Abstract excerpt
While screening for genes that reverse the sporulation-deficient phenotype of the ras1delta diploid Schizosaccharomyces pombe strain, we identified zds1. This gene shares sequence homology with the ZDS1 and ZDS2 genes from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which appear to be involved in multiple cellular events. Expression of Zds1 in ras1delta diploid cells elevated their sporulation rate from 0.3 to 11.2%. Expression of...
