Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2016 In animal cells cytokinesis relies on the contraction of an actomyosin ring that pulls the plasma membrane to create a cleavage furrow, whose ingression finally divides the mother cell into two daughter cells.

Fission Yeast Cell Wall Analysis [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Protocols, 2017 The Schizosaccharomyces pombe cell wall is a rigid exoskeletal structure mainly composed of interlinked glucose polysaccharides and galactomannoproteins. It is essential for survival of the fission yeast, as it prevents cells from bursting from internal turgor pressure and protects them from mechanical injuries.

How Fission Yeast Fission in the Middle [PDF]
Cell, 1996 In fission yeast, we propose that the division plane may be positioned by the position of the premitotic nucleus, perhaps by a signal emanating from the nucleus. Gene products involved in the assembly of the ring and its temporal and spatial controls are beginning to be characterized.

Global analysis of fission yeast mating genes reveals new autophagy factors. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2013 Macroautophagy (autophagy) is crucial for cell survival during starvation and plays important roles in animal development and human diseases. Molecular understanding of autophagy has mainly come from the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and it ...

Shaping Fission Yeast with Microtubules [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2009 For cell morphogenesis, the cell must establish distinct spatial domains at specified locations at the cell surface. Here, we review the molecular mechanisms of cell polarity in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. These are simple rod-shaped cells that form cortical domains at cell tips for cell growth and at the cell middle for cytokinesis ...

Parkinson's Disease, 2011 In Parkinson's disease (PD), misfolded and aggregated α-synuclein protein accumulates in degenerating midbrain dopaminergic neurons. The amino acid alanine-76 in α-synuclein and phosphorylation at serine-87 and serine-129 are thought to regulate its ...

eLife, 2019 Conserved proteins drive clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME), which from yeast to humans involves a burst of actin assembly. To gain mechanistic insights into this process, we performed a side-by-side quantitative comparison of CME in two distantly ...

Double-strand break repair and homologous recombination in Schizosaccharomyces pombe [PDF]
, 2006 In recent years our understanding of double strand break repair and homologous recombination in Schizosaccharomyces pombe has increased significantly, and the identification of novel pathways and genes with homologues in higher eukaryotes has increased ...

DNA checkpoints in fission yeast [PDF]
Journal of Cell Science, 2003 The DNA integrity checkpoints ensure completion of DNA replication and DNA repair before entry into mitosis ([O'Connell et al., 2000][1]). Unreplicated DNA or unrepaired DNA will cause catastrophic chromosome segregation.
