Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative Analysis of Cytokinesis in Budding Yeast, Fission Yeast and Animal Cells
TL;DR: To date, this analysis indicates that some of the basic components involved in cytokinesis are conserved from yeast to humans, although their organization into functional machinery that drives cytokineis and the associated regulatory mechanisms bear species-specific features.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation and Characterization of New Fission Yeast Cytokinesis Mutants
Mohan K. Balasubramanian,Dannel McCollum,Dannel McCollum,Louise Chang,Kelvin K. L. Wong,Naweed I. Naqvi,Xiangwei He,Shelley Sazer,Kathleen L. Gould +8 more
TL;DR: A phenotype that has not been described previously in cytokinesis mutants is characterized, namely the failure to reorganize actin patches to the medial region of the cell in preparation for septum formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new tropomyosin essential for cytokinesis in the fission yeast S. pombe.
TL;DR: Results indicate that cdc8 tropomyosin has a specialized role which, it is suggested, is to form part of the F-actin contractile ring at cytokinesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Schizosaccharomyces pombe cdc3+ gene encodes a profilin essential for cytokinesis.
TL;DR: It is proposed that Cdc3-profilin plays an essential role in cytokinesis by catalyzing the formation of the F-actin contractile ring, and that it is essential for F- actin ring formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cell Polarity in Yeast.
TL;DR: Findings from budding and fission yeasts that reveal both a conserved core polarity circuit and several adaptations that each organism exploits to fulfill the needs of its lifestyle are reviewed.
