Chitin synthesis has attracted scientific interest for decades as an essential part of fungal
biology and for its potential as a target for antifungal therapies. While this interest remains …

Fes/Cip4 homology Bin/amphiphysin/Rvs (F-BAR) domains, like all BAR domains, are
dimeric units that oligomerize and bind membranes. F-BAR domains are generally coupled …

The biosynthesis of citric acid (CA) using Aspergillus niger as a carrier is influenced by
mycelium morphology, which is determined by the expression level of morphology-related …

Many eukaryotes assemble an actin-and myosin-based cytokinetic ring (CR) on the plasma
membrane (PM) for cell division, but how it is anchored there remains unclear. In …

The developmental fate of cells is regulated by intrinsic factors and the extracellular
environment. The extracellular matrix (matrisome) delivers chemical and mechanical cues …

The developmental biology underlying the morphogenesis of mushrooms remains poorly
understood despite the essential role of fungi in the terrestrial environment and global …

Prasinophytes are widespread marine algae for which responses to nutrient limitation and
viral infection are not well understood. We studied the picoprasinophyte, Micromonas …

Cytokinesis is executed by protein networks organized into functional modules. Individual
proteins within each module have been characterized to various degrees. However, the …

Cellular actin arrays are often highly organized, with characteristic patterns critical to their in
vivo functions, yet the mechanisms for establishing these higher order geometries remain …

The F-BAR protein Cdc15 mediates attachment of the cytokinetic ring (CR) to the plasma
membrane and is essential for cytokinesis in Schizosaccharomyces pombe. While its N …
