Abstract excerpt
hos3 mutants of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe showed the phenotype of high osmolarity sensitivity for growth. An S. pombe strain carrying the hos3-M26 allele cannot form colonies on agar plates containing 2 M glucose, but the parental strain can do so very well, as demonstrated previously. The hos3+ gene was cloned and identified as one that encodes a small protein of 94 amino acids, which shows no...
