Abstract excerpt
Although phospholipase B (PLB) enzymes have been described in eukaryotes from yeasts to mammals, their biological functions are poorly understood. Here we describe the characterization of plb1, one of five genes predicted to encode PLB homologs in the fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe. The plb1 gene is dispensable under normal growth conditions but required for viability in high-osmolarity media and for...
