotations":{},"doi":"10.1073/pnas.2105225118","gene_count":0,"genes_by_uniquename":{},"genotypes_by_uniquename":{},"ltp_gene_count":0,"ortholog_annotations":[],"paralog_annotations":[],"physical_interactions":[],"publication_year":"2021","pubmed_entrez_date":"2021-08-06","pubmed_publication_date":"10 Aug 2021","terms_by_termid":{},"title":"A squalene-hopene cyclase in  Schizosaccharomyces japonicus  represents a eukaryotic adaptation to sterol-limited anaerobic environments.","uniquename":"PMID:34353908"}

Annotations resulting from the transfer of GO terms display the 'ISS' evidence code and include an accession for the protein from which the annotation was projected in the 'with' field (column 8). This field can contain either a UniProtKB accession or an IPI (International Protein Index) identifier. Only annotations with an experimental evidence code and which do not have the 'NOT' qualifier are transferred. Putative orthologs are chosen using information combined from a variety of complementary sources. Potential orthologs are initially identified using sequence similarity search programs such as BLAST. Orthology relationships are then verified manually using a combination of resources including sequence analysis tools, phylogenetic and comparative genomics databases such as Ensembl Compara, INPARANOID and OrthoMCL, as well as other specialised databases such as species-specific collections (e.g. HGNC's HCOP). In all cases curators check each alignment and use their experience to assess whether similarity is considered to be strong enough to infer that the two proteins have a common function so that they can confidently project an annotation. While there is no fixed cut-off point in percentage sequence similarity, generally proteins which have greater than 30% identity that covers greater than 80% of the length of both proteins are examined further. For mammalian proteins this cut-off tends to be higher, with an average of 80% identity over 90% of the length of both proteins. Strict orthologs are desirable but not essential. In general, when there is evidence of multiple paralogs for a single species, annotations using less specific GO terms are transferred to the paralogs, however, annotations using more specific GO terms may be transferred to the most similar paralog in each species, this decision is taken on a case by case basis and may be influenced by statements by researchers in the field.

Spindle pole bodies (SPBs), which are the fungal equivalent of centrosomes, of Sz. japonicus were visualized by immunofluorescent staining using a monoclonal anti-gamma-tubulin antibody. The behaviour of the SPBs during the cell cycle mostly coincided with previous reports on the most widely used fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. We cloned the gamma-tubulin gene from Sz. japonicus by PCR using redundant sets of primers corresponding to conserved regions of known gamma-tubulins. The predicted amino acid sequence of Sz. japonicus gamma-tubulin was most similar to the Sz. pombe gamma-tubulin. Under the electron microscope, the SPBs of Sz. japonicus were detected as electron-dense multilayered structures located just outside the nuclear envelope. The SPBs of Sz. japonicus were composed of three electron-dense layers and were surrounded by fuzzy material. Each layer showed structural changes according to the progression of the cell cycle. In mitotic cells, the SPBs were located on the fenestrae of the nuclear envelopes through which the mitotic spindle microtubules ran into the nucleoplasm.

  {"abstract":"Schizosaccharomyces cells divide by medial septation, followed by enzymatic degradation of parts of the septum (septum cleavage) to allow the sister cells to separate from each other. In a previous study we found that the cell separation mutant sep9-307 was defective in a gene that encodes a protein highly similar in sequence to the Saccharomyces cerevisiae protein Spt8, a subunit of the SAGA complex. Here, we show that the sep9-307 mutation causes a frameshift in translation. The deletion of sep9(+) is not lethal but abolishes normal septum cleavage by reducing the activity of ace2(+), a gene coding for a transcription factor of numerous genes producing proteins for septum cleavage. Indirect evidence indicates that Sep9 might also act directly in the transcription of certain target genes (e.g. eng1(+)) of this regulator. sep9-307 is synthetically lethal with mutations in the cell separation genes sep11/med18(+) and sep15/med8(+), which encode subunits of the general transcription factor mediator.

  {"abstract":"Three types of mitosis, which are open, closed or semi-open mitosis, function in eukaryotic cells, respectively. The open mitosis involves breakage of the nuclear envelope before nuclear division, whereas the closed mitosis proceeds with an intact nuclear envelope. To understand the mechanism and significance of three types of mitotic division in eukaryotes, we investigated the process of semi-open mitosis, in which the nuclear envelope is only partially broken, in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces japonicus. In anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) mutants of Sz. japonicus, the nuclear envelope remained relatively intact during anaphase, resulting in impaired semi-open mitosis. As a suppressor of apc2 mutant, a mutation of Oar2, which was a 3-oxoacyl-[acyl carrier protein] reductase, was obtained. The level of the Oar2, which had two destruction-box motifs recognized by APC/C, was increased in APC/C mutants. Furthermore, the defective semi-open mitosis observed in an apc2 mutant was restored by mutated oar2+. Based on these findings, we propose that APC/C regulates the dynamics of the nuclear envelope through degradation of Oar2 dependent on APC/C during the metaphase-to-anaphase transition of semi-open

  {"abstract":"Many eukaryotes assemble a ring-shaped actomyosin network that contracts to drive cytokinesis. Unlike actomyosin in sarcomeres, which cycles through contraction and relaxation, the cytokinetic ring disassembles during contraction through an unknown mechanism. Here we find in  Schizosaccharomyces japonicus  and  Schizosaccharomyces pombe  that, during actomyosin ring contraction, actin filaments associated with actomyosin rings are expelled as micron-scale bundles containing multiple actomyosin ring proteins. Using functional isolated actomyosin rings we show that expulsion of actin bundles does not require continuous presence of cytoplasm. Strikingly, mechanical compression of actomyosin rings results in expulsion of bundles predominantly at regions of high curvature. Our work unprecedentedly reveals that the increased curvature of the ring itself promotes its disassembly. It is likely that such a curvature-induced mechanism may operate in disassembly of other contractile networks.","alleles_by_uniquename":{},"annotation_curators":[{"annotation_count":2,"community_curator":false,"file_name":null,"file_type":null,"name":"Snezhana Oliferenko","orcid":"0000-0002-8138-6851"}],"annotation_details":{},"annotation_file_curators":[],"approved_date":"2021-07-09","authors":"Huang J, Chew TG, Gu Y, Palani S, Kamnev A, Martin DS, Carter NJ, Cross RA, Oliferenko S, Balasubramanian MK","authors_abbrev":"Huang J et al.","canto_added_date":"2021-05-10 08:46:37","canto_annotation_status":"APPROVED","canto_approved_date":"2021-07-09 15:10:46","canto_approver_orcid":"0000-0002-8138-6851","canto_curator_name":"Snezhana Oliferenko","canto_curator_role":"JaponicusDB","canto_first_approved_date":"2021-07-09 15:10:46","canto_session_key":"f47401f00ac444e0","canto_session_submitted_date":"2021-07-09 15:10:39","canto_triage_status":"Curatable","citation":"Elife 2016 10 13;5","cv_annotations":{"cellular_component":[{"annotations":[115374],"is_not":false,"summary":null,"term":"GO:0032432"},{"annotations":[115373],"is_not":false,"summary":null,"term":"GO:0005826"}]},"doi":"10.7554/eLife.21383","gene_count":1,"genes_by_uniquename":{"SJAG_04887":null},"genotypes_by_uniquename":{},"ltp_gene_count":1,"ortholog_annotations":[],"paralog_annotations":[],"physical_interactions":[],"publication_year":"2016","pubmed_entrez_date":"2016-10-14","pubmed_publication_date":"13 10 2016","terms_by_termid":{"GO:0005826":null,"GO:0032432":null},"title":"Curvature-induced expulsion of actomyosin bundles during cytokinetic ring contraction.","uniquename":"PMID:27734801"}

  {"abstract":"Fission yeasts form a small but heterogeneous group of ascomycetes and it is still unclear whether they should be subdivided into three genera (Schizosaccharomyces, Octosporomyces, Hasegawaea) or remain a single genus (Schizosaccharomyces). In order to decide whether a new genus Hasegawaea should be established for the species Schizosaccharomyces japonicus and Schizosaccharomyces versatilis, we have characterized the entire rDNA cluster in Schizosaccharomyces japonicus var. versatilis and compared it with the homologous region from Schizosaccharomyces pombe and with complete rRNA gene sequences from other yeast genera. From a phage genomic library a recombinant lambda phage containing the entire rDNA repeat unit was isolated. In this paper we report the primary sequence of the 18s, 5.8s and 25s rRNA coding regions. The S. japonicus var. versatilis rRNA genes are 1823 (18s), 158 (5.8s) and 3422 (25s) nucleotides long. The two sequences of the larger rRNA genes exhibit 95.7% (18s) and 93% (25s) similarity with the homologous genes from S. pombe. The differences between the rRNA genes of S. japonicus and S. pombe, however, are much smaller than the intrageneric differences within the rDNA sequences of other yeast genera. Therefore, subdivision of fission yeasts into the genera Schizosaccharomyces and Hasegawaea does not to seem to be justified.","alleles_by_uniquename":{},"annotation_curators":[],"annotation_details":{},"annotation_file_curators":[],"authors":"Naehring J, Kiefer S, Wolf K","authors_abbrev":"Naehring J et al.","canto_added_date":"2021-05-10 08:46:37","canto_curator_role":"JaponicusDB","canto_triage_status":"Sequence feature or region","citation":"Curr Genet 1995 Sep;28(4):353-9","cv_annotations":{},"gene_count":0,"genes_by_uniquename":{},"genotypes_by_uniquename":{},"ltp_gene_count":0,"ortholog_annotations":[],"paralog_annotations":[],"physical_interactions":[],"publication_year":"1995","pubmed_entrez_date":"1995-09-01","pubmed_publication_date":"Sep 1995","terms_by_termid":{},"title":"Nucleotide sequence of the Schizosaccharomyces japonicus var. versatilis ribosomal RNA gene cluster and its phylogenetic implications.","uniquename":"PMID:8590481"}

