Glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase homologue from Schizosaccharomyces pombe.

چکیده
A gene encoding an S.pombe homologue of glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase was isolated from a XEMBL3 library. The clone was originally isolated because it hybridised to a rat BiP cDNA probe (1). Upon sequencing, however, it was found that there was no homology between this clone and BiP at the amino acid level. The open reading frame was used to search databases and the gene identified as an S.pombe homologue of glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. The deduced amino acid sequence is 385 residues in length and is 47% identical to mouse glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (2, 3).

Activation and regulation of the Spc1 stress-activated protein kinase in Schizosaccharomyces pombe.
Spc1, an osmotic-stress-stimulated mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) homolog in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, is required for the induction of mitosis and survival in high-osmolarity conditions. Spc1, also known as Sty1, is activated by Wis1 MAPK kinase and inhibited by Pyp1 tyrosine phosphatase. Spc1 is most closely related to Saccharomyces cerevisiae Hog1 and mammalian p3...
متن کاملA novel phosphatidylinositol(3,4,5)P3 pathway in fission yeast
The mammalian tumor suppressor, phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN), inhibits cell growth and survival by dephosphorylating phosphatidylinositol-(3,4,5)-trisphosphate (PI[3,4,5]P3). We have found a homologue of PTEN in the fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe (ptn1). This was an unexpected finding because yeast (S. pombe and Saccharomyces cerevisiae) lack the cl...
متن کاملPurification and characterization of phosphatidylglycerolphosphate synthase from Schizosaccharomyces pombe.
The enzyme CDP-diacylglycerol:sn-glycerol-3-phosphate 3-phosphatidyltransferase (phosphatidylglycerolphosphate synthase; PGPS4; EC 2.7.8.5) is located in the mitochondrial inner membrane and catalyzes the committed step in the cardiolipin branch of phospholipid synthesis. Previous studies revealed that PGPS is the most highly regulated enzyme in cardiolipin biosynthesis in both Saccharomyces ce...
متن کاملMechanical Forces of Fission Yeast Growth
Mechanical properties contribute to the control of cell size, morphogenesis, development, and lifestyle of fungal cells. Tip growth can be understood by a viscoplastic model, in which growth is derived by high internal turgor pressure and cell-wall elasticity. To understand how these properties regulate growth in the rod-shaped fission yeast Schizosaccaromyces pombe, we devised femtoliter cylin...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of high-osmolarity-sensitive mutants of fission yeast.
For the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, adaptation to high-osmolarity medium is mediated by a mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase cascade, involving the Wis1 MAP kinase kinase and the Sty1 MAP kinase. The MAP kinase pathway transduces an osmotic signal and accordingly regulates the expression of the downstream target gene (gpd1(+)) that encodes NADH-dependent glycerol-3-phosphate de...
