Sfi1p has conserved centrin-binding sites and an essential function in budding yeast spindle pole body duplication [PDF]
Centrins are calmodulin-like proteins present in microtubule-organizing centers. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae centrin, Cdc31p, was functionally tagged with a single Z domain of protein A, and used in pull-down experiments to isolate Cdc31p-binding ...

Bud14 function is crucial for spindle pole body size maintenance. [PDF]
Spindle pole bodies (SPB), the functional equivalent of centrosomes in yeast, duplicate through generation of a new SPB next to the old one. However, SPBs are dynamic structures that can grow and exchange, and mechanisms that regulate SPB size remain largely unknown.

What is a spindle pole body? The spindle pole body (SPB) or duplication plaque of fungi is the functional equivalent of the centrosome in higher eukaryotes. SPBs serve as microtubule organizing centres (MTOCs), sites where microtubules (MTs) are assembled from tubulin subunits. In contrast to centrosomes, SPBs do not contain centrioles.

Components of the yeast spindle and spindle pole body. [PDF]
Yeast spindle pole bodies (SPBs) with attached nuclear microtubles were enriched approximately 600-fold from yeast cell extracts. 14 mAbs prepared against this enriched SPB fraction define at least three components of the SPB and spindle. Immunofluorescent staining of yeast cells showed that throughout the cell cycle two of the components (110 and 90 ...

Regulation of cytokinesis by spindle-pole bodies [PDF]
In the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, cytokinesis is thought to be controlled by the daughter spindle-pole body (SPB) through a regulatory pathway named the septation initiation network (SIN). Here, we demonstrate that laser ablation of both, but not a single SPB, results in failure of cytokinesis.

The core spindle pole body scaffold Ppc89 links the pericentrin orthologue Pcp1 to the fission yeast spindle pole body via an evolutionarily conserved interface. [PDF]
Centrosomes and spindle pole bodies (SPBs) are important for mitotic spindle formation and serve as cellular signaling platforms. Although centrosomes and SPBs differ in morphology, many mechanistic insights into centrosome function have been gleaned from SPB studies.
