The wall gives a Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell its osmotic integrity; defines cell shape
during budding growth, mating, sporulation, and pseudohypha formation; and presents …

Productive cell proliferation involves efficient and accurate splitting of the dividing cell into
two separate entities. This orderly process reflects coordination of diverse cytological events …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by NADPH-dependent oxidases (Nox) have
been shown to function as signaling molecules and to be essential for many differentiation …

Centrosomes are a functionally conserved feature of eukaryotic cells that play an important
role in cell division. The conserved γ-tubulin complex organizes spindle and astral …

Anaphase chromatin bridges can lead to chromosome breakage if not properly resolved
before completion of cytokinesis. The NoCut checkpoint, which depends on Aurora B at the …

The structural carbohydrate polymers glucan and chitin compliment and reinforce each other
in a dynamic process to maintain the integrity and physical strength of the fungal cell wall …

Cell division is a fundamental but complex process that gives rise to two daughter cells. It
includes an ordered set of events, altogether called “the cell cycle”, that culminate with …

Cytokinesis is essential for cell proliferation in all domains of life. Because the core
components and mechanisms of cytokinesis are conserved from fungi to humans, the …

NADPH oxidases (Nox) are major enzymatic systems that generate reactive-oxygen species
(ROS) in multicellular eukaryotes. In several fungi they have been shown to be involved in …

The survival of eukaryotic organisms during environmental changes is largely dependent on
the adaptive responses elicited by signal transduction cascades, including those regulated …
