Daughter-Specific Transcription Factors Regulate Cell Size Control in Budding Yeast
In budding yeast, asymmetric cell division yields a larger mother and a smaller daughter cell, which transcribe different genes due to the daughter-specific transcription factors Ace2 and Ash1. Cell size control at the Start checkpoint has long been considered to be a main regulator of the length of the G1 phase of the cell cycle, resulting in longer G1 in the smaller daughter cells. Our recent...
متن کاملThe duration of mitosis and daughter cell size are modulated by nutrients in budding yeast.
The size of nearly all cells is modulated by nutrients. Thus, cells growing in poor nutrients can be nearly half the size of cells in rich nutrients. In budding yeast, cell size is thought to be controlled almost entirely by a mechanism that delays cell cycle entry until sufficient growth has occurred in G1 phase. Here, we show that most growth of a new daughter cell occurs in mitosis. When the...
متن کاملChecking cell size in budding yeast: a systems biology approach.
The regulation of cell cycle progression via the attainment of a critical cell size is a conserved feature from simpler unicellular organisms to mammalian cells that is obtaining much attention recently. Genome wide analysis of Saccharomyces cerevisiae deletion strains, genetic epistasis, DNA microarray analysis have recently revealed an increasingly complex network of cell size modulation mech...
متن کاملSystematic identification of cell size regulators in budding yeast
Cell size is determined by a complex interplay between growth and division, involving multiple cellular pathways. To identify systematically processes affecting size control in G1 in budding yeast, we imaged and analyzed the cell cycle of millions of individual cells representing 591 mutants implicated in size control. Quantitative metric distinguished mutants affecting the mechanism of size co...
متن کاملCell Size Control in Yeast
Cell size is an important adaptive trait that influences nearly all aspects of cellular physiology. Despite extensive characterization of the cell-cycle regulatory network, the molecular mechanisms coupling cell growth to division, and thereby controlling cell size, have remained elusive. Recent work in yeast has reinvigorated the size control field and suggested provocative mechanisms for the ...