  {"abstract":"Both living and fixed cells of Schizosaccharomyces japonicus var. versatilis showed thread-like mitochondria when studied by phase-contrast and fluorescence microscopy. In the interphase cells, mitochondria extended from pole to pole and converged towards the growing tips. The mitochondrial threads did not disrupt but persisted during mitosis and, subsequently, their bundle was split between the two daughter cells by a concentrically growing septum. Mitochondria in the interphase cells were accompanied by cytoplasmic microtubules. These disappeared during mitosis and, instead, spindle microtubules were formed in the nucleus. The cytoplasmic microtubules reappeared after anaphase B, again in coaligment with mitochondria. Protoplasting as well as the action of microtubule inhibitors methyl-1-(butylcarbamoyl)-2-benzimidazolecarbamate (benomyl) and 2-methylbenzimidazole (MBC) resulted in rapid disintegration of microtubules and, suprisingly, also in disruption of mitochondria into small bodies. Removal of the inhibitors or a short regeneration of protoplasts allowed both the cytoplasmic microtubules and the thread-like mitochondria to reaggregate into the original pattern. Cytochalasin D treatment caused a complete disintegration of actin filaments, while the cytoplasmic microtubules and mitochondria remained intact. These findings of a transient close association of mitochondria and microtubules and their relative independence of the arrangement of actin filaments suggest that microtubules, but not actin cables, form supports for positioning or movement of mitochondria along the cylindrical cells. The persistence of mitochondria in the cell centre during mitosis may be accounted for by the fact that disrupted microtubules fail to provide support for mitochondrial movement towards the cell poles.","alleles_by_uniquename":{},"annotation_curators":[],"annotation_details":{},"annotation_file_curators":[],"authors":"Svoboda A, Slaninová I","authors_abbrev":"Svoboda A et al.","canto_added_date":"2021-05-10 08:46:37","canto_curator_role":"JaponicusDB","canto_triage_status":"Cell composition or WT feature","citation":"Can J Microbiol 1997 Oct;43(10):945-53","cv_annotations":{},"gene_count":0,"genes_by_uniquename":{},"genotypes_by_uniquename":{},"ltp_gene_count":0,"ortholog_annotations":[],"paralog_annotations":[],"physical_interactions":[],"publication_year":"1997","pubmed_entrez_date":"1997-12-13","pubmed_publication_date":"Oct 1997","terms_by_termid":{},"title":"Colocalization of microtubules and mitochondria in the yeast Schizosaccharomyces japonicus var. versatilis.","uniquename":"PMID:9396147"}

  {"abstract":"The fission yeast genus Schizosaccharomyces contains important model organisms for biological research. In particular, S. pombe is a widely used model eukaryote. So far little is known about the natural and artificial habitats of species in this genus. Finding out where S. pombe and other fission yeast species occur and how they live in their habitats can promote better understanding of their biology. Here we investigate in which substrates S. pombe, S. octosporus, S. osmophilus and S. japonicus are present. To this end about 2100 samples consisting of soil, tree sap fluxes, fresh fruit, dried fruit, honey, cacao beans, molasses and other substrates were analyzed. Effective isolation methods that allow efficient isolation of the above mentioned species were developed. Based on the frequency of isolating different fission yeast species in various substrates and on extensive literature survey, conclusions are drawn on their ecology. The results suggest that the primary habitat of S. pombe and S. octosporus is honeybee honey. Both species were also frequently detected on certain dried fruit like raisins, mango or pineapple to which they could be brought by the honey bees during ripening or during drying. While S. pombe was regularly isolated from grape mash and from fermented raw cacao beans S. octosporus was never isolated from fresh fruit. The main habitat of S. osmophilus seems to be solitary bee beebread. It was rarely isolated from raisins. S. japonicus was mainly found in forest substrates although it occurs on fruit and in fruit fermentations, too.","alleles_by_uniquename":{},"annotation_curators":[],"annotation_details":{},"annotation_file_curators":[],"authors":"Brysch-Herzberg M, Jia GS, Seidel M, Assali I, Du LL","authors_abbrev":"Brysch-Herzberg M et al.","canto_added_date":"2023-05-04 00:40:04","canto_curator_role":"JaponicusDB","canto_triage_status":"Phylogeny and evolutionary studies","citation":"Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek 2022 May;115(5):661-695","cv_annotations":{},"doi":"10.1007/s10482-022-01720-0","gene_count":0,"genes_by_uniquename":{},"genotypes_by_uniquename":{},"ltp_gene_count":0,"ortholog_annotations":[],"paralog_annotations":[],"physical_interactions":[],"publication_year":"2022","pubmed_entrez_date":"2022-04-01","pubmed_publication_date":"May 2022","terms_by_termid":{},"title":"Insights into the ecology of Schizosaccharomyces species in natural and artificial habitats.","uniquename":"PMID:35359202"}

  {"abstract":"Strategies to position the division apparatus exhibit a bewildering diversity [1], but how these mechanisms evolve remains virtually unknown. Here, we explore the plasticity of division site positioning in fission yeasts Schizosaccharomyces pombe and Schizosaccharomyces japonicus. We demonstrate that, whereas both species divide in the middle, only S. pombe uses the anillin Mid1 as a primary nucleus-derived cue to assemble the actomyosin ring at the equatorial cortex. We trace this variance to the divergence in subcellular targeting of Mid1 and show that duplication of an ancestral anillin early in the Schizosaccharomyces lineage may have led to subfunctionalization of the Mid1 orthologs. In contrast to S. pombe, medial assembly of the actomyosin ring in mitotic S. japonicus relies on the cortical anchor protein Cdc15 regulated by the tip-localized kinase Pom1. Our data suggest that division site placement is determined by cortical positioning of the actomyosin-plasma membrane linkers and that both identity of the linker and control of its subcellular targeting are highly modular.","alleles_by_uniquename":{"SJAG_00118:allele-1":{"allele_type":"deletion","description":"deletion","gene_uniquename":"SJAG_00118","name":"mid2delta","uniquename":"SJAG_00118:allele-1"},"SJAG_01143:allele-1":{"allele_type":"deletion","description":"deletion","gene_uniquename":"SJAG_01143","name":"mid1delta","uniquename":"SJAG_01143:allele-1"},"SJAG_01143:allele-2":{"allele_type":"partial_amino_acid_deletion","description":"711-723","gene_uniquename":"SJAG_01143","name":"mid1-delta(711-723

  {"abstract":"Schizosaccharomyces japonicus is a dimorphic yeast, transiting between unicellular and hyphal growth. The glycoproteins of fission yeast contain, in addition to mannose (Man), a large number of galactose (Gal) residues. Previously, we reported that the cell-surface O-glycans of S. japonicus comprise mainly tri-saccharides (Gal-Man-Man) as a main component, in contrast to the tetra-saccharides observed in other Schizosaccharomyces species. Here we have investigated the function of cell-surface Gal residues in S. japonicus. Because disruption of gms1 + , encoding the UDP-Gal transporter required for galactomannan synthesis, abolishes cell-surface galactosylation in Schizosaccharomyces pombe, we constructed a deletion mutant of the homologous gene in S. japonicus gms1Δ [gms1 (S.j)] and determined the N- and O-linked oligosaccharide structures present on the cell surface. Disruption of gms1 (S.j) resulted in a complete lack of Gal on the cell surface, indicating that Gms1 plays an essential role in supplying UDP-Gal from the cytoplasm to the Golgi lumen. Analytical microscopy of gms1Δ demonstrated that the lack of cell-surface Gal did not affect cell growth or morphology during vegetative growth. However, hyphal development was blocked in gms1Δ, even in the presence of the topoisomerase I inhibitor camptothecin, which is known to induce hyphal differentiation in wild-type S. japonicus. Collectively, these findings show that Gal-containing oligosaccharides are required for cell wall integrity during filamentous growth in S. japonicus.","alleles_by_uniquename":{"SJAG_04697:allele-1":{"allele_type":"deletion","description":"deletion","gene_uniquename":"SJAG_04697","name":"gms1delta","uniquename":"SJAG_04697:allele-1"}},"annotation_curators":[{"annotation_count":6,"community_curator":false,"file_name":null,"file_type":null,"name":"Snezhana Oliferenko","orcid":"0000-0002-8138-6851"}],"annotation_details":{},"annotation_file_curators":[],"approved_date":"2022-12-01","authors":"Fukunaga T, Ohashi T, Tanaka Y, Yoshimatsu T, Higuchi Y, Maekawa H, Takegawa K","authors_abbrev":"Fukunaga T et al.","canto_added_date":"2022-11-25 12:12:27","canto_annotation_status":"APPROVED","canto_approved_date":"2022-12-01 10:35:53","canto_approver_orcid":"0000-0002-8138-6851","canto_curator_name":"Snezhana Oliferenko","canto_curator_role":"JaponicusDB","canto_first_approved_date":"2022-12-01 10:35:53","canto_session_key":"465355706dc223a3","canto_session_submitted_date":"2022-11-25 12:49:07","canto_triage_status":"Curatable","citation":"J Biosci Bioeng 2022 Nov;134(5):384-392","cv_annotations":{"single_locus_phenotype":[{"annotations":[115470],"is_not":false,"summary":null,"term":"FYPO:0008029"},{"annotations":[115466],"is_not":false,"summary":null,"term":"FYPO:0000082"},{"annotations":[115469],"is_not":false,"summary":null,"term":"FYPO:0007776"},{"annotations":[115468],"is_not":false,"summary":null,"term":"FYPO:0007780"},{"annotations":[115465],"is_not":false,"summary":null,"term":"FYPO:0003727"},{"annotations":[115467],"is_not":false,"summary":null,"term":"FYPO:0000106"}]},"doi":"10.1016/j.jbiosc.2022.07.014","gene_count":1,"genes_by_uniquename":{"SJAG_04697":null},"genotypes_by_uniquename":{"gms1delta":{"display_name":"gms1delta","display_uniquename":"gms1delta","loci":[{"expressed_alleles":[{"allele_uniquename":"SJAG_04697:allele-1","expression":"Null"}]}]}},"ltp_gene_count":1,"ortholog_annotations":[],"paralog_annotations":[],"physical_interactions":[],"publication_year":"2022","pubmed_entrez_date":"2022-09-04","pubmed_publication_date":"Nov 2022","terms_by_termid":{"FYECO:0000004":null,"FYECO:0000005":null,"FYECO:0000126":null,"FYECO:0000137":null,"FYECO:0000314":null,"FYPO:0000082":null,"FYPO:0000106":null,"FYPO:0003727":null,"FYPO:0007776":null,"FYPO:0007780":null,"FYPO:0008029":null,"FYPO_EXT:0000001":null,"FYPO_EXT:0000002":null},"title":"Galactosylation of cell-surface glycoprotein required for hyphal growth and cell wall integrity in Schizosaccharomyces japonicus.","uniquename":"PMID:36058798"}

