A Novel Role of Dma1 in Regulating Forespore Membrane Assembly and Sporulation in Fission Yeast
In fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, a diploid mother cell differentiates into an ascus containing four haploid ascospores following meiotic nuclear divisions, through a process called sporulation. Several meiosis-specific proteins of fission yeast have been identified to play essential roles in meiotic progression and sporulation. We report here an unexpected function of mitotic spindle...
متن کاملRole of septins in the orientation of forespore membrane extension during sporulation in fission yeast.
During yeast sporulation, a forespore membrane (FSM) initiates at each spindle-pole body and extends to form the spore envelope. We used Schizosaccharomyces pombe to investigate the role of septins during this process. During the prior conjugation of haploid cells, the four vegetatively expressed septins (Spn1, Spn2, Spn3, and Spn4) coassemble at the fusion site and are necessary for its normal...
متن کاملFission yeast meu14+ is required for proper nuclear division and accurate forespore membrane formation during meiosis II.
Using a meiosis-specific subtracted cDNA library of Schizosaccharomyces pombe, we identified meu14+ as a gene whose expression is upregulated during meiosis. Transcription of meu14+ is induced abruptly after the cell enters meiosis. Its transcription is dependent on the meiosis-specific transcription factor Mei4. In meu14Delta cells, the segregation and modification of the SPBs (spindle pole bo...
متن کاملForespore membrane assembly in yeast: coordinating SPBs and membrane trafficking.
In the yeasts Schizosaccharomyces pombe and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, sporulation involves de novo synthesis of forespore membrane (FSM) within the cytoplasm of mother cells. The FSM ultimately becomes the plasma membrane of the developing ascospores. Several protein components of the FSM have been identified. Visualization of these proteins has demonstrated the dynamic nature of the genesis an...
متن کاملLive Cell Imaging in Fission Yeast.
Live cell imaging complements the array of biochemical and molecular genetic approaches to provide a comprehensive insight into functional dependencies and molecular interactions in fission yeast. Fluorescent proteins and vital dyes reveal dynamic changes in the spatial distribution of organelles and the proteome and how each alters in response to changes in environmental and genetic compositio...
