Cell Polarity: Wanderful Exploration in Yeast Sex
Chemical gradients are used by cells to provide positional information. Two new studies reveal that polarity proteins are highly dynamic in yeast cells responding to a pheromone gradient and suggest that this behavior is important for robust directional growth.
متن کاملEstablishment of cell polarity in yeast.
The establishment of cell polarity is a central feature of morphogenesis in many types of cells (Schnepf 1986; Horvitz and Herskowitz 1992; Rodriguez-Boulan and Nelson 1993; Shapiro 1993; Priess 1994). Polarity establishment involves selection of an axis of polarization followed by the asymmetric organization of cytoskeletal elements, membranous organdíes, components of the plasma membrane, and...
متن کاملPolarity establishment in yeast.
The unicellular yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a model system for the establishment of cell polarity. Yeast cells proliferate by budding, which involves specialization of a small patch of the mother cell cortex and polarization of many cell constituents towards that patch, promoting growth of the bud. Genetic approaches have uncovered a large number of genes involved in these processes, yiel...
متن کاملRegulation of Cell Polarity by Microtubules in Fission Yeast
To investigate the role of microtubules in regulating cell polarity in Schizosaccharomyces pombe, we have developed a system in which normally cylindrical fission yeast synchronously form branched cells at high frequency upon treatment with the microtubule-depolymerizing drug thiabendazole (TBZ). Branching depends on both elevated temperature and cell cycle state and occurs at high frequency on...
متن کاملModular coherence of protein dynamics in yeast cell polarity system.
In this study, we investigated on a systems level how complex protein interactions underlying cell polarity in yeast determine the dynamic association of proteins with the polar cortical domain (PCD) where they localize and perform morphogenetic functions. We constructed a network of physical interactions among >100 proteins localized to the PCD. This network was further divided into five robus...