  {"abstract":"Cytokinesis, which enables the physical separation of daughter cells once mitosis has been completed, is executed in fungal and animal cells by a contractile actin- and myosin-based ring (CAR). In the fission yeast  Schizosaccharomyces pombe,  the formin For3 nucleates actin cables and also co-operates for CAR assembly during cytokinesis. Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) regulate essential adaptive responses in eukaryotic organisms to environmental changes. We show that the stress-activated protein kinase pathway (SAPK) and its effector, MAPK Sty1, downregulates CAR assembly in  S. pombe  when its integrity becomes compromised during cytoskeletal damage and stress by reducing For3 levels. Accurate control of For3 levels by the SAPK pathway may thus represent a novel regulatory mechanism of cytokinesis outcome in response to environmental cues. Conversely, SAPK signaling favors CAR assembly and integrity in its close relative  Schizosaccharomyces japonicus,  revealing a remarkable evolutionary divergence of this response within the fission yeast clade.","alleles_by_uniquename":{"SJAG_00266:allele-1":{"allele_type":"deletion","description":"deletion","gene_uniquename":"SJAG_00266","name":"atf1delta","uniquename":"SJAG_00266:allele-1"},"SJAG_02592:allele-1":{"allele_type":"deletion","description":"deletion","gene_uniquename":"SJAG_02592","name":"sty1delta","uniquename":"SJAG_02592:allele-1"}},"annotation_curators":[{"annotation_count":5,"community_curator":true,"file_name":null,"file_type":null,"name":"Elisa Gómez Gil","orcid":null}],"annotation_details":{},"annotation_file_curators":[],"approved_date":"2021-05-13","authors":"Gómez-Gil E, Martín-García R, Vicente-Soler J, Franco A, Vázquez-Marín B, Prieto-Ruiz F, Soto T, Pérez P, Madrid M, Cansado J","authors_abbrev":"Gómez-Gil E et al.","canto_added_date":"2021-05-10 08:46:37","canto_annotation_status":"APPROVED","canto_approved_date":"2023-06-24 05:18:12","canto_approver_orcid":"0000-0001-6330-7526","canto_curator_name":"Elisa Gómez Gil","canto_curator_role":"community","canto_first_approved_date":"2021-05-13 16:19:42","canto_session_key":"382ba25ae62a1134","canto_session_submitted_date":"2021-05-13 14:28:51","canto_triage_status":"Curatable","citation":"Elife 2020 09 11;9","cv_annotations":{"PSI-MOD":[{"annotations":[115334],"is_not":false,"summary":null,"term":"MOD:00696"}],"biological_process":[{"annotations":[115335],"is_not":false,"summary":null,"term":"GO:1903499"}],"single_locus_phenotype":[{"annotations":[115333],"is_not":false,"summary":null,"term":"FYPO:0002998"},{"annotations":[115331,115332],"is_not":false,"summary":null,"term":"FYPO:0000107"}]},"doi":"10.7554/eLife.57951","gene_count":2,"genes_by_uniquename":{"SJAG_00266":null,"SJAG_02592":null},"genotypes_by_uniquename":{"atf1delta":{"display_name":"atf1delta","display_uniquename":"atf1delta","loci":[{"expressed_alleles":[{"allele_uniquename":"SJAG_00266:allele-1","expression":"Null"}]}]},"sty1delta":{"display_name":"sty1delta","display_uniquename":"sty1delta","loci":[{"expressed_alleles":[{"allele_uniquename":"SJAG_02592:allele-1","expression":"Null"}]}]}},"ltp_gene_count":2,"ortholog_annotations":[],"paralog_annotations":[],"physical_interactions":[],"publication_year":"2020","pubmed_entrez_date":"2020-09-11","pubmed_publication_date":"11 09 2020","terms_by_termid":{"FYECO:0000137":null,"FYECO:0000248":null,"FYPO:0000107":null,"FYPO:0002998":null,"FYPO_EXT:0000001":null,"GO:0120306":null,"GO:1903499":null,"MOD:00696":null},"title":"Stress-activated MAPK signaling controls fission yeast actomyosin ring integrity by modulating formin For3 levels.","uniquename":"PMID:32915139"}

  {"abstract":"Schizosaccharomyces japonicus is a fission yeast for which new genetic tools have recently been developed. Here, we report novel plasmid vectors with high transformation efficiency and an electroporation method for Sz. japonicus. We isolated 44 replicating segments from 12 166 transformants of Sz. japonicus genomic fragments and found a chromosomal fragment, RS1, as a new replicating sequence that conferred high transformation activity to Sz. japonicus cells. This sequence was cloned into a pUC19 vector with ura4(+) of Sz. pombe (pSJU11) or the kan gene on the kanMX6 module (pSJK11) as selection markers. These plasmids transformed Sz. japonicus cells in the early-log phase by electroporation at a frequency of 123 cfu/µg for pSJK11 and 301 cfu/µg for pSJU11, which were higher than previously reported autonomously replicating sequences. Although a portion of plasmids remained in host cells by integration into the chromosome via RS1 segment, the plasmids could be recovered from transformants. The plasmid copy number was estimated to be 1.88 copies per cell by Southern blot analysis using a Sz. pombe ura4(+) probe. The plasmid containing ade6(+) suppressed the auxotrophic growth of the ade6-domE mutant, indicating that the plasmid would be useful for suppressor screening and complementation assays in Sz. japonicus. Furthermore, pSJU11 transformed Sz. pombe cells with the same frequency as the pREP2 plasmid.

  {"abstract":"The cells of Schizosaccharomyces japonicus var. versatilis responded to the presence of cytochalasin D (CD), an inhibitor of actin polymerization, by the disappearance of contractile actin rings (ARs) that had already formed and by inhibition of new ring formation. Actin cables disappeared. Actin patches remained preserved and became co-localized with regions of actual cell wall formation (at cell poles and at the site of septum development). Removal of the AR arrested formation of the primary septum and led to the production of aberrant septum protrusions in that region. Nuclear division was accomplished in the presence of CD but new ARs were not produced. The wall (septum) material was deposited in the form of a wide band at the inner surface of the lateral cell wall in the cell centre. This layer showed a thin fibrillar structure. The removal of CD resulted in rapid formation of new ARs in the equatorial region of the cells. This implies that the signal for AR localization was not abolished either by CD effects or by removal of an AR already formed. Some of the newly developed ARs showed atypical localization and orientation. In addition, redundant, subcortically situated actin bundles were produced. The removal of CD was quickly followed by the development of primary septa co-localized with ARs. Wall protrusions occurred co-localized with the redundant actin bundles. If these were completed in a circle, redundant septa developed. The AR is a mechanism which, in time and space, triggers cytokinesis by building a septum sequentially dependent on the AR. Aberrant septa were not capable of separating daughter cells. However, non-separated daughter cells subsequently gave rise to normal cells.","alleles_by_uniquename":{},"annotation_curators":[],"annotation_details":{},"annotation_file_curators":[],"authors":"Gabriel M, Horký D, Svoboda A, Kopecká M","authors_abbrev":"Gabriel M et al.","canto_added_date":"2021-05-10 08:46:37","canto_curator_role":"JaponicusDB","canto_triage_status":"Cell composition or WT feature","citation":"Microbiology (Reading) 1998 Aug;144 ( Pt 8):2331-2344","cv_annotations":{},"doi":"10.1099/00221287-144-8-2331","gene_count":0,"genes_by_uniquename":{},"genotypes_by_uniquename":{},"ltp_gene_count":0,"ortholog_annotations":[],"paralog_annotations":[],"physical_interactions":[],"publication_year":"1998","pubmed_entrez_date":"1998-08-28","pubmed_publication_date":"Aug 1998","terms_by_termid":{},"title":"Cytochalasin D interferes with contractile actin ring and septum formation in Schizosaccharomyces japonicus var. versatilis.","uniquename":"PMID:9720056"}

