The Schizosaccharomyces pombe septation initiation network (SIN) is required for spore formation in meiosis

Viesturs Simanis, Andrea Krapp

When nutrients are abundant, S. pombe cells grow as rods, dividing by fission after formation of a medially placed cell wall or division septum. Septum formation is triggered by a group of proteins, called the septation initiation network or SIN, that trig ...

Gradient of Rigidity in the Lamellipodia of Migrating Cells Revealed by Atomic Force Microscopy

Giovanni Dietler, Sandor Kasas, Jean-Jacques Meister, Alexander Verkhovskiy, Alexandre Yersin

Changes in mechanical properties of the cytoplasm have been implicated in cell motility, but there is little information about these properties in specific regions of the cell at specific stages of the cell migration process. Fish epidermal keratocytes wit ...

Flp1, a fission yeast orthologue of the s. cerevisiae CDC14 gene, is not required for cyclin degradation or rum1p stabilisation at the end of mitosis

Viesturs Simanis

In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the phosphoprotein phosphatase Cdc14p plays a central role in exit from mitosis, by promoting B-type cyclin degradation and allowing accumulation of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor Sic1p. Cdc14p is sequestered in the nucl ...
