Journal ArticleDOI

Additional modules for versatile and economical PCR-based gene deletion and modification in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

TL;DR: A new set of plasmids that serve as templates for the PCR synthesis of fragments that allow a variety of gene modifications that should further facilitate the rapid analysis of gene function in S. cerevisiae.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heterologous modules for efficient and versatile PCR-based gene targeting in Schizosaccharomyces pombe

TL;DR: A straightforward PCR‐based approach to the deletion, tagging, and overexpression of genes in their normal chromosomal locations in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, and a series of plasmids containing the kanMX6 module, which allows selection of G418‐resistant cells and thus provides a new heterologous marker for use in S. pom be.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bni1p, a Yeast Formin Linking Cdc42p and the Actin Cytoskeleton During Polarized Morphogenesis

TL;DR: The Saccharomyces cerevisiae BNI1 gene product (Bni1p) is a member of the formin family of proteins, which participate in cell polarization, cytokinesis, and vertebrate limb formation.
Journal ArticleDOI

The septins: Roles in cytokinesis and other processes

TL;DR: The septins are a novel family of proteins that were first recognized in yeast as proteins associated with the neck filaments and appear to be essential for this process in both fungal and animal cells.