  {"abstract":"In most fungi, quinone-dependent Class-II dihydroorotate dehydrogenases (DHODs) are essential for pyrimidine biosynthesis. Coupling of these Class-II DHODHs to mitochondrial respiration makes their in vivo activity dependent on oxygen availability. Saccharomyces cerevisiae and closely related yeast species harbor a cytosolic Class-I DHOD (Ura1) that uses fumarate as electron acceptor and thereby enables anaerobic pyrimidine synthesis. Here, we investigate DHODs from three fungi (the Neocallimastigomycete Anaeromyces robustus and the yeasts Schizosaccharomyces japonicus and Dekkera bruxellensis) that can grow anaerobically but, based on genome analysis, only harbor a Class-II DHOD.\nHeterologous expression of putative Class-II DHOD-encoding genes from fungi capable of anaerobic, pyrimidine-prototrophic growth (Arura9, SjURA9, DbURA9) in an S. cerevisiae ura1Δ strain supported aerobic as well as anaerobic pyrimidine prototrophy. A strain expressing DbURA9 showed delayed anaerobic growth without pyrimidine supplementation. Adapted faster growing DbURA9-expressing strains showed mutations in FUM1, which encodes fumarase. GFP-tagged SjUra9 and DbUra9 were localized to S. cerevisiae mitochondria, while ArUra9, whose sequence lacked a mitochondrial targeting sequence, was localized to the yeast cytosol. Experiments with cell extracts showed that ArUra9 used free FAD and FMN as electron acceptors. Expression of SjURA9 in S. cerevisiae reproducibly led to loss of respiratory competence and mitochondrial DNA. A cysteine residue (C265 in SjUra9) in the active sites of all three anaerobically active Ura9 orthologs was shown to be essential for anaerobic activity of SjUra9 but not of ArUra9.\nActivity of fungal Class-II DHODs was long thought to be dependent on an active respiratory chain, which in most fungi requires the presence of oxygen. By heterologous expression experiments in S. cerevisiae, this study shows that phylogenetically distant fungi independently evolved Class-II dihydroorotate dehydrogenases that enable anaerobic pyrimidine biosynthesis. Further structure-function studies are required to understand the mechanistic basis for the anaerobic activity of Class-II DHODs and an observed loss of respiratory competence in S. cerevisiae strains expressing an anaerobically active DHOD from Sch. japonicus.","alleles_by_uniquename":{},"annotation_curators":[],"annotation_details":{},"annotation_file_curators":[],"authors":"Bouwknegt J, Koster CC, Vos AM, Ortiz-Merino RA, Wassink M, Luttik MAH, van den Broek M, Hagedoorn PL, Pronk JT","authors_abbrev":"Bouwknegt J et al.","canto_added_date":"2023-05-04 00:40:04","canto_curator_role":"JaponicusDB","canto_triage_status":"Cell composition or WT feature","citation":"Fungal Biol Biotechnol 2021 Oct 16;8(1):10","cv_annotations":{},"doi":"10.1186/s40694-021-00117-4","gene_count":0,"genes_by_uniquename":{},"genotypes_by_uniquename":{},"ltp_gene_count":0,"ortholog_annotations":[],"paralog_annotations":[],"physical_interactions":[],"publication_year":"2021","pubmed_entrez_date":"2021-10-17","pubmed_publication_date":"16 Oct 2021","terms_by_termid":{},"title":"Class-II dihydroorotate dehydrogenases from three phylogenetically distant fungi support anaerobic pyrimidine biosynthesis.","uniquename":"PMID:34656184"}

  {"abstract":"Membrane function is fundamental to life. Each species explores membrane lipid diversity within a genetically predefined range of possibilities. How membrane lipid composition in turn defines the functional space available for evolution of membrane-centered processes remains largely unknown. We address this fundamental question using related fission yeasts Schizosaccharomyces pombe and Schizosaccharomyces japonicus. We show that, unlike S. pombe that generates membranes where both glycerophospholipid acyl tails are predominantly 16-18 carbons long, S. japonicus synthesizes unusual \"asymmetrical\" glycerophospholipids where the tails differ in length by 6-8 carbons. This results in stiffer bilayers with distinct lipid packing properties. Retroengineered S. pombe synthesizing the S.-japonicus-type phospholipids exhibits unfolded protein response and downregulates secretion. Importantly, our protein sequence comparisons and domain swap experiments support the hypothesis that transmembrane helices co-evolve with membranes, suggesting that, on the evolutionary scale, changes in membrane lipid composition may necessitate extensive adaptation of the membrane-associated proteome.","alleles_by_uniquename":{"SJAG_01458:allele-1":{"allele_type":"deletion","description":"deletion","gene_uniquename":"SJAG_01458","name":"acb1delta","uniquename":"SJAG_01458:allele-1"}},"annotation_curators":[{"annotation_count":4,"community_curator":false,"file_name":null,"file_type":null,"name":"Snezhana Oliferenko","orcid":"0000-0002-8138-6851"}],"annotation_details":{},"annotation_file_curators":[],"approved_date":"2021-07-09","authors":"Makarova M, Peter M, Balogh G, Glatz A, MacRae JI, Lopez Mora N, Booth P, Makeyev E, Vigh L, Oliferenko S","authors_abbrev":"Makarova M et al.","canto_added_date":"2021-05-10 02:37:19","canto_annotation_status":"APPROVED","canto_approved_date":"2021-07-09 13:38:09","canto_approver_orcid":"0000-0002-8138-6851","canto_curator_name":"Snezhana Oliferenko","canto_curator_role":"JaponicusDB","canto_first_approved_date":"2021-07-09 13:38:09","canto_session_key":"801e82954edbb6c1","canto_session_submitted_date":"2021-07-09 13:38:00","canto_triage_status":"Curatable","citation":"Curr Biol 2020 02 03;30(3):367-380.e8","cv_annotations":{"cellular_component":[{"annotations":[115328],"is_not":false,"summary":null,"term":"GO:0005801"},{"annotations":[115330],"is_not":false,"summary":null,"term":"GO:0005829"}],"single_locus_phenotype":[{"annotations":[115329],"is_not":false,"summary":null,"term":"FYPO:0000719"}]},"doi":"10.1016/j.cub.2019.11.043","gene_count":4,"genes_by_uniquename":{"SJAG_00816":null,"SJAG_01458":null,"SJAG_04107":null,"SJAG_04972":null},"genotypes_by_uniquename":{"acb1delta":{"display_name":"acb1delta","display_uniquename":"acb1delta","loci":[{"expressed_alleles":[{"allele_uniquename":"SJAG_01458:allele-1","expression":"Null"}]}]}},"ltp_gene_count":4,"ortholog_annotations":[],"paralog_annotations":[],"physical_interactions":[{"evidence":"Co-purification","gene_uniquename":"SJAG_04972","interactor_uniquename":"SJAG_04107","reference_uniquename":"PMID:31956022","throughput":"low"}],"publication_year":"2020","pubmed_entrez_date":"2020-01-21","pubmed_publication_date":"03 02 2020","terms_by_termid":{"FYECO:0000126":null,"FYPO:0000719":null,"GO:0005801":null,"GO:0005829":null},"title":"Delineating the Rules for Structural Adaptation of Membrane-Associated Proteins to Evolutionary Changes in Membrane Lipidome.","uniquename":"PMID:31956022"}

  {"abstract":"The nuclear envelope (NE) undergoes dynamic remodeling to maintain NE integrity, a process involving the inner nuclear membrane protein LEM2 recruiting CHMP7/Cmp7 and then ESCRT-III. However, prior work has hinted at CHMP7/ESCRT-independent mechanisms. To identify such mechanisms, we studied NE assembly in Schizosaccharomyces japonicus, a fission yeast that undergoes partial mitotic NE breakdown and reassembly. S. japonicus cells lacking Cmp7 have compromised NE sealing after mitosis but are viable. A genetic screen identified mutations that promote NE integrity in cmp7Δ cells. Unexpectedly, loss of Lem2 or its interacting partner Nur1 suppressed cmp7Δ defects. In the absence of Cmp7, Lem2 formed aggregates that appear to interfere with ESCRT-independent NE sealing. A gain-of-function mutation implicated a membrane and ESCRT-III regulator, Alx1, in this alternate pathway. Additional results suggest a potentially general role for unsaturated fatty acids in NE integrity. These findings establish the existence of mechanisms for NE sealing independent of the canonical ESCRT pathway.","alleles_by_uniquename":{"SJAG_01242:allele-1":{"allele_type":"deletion","description":"deletion","gene_uniquename":"SJAG_01242","name":"vps32delta","uniquename":"SJAG_01242:allele-1"},"SJAG_01745:allele-1":{"allele_type":"deletion","description":"deletion","gene_uniquename":"SJAG_01745","name":"lem2delta","uniquename":"SJAG_01745:allele-1"},"SJAG_03891:allele-1":{"allele_type":"deletion","description":"deletion","gene_uniquename":"SJAG_03891","name":"alx1delta","uniquename":"SJAG_03891:allele-1"},"SJAG_05207:allele-1":{"allele_type":"deletion","description":"deletion","gene_uniquename":"SJAG_05207","name":"cmp7delta","uniquename":"SJAG_05207:allele-1"}},"annotation_curators":[{"annotation_count":21,"community_curator":false,"file_name":null,"file_type":null,"name":"Snezhana

  {"abstract":"A Hidden Markov Model (HMM) is a statistical representation of patterns found in a data set. When using HMMs with proteins, the HMM is a statistical model of the patterns of the amino acids found in a multiple alignment of a set of proteins called the \"seed\". Seed proteins are chosen based on sequence similarity to each other. Seed members can be chosen with different levels of relationship to each other. They can be members of a superfamily (ex. ABC transporter, ATP-binding proteins), they can all share the same exact specific function (ex. biotin synthase) or they could share another type of relationship of intermediate specificity (ex. subfamily, domain). New proteins can be scored against the model generated from the seed according to how closely the patterns of amino acids in the new proteins match those in the seed. There are two scores assigned to the HMM which allow annotators to judge how well any new protein scores to the model. Proteins scoring above the \"trusted cutoff\" score can be assumed to be part of the group defined by the seed. Proteins scoring below the \"noise cutoff\" score can be assumed to NOT be a part of the group. Proteins scoring between the trusted and noise cutoffs may be part of the group but may not. One of the important features of HMMs is that they are built from a multiple alignment of protein sequences, not a pairwise alignment. This is significant, since shared similarity between many proteins is much more likely to indicate shared functional relationship than sequence similarity between just two proteins. The usefulness of an HMM is directly related to the amount of care that is taken in chosing the seed members, building a good multiple alignment of the seed members, assessing the level of specificity of the model, and choosing the cutoff scores correctly. In order to properly assess what functional relevance an above-trusted scoring HMM match has to a query, one must carefully determine what the functional scope of the HMM is. If the HMM models proteins that all share the same function then it is likely possible to assign a specific function to high-scoring match proteins based on the HMM. If the HMM models proteins that have a wide variety of functions, then it will not be possible to assign a specific function to the query based on the HMM match, however, depending on the nature of the HMM in question, it may be possible to assign a more general (family or subfamily level) function. In order to determine the functional scope of an HMM, one must carefully read the documentation associated with the HMM. The annotator must also consider whether the function attributed to the proteins in the HMM makes sense for the query based on what is known about the organism in which the query protein resides and in light of any other information that might be available about the query protein. After carefully considering all of these issues the annotator makes an annotation.","alleles_by_uniquename":{},"annotation_curators":[],"annotation_details":{},"annotation_file_curators":[],"authors":"Michelle Gwinn, TIGR curators","canto_curator_role":"JaponicusDB","cv_annotations":{},"gene_count":0,"genes_by_uniquename":{},"genotypes_by_uniquename":{},"ltp_gene_count":0,"ortholog_annotations":[],"paralog_annotations":[],"physical_interactions":[],"terms_by_termid":{},"title":"Hidden Markov Models (TIGR)","uniquename":"GO_REF:0000011"}

