Relationships between cell cycle regulator gene copy numbers and protein expression levels in Schizosaccharomyces pombe.

We previously determined the copy number limits of overexpression for cell division cycle (cdc) regulatory genes in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe using the "genetic tug-of-war" (gTOW) method. In this study, we measured the levels of tandem affinity purification (TAP)-tagged t...
