Epitope tagging of yeast genes using a PCR‐based strategy: more tags and improved practical routines

TL;DR: In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, molecular biological techniques have been developed that use a simple PCR‐based strategy to introduce epitope tags to chromosomal loci to produce PCR amplificable modules.
Journal ArticleDOI

Direct regulation of Arp2/3 complex activity and function by the actin binding protein coronin

TL;DR: In vivo evidence that coronin regulates the Arp2/3 complex comes from the observation that crn1 and arp2 mutants display an allele-specific synthetic interaction, and this work identifies a new form of regulation of the ArP2/ 3 complex and an important cellular function for coronin.
Journal ArticleDOI

The BAR Domain Proteins: Molding Membranes in Fission, Fusion, and Phagy

TL;DR: The cellular roles of BAR domain proteins, characterized over the past decade in cells as distinct as yeasts, neurons, and myocytes, can be understood in terms of a fundamental molecular function: to sense membrane curvature, to bind GTPases, and to mold a diversity of cellular membranes.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae Homologue of Human Wiskott–Aldrich Syndrome Protein Las17p Interacts with the Arp2/3 Complex

TL;DR: Two hybrid results suggest that Las17p interacts with actin, verprolin, Rvs167p and several other proteins including Src homology 3 (SH3) domain proteins, suggesting thatLas17p may integrate signals from different regulatory cascades destined for the Arp2/3p complex and the actin cytoskeleton.
