Cytokinesis requires coordination of actomyosin ring (AMR) contraction with rearrangements
of the plasma membrane and extracellular matrix. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, new …

Septins are essential for cytokinesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, but their precise roles
remain elusive. Currently, it is thought that before cytokinesis, the hourglass-shaped septin …

In fungal cells cytokinesis requires coordinated closure of a contractile actomyosin ring
(CAR) and synthesis of a special cell wall structure known as the division septum. Many …

In the Saccharomyces cerevisiae glycolytic pathway, 11 enzymes catalyze the stepwise
conversion of glucose to two molecules of ethanol plus two CO 2 molecules. In the highly …

Cytokinesis in many eukaryotes depends on the function of an actomyosin contractile ring.
The mechanisms regulating assembly and positioning of this ring are not fully understood …

In fission yeast, Mid1p, a major determinant for division plane position, defines a medial
cortical compartment where it recruits myosin II at the onset of mitosis to initiate contractile …

In yeast and animal cytokinesis, the small guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase) Rho1/RhoA
has an established role in formation of the contractile actomyosin ring, but its role, if any …

The objective of the present work was to encapsulate yeast using different carrier materials
and examine their efficacy in retaining viability of cells after spray drying. Slurry containing …

Unique mechanisms are used to orient cell division planes in plants. A cortical ring of
cytoskeletal filaments called the preprophase band (PPB) predicts the future division plane …

How cell cycle machinery regulates extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling during
cytokinesis remains poorly understood. In the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the …
