The pioneering cell division cycle screens carried out by Hartwell in 1971 first identified septins as genes that are essential for yeast cytokinesis ([Hartwell, 1971][1]). However, significant characterization of the evolutionarily conserved proteins they encode did not begin until the late 1980s.

Septins From Protists to People [PDF]
Septin GTPases form nonpolar heteropolymers that play important roles in cytokinesis and other cellular processes. The ability to form heteropolymers appears to be critical to many septin functions and to have been a major driver of the high conservation of many septin domains. Septins fall into five orthologous groups.

Protein Kinase A-Mediated Septin7 Phosphorylation Disrupts Septin Filaments and Ciliogenesis
Septins are GTP-binding proteins that form heteromeric filaments for proper cell growth and migration. Among the septins, septin7 (SEPT7) is an important component of all septin filaments.

Bem1p contributes to secretory pathway polarization through a direct interaction with Exo70p. [PDF]
The exocyst serves to tether secretory vesicles to cortical sites specified by polarity determinants, in preparation for fusion with the plasma membrane.

Animal cell cytokinesis: the role of dynamic changes in the plasma membrane proteome and lipidome [PDF]
In animal cells, cytokinesis is characterised by the formation of the mitotic spindle that signals the assembly of an actomyosin ring between the spindle poles.

The Long and Viscous Road: Uncovering Nuclear Diffusion Barriers in Closed Mitosis [PDF]
During Saccharomyces cerevisiae closed mitosis, parental identity is sustained by the asymmetric segregation of ageing factors. Such asymmetry has been hypothesized to occur via diffusion barriers, constraining protein lateral exchange in cellular ...

Interplay between septins and ubiquitin-mediated xenophagy during Shigella entrapment
Septins are cytoskeletal proteins implicated in numerous cellular processes including cytokinesis and morphogenesis. In the case of infection by Shigella flexneri, septins assemble into cage-like structures that entrap cytosolic bacteria targeted by ...

Septins are important for cell polarity, septation and asexual spore formation in Neurospora crassa and show different patterns of localisation at germ tube tips. [PDF]
Septins are GTP-binding cytoskeletal proteins that contribute to cell polarity, vesicle trafficking, cytokinesis and cell morphogenesis. Here we have characterised the six septins encoded by the genome of the model filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa ...
