imp2, a New Component of the Actin Ring in the Fission Yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe
Cytokinesis is the part of the cell cycle in which the cell is cleaved to form two daughter cells. The unicellular yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe is an excellent model organism in which to study cell division, since it shows the general features of eukaryotic cell division and is amenable to genetic analysis. In this manuscript we describe the isolation and characterization of a new protein, ...
متن کاملF-actin ring formation and the role of F-actin cables in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe.
Cells of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe divide by the contraction of the F-actin ring formed at the medial region of the cell. We investigated the process of F-actin ring formation in detail using optical sectioning and three-dimensional reconstruction fluorescence microscopy. In wild-type cells, formation of an aster-like structure composed of F-actin cables and accumulation of F-...
متن کاملFeatured Organism: Schizosaccharomyces pombe, The Fission Yeast
Schizosaccharomyces pombe, the fission yeast, has long been a crucial model for the study of the eukaryote cell cycle. We take a look at this important yeast, whose genome has recently been completed, featuring comments from Valerie Wood, Jürg Bähler, Ramsay McFarlane, Susan Forsburg, Iain Hagan and Paul Nurse on the implications of having the complete sequence and future prospects for pombe ge...
متن کاملDetection and characterization of a ring chromosome in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe.
NotI and SfiI genomic restriction maps were used to detect and characterize a ring chromosome II in a Schizosaccharomyces pombe strain with a meiotic defect on chromosome II. The ring chromosome was formed by an intrachromosomal fusion near, or at, the very ends of chromosome II.
متن کاملThe Spontaneous Mutation Rate in the Fission Yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe.
The rate at which new mutations arise in the genome is a key factor in the evolution and adaptation of species. Here we describe the rate and spectrum of spontaneous mutations for the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, a key model organism with many similarities to higher eukaryotes. We undertook an ∼1700-generation mutation accumulation (MA) experiment with a haploid S. pombe, generating...