Codon use correlates with tRNA gene copy number in noncomplex organisms including yeasts. Synonymous codons impact translation with various outcomes, dependent on relative tRNA abundances. Availability of whole-genome sequences allowed us to examine tRNA gene copy number variation (tgCNV) and codon use in four Schizosaccharomyces species and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. tRNA gene numbers vary from 171 to 322 in the four Schizosaccharomyces despite very high similarity in other features of their genomes. In addition, we performed whole-genome sequencing of several related laboratory strains of Schizosaccharomyces pombe and found tgCNV at a cluster of tRNA genes. We examined for the first time effects of wobble rules on correlation of tRNA gene number and codon use and showed improvement for S. cerevisiae and three of the Schizosaccharomyces species. In contrast, correlation in Schizosaccharomyces japonicus is poor due to markedly divergent tRNA gene content, and much worsened by the wobble rules. In japonicus, some tRNA iso-acceptor genes are absent and others are greatly reduced relative to the other yeasts, while genes for synonymous wobble iso-acceptors are amplified, indicating wobble use not apparent in any other eukaryote. We identified a subset of japonicus-specific wobbles that improves correlation of codon use and tRNA gene content in japonicus. We conclude that tgCNV is high among Schizo species and occurs in related laboratory strains of S. pombe (and expectedly other species), and tRNAome-codon analyses can provide insight into species-specific wobble decoding.","alleles_by_uniquename":{},"annotation_curators":[],"annotation_details":{},"annotation_file_curators":[],"authors":"Iben JR, Maraia RJ","authors_abbrev":"Iben JR et al.","canto_added_date":"2021-05-10 08:46:37","canto_curator_role":"JaponicusDB","canto_triage_status":"Sequence feature or region","citation":"RNA 2012 Jul;18(7):1358-72","cv_annotations":{},"doi":"10.1261/rna.032151.111","gene_count":0,"genes_by_uniquename":{},"genotypes_by_uniquename":{},"ltp_gene_count":0,"ortholog_annotations":[],"paralog_annotations":[],"physical_interactions":[],"publication_year":"2012","pubmed_entrez_date":"2012-05-16","pubmed_publication_date":"Jul 2012","terms_by_termid":{},"title":"tRNAomics: tRNA gene copy number variation and codon use provide bioinformatic evidence of a new anticodon:codon wobble pair in a eukaryote.","uniquename":"PMID:22586155"}

  {"abstract":"Tropomyosins are structurally conserved α-helical coiled-coil proteins that bind along the length of filamentous actin (F-actin) in fungi and animals. Tropomyosins play essential roles in the stability of actin filaments and in regulating myosin II contractility. Despite the crucial role of tropomyosin in actin cytoskeletal regulation, in vivo investigations of tropomyosin are limited, mainly due to the suboptimal live-cell imaging tools currently available. Here, we report on an mNeonGreen (mNG)-tagged tropomyosin, with native promoter and linker length configuration, that clearly reports tropomyosin dynamics in Schizosaccharomyces pombe (Cdc8), Schizosaccharomyces japonicus (Cdc8) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Tpm1 and Tpm2). We also describe a fluorescent probe to visualize mammalian tropomyosin (TPM2 isoform). Finally, we generated a camelid nanobody against S. pombe Cdc8, which mimics the localization of mNG-Cdc8 in vivo. Using these tools, we report the presence of tropomyosin in previously unappreciated patch-like structures in fission and budding yeasts, show flow of tropomyosin (F-actin) cables to the cytokinetic actomyosin ring and identify rearrangements of the actin cytoskeleton during mating. These powerful tools and strategies will aid better analyses of tropomyosin and F-actin cables in vivo.","alleles_by_uniquename":{},"annotation_curators":[{"annotation_count":3,"community_curator":false,"file_name":null,"file_type":null,"name":"Snezhana Oliferenko","orcid":"0000-0002-8138-6851"}],"annotation_details":{},"annotation_file_curators":[],"approved_date":"2022-11-25","authors":"Hatano T, Lim TC, Billault-Chaumartin I, Dhar A, Gu Y, Massam-Wu T, Scott W, Adishesha S, Chapa-Y-Lazo B, Springall L, Sivashanmugam L, Mishima M, Martin SG, Oliferenko S, Palani S, Balasubramanian MK","authors_abbrev":"Hatano T et al.","canto_added_date":"2022-11-25 12:03:53","canto_annotation_status":"APPROVED","canto_approved_date":"2022-11-25 12:11:22","canto_approver_orcid":"0000-0002-8138-6851","canto_curator_name":"Snezhana Oliferenko","canto_curator_role":"JaponicusDB","canto_first_approved_date":"2022-11-25 12:11:22","canto_session_key":"d572e8fc7f8a7a38","canto_session_submitted_date":"2022-11-25 12:11:07","canto_triage_status":"Curatable","citation":"J Cell Sci 2022 Sep 15;135(18)","cv_annotations":{"cellular_component":[{"annotations":[115220],"is_not":false,"summary":null,"term":"GO:0070648"},{"annotations":[115222],"is_not":false,"summary":null,"term":"GO:1990819"},{"annotations":[115221],"is_not":false,"summary":null,"term":"GO:0110085"}]},"doi":"10.1242/jcs.260288","gene_count":1,"genes_by_uniquename":{"SJAG_04887":null},"genotypes_by_uniquename":{},"ltp_gene_count":1,"ortholog_annotations":[],"paralog_annotations":[],"physical_interactions":[],"publication_year":"2022","pubmed_entrez_date":"2022-09-23","pubmed_publication_date":"15 Sep 2022","terms_by_termid":{"GO:0070648":null,"GO:0110085":null,"GO:1990819":null},"title":"mNG-tagged fusion proteins and nanobodies to visualize tropomyosins in yeast and mammalian cells.","uniquename":"PMID:36148799"}

  {"abstract":"Making wine via spontaneous fermentation without sulfur dioxide and commercial yeast (spontaneous winemaking) is increasing in recent year, but there is scant research regarding microbial communities present in Japan during spontaneous winemaking using culture-independent molecular methods. We analyzed fungal communities and populations during laboratory-scale spontaneous winemaking using sterilized labware to avoid winery-resident microbes. In the spontaneous fermentation of four grape varieties (Pinot Noir, Riesling, Koshu, and Koshusanjaku) grown in the same Japanese vineyard, our analysis of yeast and other fungal species by next-generation sequencing based on the ITS1 region demonstrated that Saccharomyces cerevisiae was eventually dominant in seven of 12 fermentation batches (three replications for each grape variety), whereas non-Saccharomyces species (e.g., Schizosaccharomyces japonicus, Lachancea dasiensis, and Hanseniaspora valbyensis) became dominant in four batches at the end of fermentation. In another batch, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) became dominant and the fermentation remained incomplete. Diverse microbes were involved in the spontaneous fermentation (particularly in Koshusanjaku), indicating that residual sugar remained and lactic and acetic acid largely increased. Compared to the control wine made with SO 2  and commercial yeast, the concentration of lactic acid was 47-fold higher in the must dominated by L. dasiensis, and the concentrations of acetic acid and lactic acid were 10-fold and 20-fold higher in the must dominated by LAB, respectively. Even when indigenous S. cerevisiae became dominant, the finished wines obtained high sensory-analysis scores for complexity but low scores for varietal typicality, indicating the risk of fermentation with unselected wild yeast on the grapes grown in Japan.","alleles_by_uniquename":{},"annotation_curators":[],"annotation_details":{},"annotation_file_curators":[],"authors":"Shimizu H, Kamada A, Koyama K, Iwashita K, Goto-Yamamoto N","authors_abbrev":"Shimizu H et al.","canto_added_date":"2023-05-04 00:40:03","canto_curator_role":"JaponicusDB","canto_triage_status":"Cell composition or WT feature","citation":"J Biosci Bioeng 2023 Apr 21;","cv_annotations":{},"doi":"10.1016/j.jbiosc.2023.03.013","gene_count":0,"genes_by_uniquename":{},"genotypes_by_uniquename":{},"ltp_gene_count":0,"ortholog_annotations":[],"paralog_annotations":[],"physical_interactions":[],"publication_year":"2023","pubmed_entrez_date":"2023-04-23","pubmed_publication_date":"21 Apr 2023","terms_by_termid":{},"title":"Yeast diversity during the spontaneous fermentation of wine with only the microbiota on grapes cultivated in Japan.","uniquename":"PMID:37088673"}

