To achieve faithful replication of the genome once in each cell cycle, re-initiation of S-phase is prevented in G2 and origins are restricted from re-firing within S-phase. We have investigated the block to re-replication during G2 in fission yeast. The DNA synthesis that occurs when G2/M cyclin d...

During S-phase of the eukaryotic cell cycle, controls exist to ensure that replication origins fire only once and become inactivated after traverse of a replication fork. Failure of these controls results in local amplification of the genome which can lead to gene copy increases important for both ...

The TTAGGG motif is common to two seemingly unrelated dimensions of chromatin function M-^V the vertebrate telomere repeat and the promoter regions of many Schizosaccharomyces pombe genes, including all of those encoding canonical histones. The essential S. pombe protein Teb1 contains two Myb-like D...

Although much is known about the regulation of eukaryotic transcription, the global controls which determine rates of total transcription within a cell are not well understood. We have investigated the effects that the DNA to protein ratio has on both total cellular transcription and the transcripti...

The essential S. pombe protein Teb1 contains two Myb-like DNA binding domains related to those found in telomere proteins and binds the human telomere repeat sequence TTAGGG. Here we analysed the consequences of reduced Teb1 function. The hypomorphic allele, teb1-1, confers reduced levels of histone...

Histone variant H2A.Z has a conserved role in genome stability, although it remains unclear how this is mediated. Here we demonstrate that the fission yeast Swr1 1 ATPase inserts H2A.Z (Pht1) into chromatin and Kat5 acetyltransferase (Mst1) acetylates it. Deletion or an unacetylatable mutation of Ph...

To obtain translational profiles for all mRNAs, polysome preparations are separated according to their size using a sucrose gradient and the mRNAs in each fraction are identified and quantified with DNA microarrays. Starting with exponentially growing cells, we analyzed 12 polysome fractions using D...

The fission yeast Mcs6-Mcs2-Pmh1 complex (homologous to metazoan Cdk7-cyclin HMat1) performs dual functions: in cell cycle control, as a CDK-activating kinase; and in transcription by RNA polymerase (Pol) II, as part of TFIIH. It is unknown whether that linkage serves to coordinate gene expression w...
