Abstract excerpt
To investigate the contributions of phosphatidylserine to the growth and morphogenesis of the rod-shaped fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, we have characterized the single gene in this organism, pps1, encoding a predicted phosphatidylserine synthase. S. pombe pps1Delta mutants grow slowly in rich medium and are inviable in synthetic minimal medium. They do not produce detectable phosphatidylserine in vivo...