  {"abstract":"Fungal pathogens, from phytopathogenic fungus to human pathogens, are able to alternate between the yeast-like form and filamentous forms. This morphological transition (dimorphism) is in close connection with their pathogenic lifestyles and with their responses to changing environmental conditions. The mechanisms governing these morphogenetic conversions are still not fully understood. Therefore, we studied the filamentous growth of the less-known, non-pathogenic dimorphic fission yeast, S. japonicus, which belongs to an ancient and early evolved branch of the Ascomycota. Its RNA sequencing revealed that several hundred genes were up- or down-regulated in the hyphae compared to the yeast-phase cells. These genes belonged to different GO categories, confirming that mycelial growth is a rather complex process. The genes of transport- and metabolic processes appeared especially in high numbers among them. High expression of genes involved in glycolysis and ethanol production was found in the hyphae, while other results pointed to the regulatory role of the protein kinase A (PKA) pathway. The homologues of 49 S. japonicus filament-associated genes were found by sequence alignments also in seven distantly related dimorphic and filamentous species. The comparative genomic analyses between S. japonicus and the closely related but non-dimorphic S. pombe shed some light on the differences in their genomes. All these data can contribute to a better understanding of hyphal growth and those genomic rearrangements that underlie it.","alleles_by_uniquename":{},"annotation_curators":[{"annotation_count":2,"community_curator":true,"file_name":null,"file_type":null,"name":"Ida Miklos","orcid":"0000-0002-7074-4019"}],"annotation_details":{},"annotation_file_curators":[],"approved_date":"2021-10-06","authors":"Papp LA, Ács-Szabó L, Batta G, Miklós I","authors_abbrev":"Papp LA et al.","canto_added_date":"2021-09-29 13:11:40","canto_annotation_status":"APPROVED","canto_approved_date":"2021-10-06 13:34:09","canto_approver_orcid":"0000-0002-8138-6851","canto_curator_name":"Ida Miklos","canto_curator_role":"community","canto_first_approved_date":"2021-10-06 13:34:09","canto_session_key":"acb5c82405799ef1","canto_session_submitted_date":"2021-09-29 13:38:18","canto_triage_status":"Curatable","citation":"Curr Genet 2021 Dec;67(6):953-968","cv_annotations":{"biological_process":[{"annotations":[115463,115464],"is_not":false,"summary":null,"term":"GO:0030448"}]},"doi":"10.1007/s00294-021-01206-y","gene_count":2,"genes_by_uniquename":{"SJAG_00124":null,"SJAG_04312":null},"genotypes_by_uniquename":{},"ltp_gene_count":2,"ortholog_annotations":[],"paralog_annotations":[],"physical_interactions":[],"publication_year":"2021","pubmed_entrez_date":"2021-08-24","pubmed_publication_date":"Dec 2021","terms_by_termid":{"GO:0030448":null},"title":"Molecular and comparative genomic analyses reveal evolutionarily conserved and unique features of the Schizosaccharomyces japonicus mycelial growth and the underlying genomic changes.","uniquename":"PMID:34427722"}

  {"abstract":"The fission yeasts (Schizosaccharomyces) representing a highly divergent phylogenetic branch of Fungi evolved from filamentous ancestors by gradual transition from mycelial growth to yeast morphology. For the transition, a mechanism had been developed that separates the sister cells after the completion of cytokinesis. Numerous components of the separation mechanism have been characterised in Schizosaccharomycespombe, including the zinc-finger transcription factor Ace2p and the fork-head transcription factor Sep1p. Here we show that both regulators have regions conserved within the genus. The most conserved parts contain the DNA-binding domains whose amino-acid sequences perfectly reflect the phylogenetic positions of the species. The less conserved parts of the proteins contain sequence blocks specific for the whole genus or only for the species propagating predominantly or exclusively as yeasts. Inactivation of either gene in the dimorphic species Schizosaccharomycesjaponicus abolished cell separation in the yeast phase conferring hypha-like morphology but did not change the growth pattern to unipolar and did not cause extensive polar vacuolation characteristic of the true mycelium. Neither mutation affected the mycelial phase, but both mutations hampered the hyphal fragmentation at the mycelium-to-yeast transition. Ace2p(Sj) acts downstream of Sep1p(Sj) and regulates the orthologues of the Ace2p-dependent S.pombe genes agn1(+) (1,3-alpha-glucanase) and eng1(+) (1,3-beta-glucanase) but does not regulate the orthologue of cfh4(+) (chitin synthase regulatory factor). These results and the complementation of the cell separation defects of the ace2(-) and sep1(-) mutations of S.pombe by heterologously expressed ace2(Sj) and sep1(Sj) indicate that the cell separation mechanism is conserved in the Schizosaccharomyces genus.","alleles_by_uniquename":{"SJAG_02252:allele-1":{"allele_type":"deletion","description":"deletion","gene_uniquename":"SJAG_02252","name":"ace2delta","uniquename":"SJAG_02252:allele-1"},"SJAG_03143:allele-1":{"allele_type":"deletion","description":"deletion","gene_uniquename":"SJAG_03143","name":"sep1delta","uniquename":"SJAG_03143:allele-1"}},"annotation_curators":[{"annotation_count":7,"community_curator":false,"file_name":null,"file_type":null,"name":"Snezhana Oliferenko","orcid":"0000-0002-8138-6851"}],"annotation_details":{},"annotation_file_curators":[],"approved_date":"2022-12-09","authors":"Balazs A, Batta G, Miklos I, Acs-Szabo L, Vazquez de Aldana CR, Sipiczki M","authors_abbrev":"Balazs A et al.","canto_added_date":"2022-12-09 17:19:01","canto_annotation_status":"APPROVED","canto_approved_date":"2022-12-09 17:39:12","canto_approver_orcid":"0000-0002-8138-6851","canto_curator_name":"Snezhana Oliferenko","canto_curator_role":"JaponicusDB","canto_first_approved_date":"2022-12-09 17:39:12","canto_session_key":"f106e12e6366fbad","canto_session_submitted_date":"2022-12-09 17:38:34","canto_triage_status":"Curatable","citation":"Fungal Genet Biol 2012 Mar;49(3):235-49","cv_annotations":{"single_locus_phenotype":[{"annotations":[115422,115423],"is_not":false,"summary":null,"term":"FYPO:0006557"}]},"doi":"10.1016/j.fgb.2012.01.003","gene_count":2,"genes_by_uniquename":{"SJAG_02252":null,"SJAG_03143":null},"genotypes_by_uniquename":{"ace2delta":{"display_name":"ace2delta","display_uniquename":"ace2delta","loci":[{"expressed_alleles":[{"allele_uniquename":"SJAG_02252:allele-1","expression":"Null"}]}]},"sep1delta":{"display_name":"sep1delta","display_uniquename":"sep1delta","loci":[{"expressed_alleles":[{"allele_uniquename":"SJAG_03143:allele-1","expression":"Null"}]}]}},"ltp_gene_count":2,"ortholog_annotations":[],"paralog_annotations":[],"physical_interactions":[],"publication_year":"2012","pubmed_entrez_date":"2012-02-04","pubmed_publication_date":"Mar 2012","terms_by_termid":{"FYECO:0000137":null,"FYPO:0006557":null,"FYPO_EXT:0000001":null,"FYPO_EXT:0000002":null},"title":"Conserved regulators of the cell separation process in Schizosaccharomyces.","uniquename":"PMID:22300943"}

  {"abstract":"Mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways execute essential functions in eukaryotic organisms by transducing extracellular stimuli into adaptive cellular responses. In the fission yeast model  Schizosaccharomyces pombe  the cell integrity pathway (CIP) and its core effector, MAPK Pmk1, play a key role during regulation of cell integrity, cytokinesis, and ionic homeostasis.  Schizosaccharomyces japonicus , another fission yeast species, shows remarkable differences with respect to  S. pombe , including a robust yeast to hyphae dimorphism in response to environmental changes. We show that the CIP MAPK module architecture and its upstream regulators, PKC orthologs Pck1 and Pck2, are conserved in both fission yeast species. However, some of  S. pombe 's CIP-related functions, such as cytokinetic control and response to glucose availability, are regulated differently in  S. japonicus.  Moreover, Pck1 and Pck2 antagonistically regulate  S. japonicus  hyphal differentiation through fine-tuning of Pmk1 activity. Chimeric MAPK-swapping experiments revealed that  S. japonicus  Pmk1 is fully functional in  S. pombe , whereas  S. pombe  Pmk1 shows a limited ability to execute CIP functions and promote  S. japonicus  mycelial development. Our findings also suggest that a modified N-lobe domain secondary structure within  S. japonicus  Pmk1 has a major influence on the CIP signaling features of this evolutionarily diverged fission

  {"abstract":"The clade of Schizosaccharomyces includes 4 species: S. pombe, S. octosporus, S. cryophilus, and S. japonicus. Although all 4 species exhibit unicellular growth with a binary fission mode of cell division, S. japonicus alone is dimorphic yeast, which can transit from unicellular yeast to long filamentous hyphae. Recently it was found that the hyphal cells response to light and then synchronously activate cytokinesis of hyphae. In addition to hyphal growth, S. japonicas has many properties that aren't shared with other fission yeast. Mitosis of S. japonicas is referred to as semi-open mitosis because dynamics of nuclear membrane is an intermediate mode between open mitosis and closed mitosis. Novel genetic tools and the whole genomic sequencing of S. japonicas now provide us with an opportunity for revealing unique characters of the dimorphic yeast.","alleles_by_uniquename":{},"annotation_curators":[],"annotation_details":{},"annotation_file_curators":[],"authors":"Niki H","authors_abbrev":"Niki H","canto_added_date":"2021-05-10 08:46:37","canto_curator_role":"JaponicusDB","canto_triage_status":"Review or comment","citation":"Yeast 2014 Mar;31(3):83-90","cv_annotations":{},"doi":"10.1002/yea.2996","gene_count":0,"genes_by_uniquename":{},"genotypes_by_uniquename":{},"ltp_gene_count":0,"ortholog_annotations":[],"paralog_annotations":[],"physical_interactions":[],"publication_year":"2014","pubmed_entrez_date":"2013-12-31","pubmed_publication_date":"Mar 2014","terms_by_termid":{},"title":"Schizosaccharomyces japonicus: the fission yeast is a fusion of yeast and hyphae.","uniquename":"PMID:24375690"}

