Conflicting phylogenetic position of Schizosaccharomyces pombe

Conflicting phylogenetic position of Schizosaccharomyces pombe.

The phylogenetic position of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe in the fungal Tree of Life is still controversial. Three alternative phylogenetic positions have been proposed in the literature, namely (1) a position basal to the Hemiascomycetes and Euascomycetes, (2) a position as a sister group to the Euascomycetes with the Hemiascomycetes as a basal branch, or (3) a sister group to t...

Cloning of the Schizosaccharomyces pombe

Diadenosine 5',5"'-P1,P4-tetraphosphate (Ap4A) asymmetric hydrolase (EC 3.6.1.17) is a specific catabolic enzyme of Ap4A found in Schizosaccharomyces pombe. We have previously described the partial purification ofAp4A hydrolase from S. pombe [Robinson, de la Pefia and Barnes (1993) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1161, 139-148]. We determined the sequence of the N-terminal 20 amino acids of Ap4A hydrola...

Nucleotide sequence of the Schizosaccharomyces pombe 25S ribosomal RNA and its phylogenetic implications.

Schizosaccharomyces pombe is a fission yeast which is only distantly related to the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. While its cell cycle has been studied extensively, ribosome biogenesis is still poorly documented in this important organism. We have thus begun to characterize the components of the nucleolus of 5.pombe, including nucleolar proteins (1, 2), small nucleolar RNAs and the rD...
