The distribution of mitochondria to daughter cells during cell division is an essential feature
of cell proliferation. Until recently, it was commonly believed that inheritance of mitochondria …

The unconventional myosins form a large and diverse group of molecular motors. The
number of known unconventional myosins is increasing rapidly and in the past year alone …

Fungal Cell Wall presents a comprehensive examination of the structure, synthesis, and
growth of the fungal cell wall and explores the reasons for the cell wall's importance to the …

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) was studied by fluorescence microscopy of living CV-1 cells
treated with the fluorescent carbocyanine dye DiOC6 (3). Using video recording and image …

Kinesin is a microtubule-activated ATPase thought to transport membrane-bounded
organelles along MTs. To illuminate the structural basis for this function, EM was used to …

Systematics has developed rapidly during the past two decades. A multitude of new
methods and contributions from a diversity of biological fields including molecular genetics …

After the initiation of bud formation, cells of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae direct new
growth to the developing bud. We show here that this vectorial growth is facilitated by activity …

The membrane compartments responsible for Golgi functions in wild-type Saccharomyces
cerevisiae were identified and characterized by immunoelectron microscopy. Using …

Eukaryotic cells contain distinct membrane-bound compartments that serve specialized
functions. While such an organization of the intracellular environment has clear advantages …

Type I myosins are highly conserved actin-based molecular motors that localize to the actin-
rich cortex and participate in motility functions such as endocytosis, polarized …