  {"abstract":"RNA interference (RNAi) is a conserved mechanism of small RNA-mediated genome regulation commonly involved in suppression of transposable elements (TEs) through both post-transcriptional silencing, and transcriptional repression via heterochromatin assembly. The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe has been extensively utilised as a model for studying RNAi pathways. However, this species is somewhat atypical in that TEs are not major targets of RNAi, and instead small RNAs correspond primarily to non-coding pericentromeric repeat sequences, reflecting a specialised role for the pathway in promoting heterochromatin assembly in these regions. In contrast, in the related fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces japonicus, sequenced small RNAs correspond primarily to TEs. This suggests there may be fundamental differences in the operation of RNAi pathways in these two related species. To investigate these differences, we probed RNAi function in S. japonicus. Unexpectedly, and in contrast to S. pombe, we found that RNAi is essential in this species. Moreover, viability of RNAi mutants can be rescued by mutations implicated in enhancing RNAi-independent heterochromatin propagation. These rescued strains retain heterochromatic marks on TE sequences, but exhibit derepression of TEs at the post-transcriptional level. Our findings indicate that S. japonicus retains the ancestral role of RNAi in facilitating suppression of TEs via both post-transcriptional silencing and heterochromatin assembly, with specifically the heterochromatin pathway being essential for viability, likely due to a function in genome maintenance. The specialised role of RNAi in heterochromatin assembly in S. pombe appears to be a derived state that emerged after the divergence of S. japonicus.","alleles_by_uniquename":{"SJAG_02409:allele-1":{"allele_type":"deletion","description":"deletion","gene_uniquename":"SJAG_02409","name":"stc1delta","uniquename":"SJAG_02409:allele-1"},"SJAG_02594:allele-1":{"allele_type":"deletion","description":"deletion","gene_uniquename":"SJAG_02594","name":"arb1delta","uniquename":"SJAG_02594:allele-1"},"SJAG_02621:allele-1":{"allele_type":"deletion","description":"deletion","gene_uniquename":"SJAG_02621","name":"ago1delta","uniquename":"SJAG_02621:allele-1"},"SJAG_02668:allele-1":{"allele_type":"amino_acid_mutation","description":"R77W","gene_uniquename":"SJAG_02668","name":"mpe1-R77W","uniquename":"SJAG_02668:allele-1"},"SJAG_03118:allele-1":{"allele_type":"deletion","description":"deletion","gene_uniquename":"SJAG_03118","name":"leo1delta","uniquename":"SJAG_03118:allele-1"},"SJAG_03118:allele-2":{"allele_type":"nonsense_mutation","description":"aa61->stop","gene_uniquename":"SJAG_03118","name":"frameshift","uniquename":"SJAG_03118:allele-2"},"SJAG_03356:allele-1":{"allele_type":"deletion","description":"deletion","gene_uniquename":"SJAG_03356","name":"rdp1delta","uniquename":"SJAG_03356:allele-1"},"SJAG_03689:allele-1":{"allele_type":"deletion","description":"deletion","gene_uniquename":"SJAG_03689","name":"dcr1delta","uniquename":"SJAG_03689:allele-1"},"SJAG_03916:allele-1":{"allele_type":"deletion","description":"deletion","gene_uniquename":"SJAG_03916","name":"chp1delta","uniquename":"SJAG_03916:allele-1"},"SJAG_04061:allele-1":{"allele_type":"deletion","description":"deletion","gene_uniquename":"SJAG_04061","name":"arb2delta","uniquename":"SJAG_04061:allele-1"},"SJAG_04574:allele-1":{"allele_type":"deletion","description":"deletion","gene_uniquename":"SJAG_04574","name":"clr4delta","uniquename":"SJAG_04574:allele-1"}},"annotation_curators":[{"annotation_count":31,"community_curator":false,"file_name":null,"file_type":null,"name":"Snezhana

  {"abstract":"The phylogenesis of fungi is controversial due to their simple morphology and poor fossilization. Traditional classification supported by morphological studies and physiological traits placed the fission yeasts in one group with ascomycetous yeasts. The rRNA sequence comparisons, however, revealed an enormous evolutionary gap between Saccharomyces and Schizosaccharomyces. As shown in this review, the protein sequences also show a large gap which is almost as large as that separating Schizosaccharomyces from higher animals. Since the two yeasts share features (both cytological and molecular) in common which are also characteristic of ascomycetous fungi, their separation must have taken place later than the sequence differences may suggest. Possible reasons for the paradox are discussed. The sequence data also suggest a slower evolutionary rate in the Schizosaccharomyces lineage than in the Saccharomyces branch. In the fission yeast lineage two ramifications can be supposed. First S. japonicus (Hasegawaea japonica) branched off, then S. octosporus (Octosporomyces octosporus) separated from S. pombe.","alleles_by_uniquename":{},"annotation_curators":[],"annotation_details":{},"annotation_file_curators":[],"authors":"Sipiczki M","authors_abbrev":"Sipiczki M","canto_added_date":"2021-05-10 08:46:37","canto_curator_role":"JaponicusDB","canto_triage_status":"Phylogeny and evolutionary studies","citation":"Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek 1995 Aug;68(2):119-49","cv_annotations":{},"gene_count":0,"genes_by_uniquename":{},"genotypes_by_uniquename":{},"ltp_gene_count":0,"ortholog_annotations":[],"paralog_annotations":[],"physical_interactions":[],"publication_year":"1995","pubmed_entrez_date":"1995-08-01","pubmed_publication_date":"Aug 1995","terms_by_termid":{},"title":"Phylogenesis of fission yeasts.

  {"abstract":"The ERH gene encodes a highly conserved small nuclear protein with a unique amino acid sequence and three-dimensional structure but unknown function. The gene is present in animals, plants, and protists but to date has only been found in few fungi. Here we report that ERH homologs are also present in all four species from the genus Schizosaccharomyces, S. pombe, S. octosporus, S. cryophilus, and S. japonicus, which, however, are an exception in this respect among Ascomycota and Basidiomycota. The ERH protein sequence is moderately conserved within the genus (58% identity between S. pombe and S.japonicus), but the intron-rich genes have almost identical intron-exon organizations in all four species. In S. pombe, erh1(+) is expressed at a roughly constant level during vegetative growth and adaptation to unfavorable conditions such as nutrient limitation and hyperosmotic stress caused by sorbitol. Erh1p localizes preferentially to the nucleus with the exception of the nucleolus, but is also present in the cytoplasm. Cells lacking erh1(+) have an aberrant cell morphology and a comma-like shape when cultured to the stationary phase, and exhibit a delayed recovery from this phase followed by slower growth. Loss of erh1(+) in an auxotrophic background results in enhanced arrest in the G1 phase following nutritional stress, and also leads to hypersensitivity to agents inducing hyperosmotic stress (sorbitol), inhibiting DNA replication (hydroxyurea), and destabilizing the plasma membrane (SDS); this hypersensitivity can be abolished by expression of S. pombe erh1(+) and, to a lesser extent, S. japonicus erh1(+) or human ERH. Erh1p fails to interact with the human Ciz1 and PDIP46/SKAR proteins, known molecular partners of human ERH. Our data suggest that in Schizosaccharomyces sp. erh1(+) is non-essential for normal growth and Erh1p could play a role in response to adverse environmental conditions and in cell cycle regulation.","alleles_by_uniquename":{},"annotation_curators":[],"annotation_details":{},"annotation_file_curators":[],"authors":"Krzyzanowski MK, Kozlowska E, Kozlowski P","authors_abbrev":"Krzyzanowski MK et al.","canto_added_date":"2021-05-10 08:46:37","canto_curator_role":"JaponicusDB","canto_triage_status":"Sequence feature or region","citation":"PLoS One 2012;7(11):e49059","cv_annotations":{},"doi":"10.1371/journal.pone.0049059","gene_count":0,"genes_by_uniquename":{},"genotypes_by_uniquename":{},"ltp_gene_count":0,"ortholog_annotations":[],"paralog_annotations":[],"physical_interactions":[],"publication_year":"2012","pubmed_entrez_date":"2012-11-13","pubmed_publication_date":"2012","terms_by_termid":{},"title":"Identification and functional analysis of the erh1(+) gene encoding enhancer of rudimentary homolog from the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe.","uniquename":"PMID:23145069"}

  {"abstract":"The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe shows bipolar growth and is a convenient model for studying cell polarity and polar growth. This paper shows that the related Schiz. japonicus var. japonicus can switch to unipolar growth and can exist in both yeast and mycelial phases. On solid media, the yeast phase is unstable and prone to switch to the mycelial form, which shows unipolar growth by tip elongation. The hyphae can colonize the body of the substrate (true mycelium) or just its surface (pseudo-mycelium). The yeast-to-mycelium transition and the growth of the mycelium are regulated by a nutritional gradient and are associated with extensive vacuolation. The mycelium can convert into arthroconidia or return to the yeast phase in response to environmental changes. These environmentally controlled morphological transitions make Schiz. japonicus var. japonicus an attractive model for the investigation of cell polarity and morphogenesis.","alleles_by_uniquename":{},"annotation_curators":[],"annotation_details":{},"annotation_file_curators":[],"approved_date":"2021-10-07","authors":"Sipiczki M, Takeo K, Yamaguchi M, Yoshida S, Miklos I","authors_abbrev":"Sipiczki M et al.","canto_added_date":"2021-09-30 08:50:02","canto_annotation_status":"APPROVED","canto_approved_date":"2021-10-07 12:30:26","canto_approver_orcid":"0000-0002-8138-6851","canto_curator_role":"JaponicusDB","canto_first_approved_date":"2021-10-07 12:30:26","canto_session_key":"fced61f1377cd206","canto_session_submitted_date":"2021-09-30 08:52:46","canto_triage_status":"Curatable","citation":"Microbiology (Reading) 1998 May;144 ( Pt 5):1319-1330","cv_annotations":{},"doi":"10.1099/00221287-144-5-1319","gene_count":0,"genes_by_uniquename":{},"genotypes_by_uniquename":{},"ltp_gene_count":0,"ortholog_annotations":[],"paralog_annotations":[],"physical_interactions":[],"publication_year":"1998","pubmed_entrez_date":"1998-06-05","pubmed_publication_date":"May 1998","terms_by_termid":{},"title":"Environmentally controlled dimorphic cycle in a fission yeast.","uniquename":"PMID:9611807"}

