The yeast cell wall is a strong, but elastic, structure that is essential not only for the
maintenance of cell shape and integrity, but also for progression through the cell cycle …

Cellular organelles in the exocytic and endocytic pathways have a distinctive spatial
distribution and communicate through an elaborate system of vesiculo-tubular transport …

The yeast cell wall is a highly dynamic structure that is responsible for protecting the cell
from rapid changes in external osmotic potential. The wall is also critical for cell expansion …

The exocyst is an octameric protein complex that is implicated in the tethering of secretory
vesicles to the plasma membrane prior to SNARE-mediated fusion. Spatial and temporal …

An extracellular matrix composed of a layered meshwork of β-glucans, chitin, and
mannoproteins encapsulates cells of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This organelle …

Tethering factors have been shown to interact with Rabs and SNAREs and, more recently,
with coat proteins. Coat proteins are required for cargo selection and membrane …

Asymmetric cell division, which includes cell polarization and cytokinesis, is essential for
generating cell diversity during development. The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae …

The exocyst complex is an evolutionarily conserved multisubunit protein complex implicated
in tethering secretory vesicles to the plasma membrane. Originally identified two decades …

The cyclin dependent kinase Cdk1 controls the cell cycle, which is best understood in the
model organism S. cerevisiae. Research performed during the past decade has significantly …

The green fluorescent protein (GFP) 2 from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria has recently leapt
to prominence within numerous biological fields. Interest in the use of GFP has grown …
