Identification of genetic interactors of ypa2 in Schizosaccharomyces pombe

Manuela Moraru

In this study, the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe was used as a model system to study the cellular signaling that underlies cell cycle progression. Phosphorylation plays an important part in the regulation of this process. Kinases catalyze the tra ...

SAS-6 engineering reveals interdependence between cartwheel and microtubules in determining centriole architecture

Pierre Gönczy, Virginie Hamel, Paul Guichard

Centrioles are critical for the formation of centrosomes, cilia and flagella in eukaryotes. They are thought to assemble around a nine-fold symmetric cartwheel structure established by SAS-6 proteins. Here, we have engineered Chlamydomonas reinhardtii SAS- ...

The Human Centriolar Protein CEP135 Contains a Two-Stranded Coiled-Coil Domain Critical for Microtubule Binding

Pierre Gönczy, Paul Guichard, Georgios Hatzopoulos

Centrioles are microtubule-based structures that play important roles notably in cell division and cilium biogenesis. CEP135/Bld10p family members are evolutionarily conserved microtubule-binding proteins important for centriole formation. Here, we analyze ...

Dynein Transmits Polarized Actomyosin Cortical Flows to Promote Centrosome Separation

Pierre Gönczy, Alessandro De Simone

The two centrosomes present at the onset of mitosis must separate in a timely and accurate fashion to ensure proper bipolar spindle assembly. The minus-end-directed motor dynein plays a pivotal role in centrosome separation, but the underlying mechanisms r ...

Analysis of S. pombe SIN protein association to the SPB reveals two genetically separable states of the SIN

Michaël Unser, Daniel Sage, Viesturs Simanis, Daniel Andreas Schmitter, Andrea Krapp, Jacques Rougemont

The Schizosaccharomyces pombe septation initiation network (SIN) regulates cytokinesis, and asymmetric association of SIN proteins with the mitotic spindle pole bodies (SPBs) is important for its regulation. Here, we have used semi-automated image analysis ...

Pombe's thirteen - control of fission yeast cell division by the septation initiation network

Viesturs Simanis

The septation initiation network (SIN) regulates aspects of cell growth and division in Schizosaccharomyces pombe and is essential for cytokinesis. Insufficient signalling results in improper assembly of the contractile ring and failure of cytokinesis, gen ...

Cell Shape Dynamics Reveal Balance of Elasticity and Contractility in Peripheral Arcs

Jean-Jacques Meister, Alexander Verkhovskiy, Chiara Gabella, Benoît Vianay, Céline Jeanne Labouesse

The mechanical interaction between adherent cells and their substrate relies on the formation of adhesion sites and on the stabilization of contractile acto-myosin bundles, or stress fibers. The shape of the cell and the orientation of these fibers can be ...

Mechanical properties of peripheral stress fibers in adherent cells spreading on patterned substrates

Céline Jeanne Labouesse

Many cellular processes require or depend on mechanical feedback from the cell's micro-environment. For example, the local organization of the actin cytoskeleton is known to adapt to the physical properties of the extracellular matrix. To gain better under ...

A formin-nucleated actin aster concentrates cell wall hydrolases for cell fusion in fission yeast

Arne Seitz, Thierry Laroche, Omaya Pierre Dudin

Cell-cell fusion is essential for fertilization. For fusion of walled cells, the cell wall must be degraded at a precise location but maintained in surrounding regions to protect against lysis. In fission yeast cells, the formin Fus1, which nucleates linea ...

NuMA interacts with phosphoinositides and links the mitotic spindle with the plasma membrane

Pierre Gönczy, Coralie Busso, Sachin Kotak

The positioning and the elongation of the mitotic spindle must be carefully regulated. In human cells, the evolutionary conserved proteins LGN/Gai1-3 anchor the coiled-coil protein NuMA and dynein to the cell cortex during metaphase, thus ensuring proper s ...

Clathrin regulates centrosome positioning by promoting acto-myosin cortical tension in C. elegans embryos

Pierre Gönczy, Alessandro De Simone, Sylvain Träger, Kalyani Thyagarajan

Regulation of centrosome and spindle positioning is crucial for spatial cell division control. The one-cell Caenorhabditis elegans embryo has proven attractive for dissecting the mechanisms underlying centrosome and spindle positioning in a metazoan organi ...