  {"abstract":"Schizosaccharomyces japonicus have been found as dominant yeast species coexisting with Saccharomyces cerevisiae during late stages of spontaneous fermentation of local grapes in Guizhou, China. Therefore, this study further investigated the impacts of the two indigenous yeast species on typicality of crystal grape (Niagara) wine. Five indigenous and one commercial S. cerevisiae strains were firstly selected based on their genotypes and fermentation traits in synthetic medium. All the six S. cerevisiae exhibited high tolerance to glucose, temperature, and SO 2 . The two killer active strains FBKL2.996 and FBKL2.9126 showed relative higher tolerance capacity of ethanol, pH and osmotic pressure than the other four S. cerevisiae strains. Further pure fermentation of six strains using crystal grape must exhibited different contents of volatile compounds, with commercial strain CECA producing the highest levels of acetate esters (phenethyl acetate), ethyl esters (ethyl caprylate, ethyl hexanoate), n-caprylic acid isobutyl ester, and terpenes (linalool) whereas being ranked the last in the sensory analysis. The co-inoculation of indigenous S. japonicus with each of the six S. cerevisiae strains increased the acetate esters (mainly isoamyl acetate) by 2-3 times in crystal grape wine. The indigenous S. cerevisiae FBKL2.9128 showed the most obvious variation of volatile compounds between pure and mixed fermentation, exhibiting the significant increase of isoamyl acetate, ethyl decanoate, ethyl caprylate, ethyl hexanoate, methyl decanoate, and dodecanal when co-inoculated with S. japonicus. Sugar addition in immature crystal grape juice increased the ethanol, glycerol, and some volatile compounds such as ethyl butyrate, but decreased the volatile compounds with floral and animal odors. The aroma sensory analysis confirmed the decrease of varietal aroma in wines with sugar addition when comparing with wines made from immature crystal grape. The results of this study provide basic information on the impact of indigenous S. cerevisaie and S. japonicus, and sugar addition on typicality of crystal grape wine, which would help to improve the wine flavor made from crystal grape in southwest China.","alleles_by_uniquename":{},"annotation_curators":[],"annotation_details":{},"annotation_file_curators":[],"authors":"Wang C, Liang S, Yang J, Wu C, Qiu S","authors_abbrev":"Wang C et al.","canto_added_date":"2023-05-04 00:40:03","canto_curator_role":"JaponicusDB","canto_triage_status":"Cell composition or WT feature","citation":"Food Res Int 2022 Sep;159:111580","cv_annotations":{},"doi":"10.1016/j.foodres.2022.111580","gene_count":0,"genes_by_uniquename":{},"genotypes_by_uniquename":{},"ltp_gene_count":0,"ortholog_annotations":[],"paralog_annotations":[],"physical_interactions":[],"publication_year":"2022","pubmed_entrez_date":"2022-08-08","pubmed_publication_date":"Sep 2022","terms_by_termid":{},"title":"The impact of indigenous Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Schizosaccharomyces japonicus on typicality of crystal grape (Niagara) wine.","uniquename":"PMID:35940784"}

  {"abstract":"The post-cytokinetic separation of cells in cell-walled organisms involves enzymic processes that degrade a specific layer of the division septum and the region of the mother cell wall that edges the septum. In the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, the 1,3-α-glucanase Agn1p, originally identified as a mutanase-like glycoside hydrolase family 71 (GH71) enzyme, dissolves the mother cell wall around the septum edge. Our search in the genomes of completely sequenced fungi identified GH71 hydrolases in Basidiomycota, Taphrinomycotina and Pezizomycotina, but not in Saccharomycotina. The most likely Agn1p orthologues in Pezizomycotina species are not mutanases having mutanase-binding domains, but experimentally non-characterized hypothetical proteins that have no carbohydrate-binding domains. The analysis of the GH71 domains corroborated the phylogenetic relationships of the Schizosaccharomyces species determined by previous studies, but suggested a closer relationship to the Basidiomycota proteins than to the Ascomycota proteins. In the Schizosaccharomyces genus, the Agn1p proteins are structurally conserved: their GH71 domains are flanked by N-terminal secretion signals and C-terminal sequences containing the conserved block YNFNA(Y)/HTG. The inactivation of the agn1(Sj) gene in Schizosaccharomyces japonicus, the only true dimorphic member of the genus, caused a severe cell-separation defect in its yeast phase, but had no effect on the hyphal growth and yeast-to-mycelium transition. It did not affect the mycelium-to-yeast transition either, only delaying the separation of the yeast cells arising from the fragmenting hyphae. The heterologous expression of agn1(Sj) partially rescued the separation defect of the agn1Δ cells of Schizosaccharomyces pombe. The results presented indicate that the fission yeast Agn1p 1,3-α-glucanases of Schizosaccharomyces japonicus and Schizosaccharomyces pombe share conserved functions in the yeast phase.

  {"abstract":"Excess fatty acids and sterols are stored as triacylglycerols and sterol esters in specialized cellular organelles, called lipid droplets. Understanding what determines the cellular amount of neutral lipids and their packaging into lipid droplets is of fundamental and applied interest. Using two species of fission yeast, we show that cycling cells deficient in the function of the ER-resident CDP-DG synthase Cds1 exhibit markedly increased triacylglycerol content and assemble large lipid droplets closely associated with the ER membranes. We demonstrate that these unusual structures recruit the triacylglycerol synthesis machinery and grow by expansion rather than by fusion. Our results suggest that interfering with the CDP-DG route of phosphatidic acid utilization rewires cellular metabolism to adopt a triacylglycerol-rich lifestyle reliant on the Kennedy pathway.

  {"abstract":"The present work demonstrates that yeasts belonging to the Schizosaccharomyces genus release a high quantity of polysaccharides of cell wall origin starting from the onset of the alcoholic fermentation. By the end of the alcoholic fermentation, all of the Schizosaccharomyces yeast strains released a quantity of polysaccharides approximately 3-7 times higher than that released by a commercial Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast strain under the same fermentative conditions of synthetic juice. A higher content of polysaccharide was found in media fermented by Schizosaccharomyces japonicus with respect to that of Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Some of the strains evaluated were also able to produce high levels of pyruvic acid, which has been shown to be an important compound for color stability of wine. The presence of strains with different malic acid consumption patterns along with high polysaccharide release would enable production of naturally modified wines with enhanced mouth feel and reduced acidity. The chemical analysis of the released polysaccharides demonstrated divergence between the two yeast species S. pombe and S. japonicus. A different mannose/galactose ratio and a different percentage of proteins was observed on the polysaccharides released by S. pombe as compared to S. japonicus. Analysis of the proteins released in the media revealed the presence of a glycoprotein with a molecular size around 32-33 kDa only for the species S. japonicus. Mass spectrometry analysis of carbohydrate moieties showed similar proportions among the N-glycan chains released in the media by both yeast species but differences between the two species were also observed. These observations suggest a possible role of rapid MALDI-TOF screening of N-glycans compositional fingerprint as a taxonomic tool for this genus. Polysaccharides release in the media, in particular galactomannoproteins in significant amounts, could make these yeasts particularly interesting also for the industrial production of exogenous polysaccharide preparations.","alleles_by_uniquename":{},"annotation_curators":[],"annotation_details":{},"annotation_file_curators":[],"authors":"Domizio P, Liu Y, Bisson LF, Barile D","authors_abbrev":"Domizio P et al.","canto_added_date":"2021-05-10 08:46:37","canto_curator_role":"JaponicusDB","canto_triage_status":"Cell composition or WT feature","citation":"Food Microbiol 2017 Feb;61:136-149","cv_annotations":{},"doi":"10.1016/j.fm.2016.08.010","gene_count":0,"genes_by_uniquename":{},"genotypes_by_uniquename":{},"ltp_gene_count":0,"ortholog_annotations":[],"paralog_annotations":[],"physical_interactions":[],"publication_year":"2017","pubmed_entrez_date":"2016-10-05","pubmed_publication_date":"Feb 2017","terms_by_termid":{},"title":"Cell wall polysaccharides released during the alcoholic fermentation by Schizosaccharomyces pombe and S. japonicus: quantification and characterization.","uniquename":"PMID:27697163"}

  {"abstract":"The survival of eukaryotic organisms during environmental changes is largely dependent on the adaptive responses elicited by signal transduction cascades, including those regulated by the Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK) pathways. The Cell Integrity Pathway (CIP), one of the three MAPK pathways found in the simple eukaryote fission of yeast  Schizosaccharomyces pombe , shows strong homology with mammalian Extracellular signal-Regulated Kinases (ERKs). Remarkably, studies over the last few decades have gradually positioned the CIP as a multi-faceted pathway that impacts multiple functional aspects of the fission yeast life cycle during unperturbed growth and in response to stress. They include the control of mRNA-stability through RNA binding proteins, regulation of calcium homeostasis, and modulation of cell wall integrity and cytokinesis. Moreover, distinct evidence has disclosed the existence of sophisticated interplay between the CIP and other environmentally regulated pathways, including Stress-Activated MAP Kinase signaling (SAPK) and the Target of Rapamycin (TOR). In this review we present a current overview of the organization and underlying regulatory mechanisms of the CIP in  S. pombe , describe its most prominent functions, and discuss possible targets of and roles for this pathway. The evolutionary conservation of CIP signaling in the dimorphic fission yeast  S. japonicus  will also be addressed.","alleles_by_uniquename":{},"annotation_curators":[],"annotation_details":{},"annotation_file_curators":[],"authors":"Cansado J, Soto T, Franco A, Vicente-Soler J, Madrid M","authors_abbrev":"Cansado J et al.","canto_added_date":"2023-05-04 00:40:04","canto_curator_role":"JaponicusDB","canto_triage_status":"Review or comment","citation":"J Fungi (Basel) 2021 Dec 30;8(1)","cv_annotations":{},"doi":"10.3390/jof8010032","gene_count":0,"genes_by_uniquename":{},"genotypes_by_uniquename":{},"ltp_gene_count":0,"ortholog_annotations":[],"paralog_annotations":[],"physical_interactions":[],"publication_year":"2021","pubmed_entrez_date":"2022-01-20","pubmed_publication_date":"30 Dec 2021","terms_by_termid":{},"title":"The Fission Yeast Cell Integrity Pathway: A Functional Hub for Cell Survival upon Stress and Beyond.","uniquename":"PMID:35049972"}
