Further characterization of a size control gene in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
The DAF1-1 mutation reduces cell size and reduces or eliminates G1 phase in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and results in alpha-factor resistance. DAF1-1 cells transferred into low cycloheximide express an increased G1 phase in their cycle, suggesting that G1 regulation is present but cryptic in the DAF1-1 cycle in rich medium. DAF1-1 reduces cell size by the criterion of RNA content per cell as wel...
متن کاملA novel mechanism for telomere size control in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
One of the central requirements for eukaryotic chromosome stability is the maintenance of the simple sequence tracts at telomeres. In this study, we use genetic and physical assays to reveal the nature of a novel mechanism by which telomere length is controlled. This mechanism, telomeric rapid deletion (TRD), is capable of reducing elongated telomeres to wild-type tract length in an apparently ...
متن کاملSize control models of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell proliferation.
By using time-lapse photomicroscopy, the individual cycle times and sizes at bud emergence were measured for a population of saccharomyces cerevisiae cells growing exponentially under balanced growth conditions in a specially constructed filming slide. There was extensive variability in both parameters for daughter and parent cells. The data on 162 pairs of siblings were analyzed for agreement ...
متن کاملRegulation of cell size in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
For cells of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the size at initiation of budding is proportional to growth rate for rates from 0.33 to 0.23 h-1. At growth rates lower than 0.23 h-1, cells displayed a minimum cell size at bud initiation independent of growth rate. Regardless of growth rate, cells displayed an increase in volume each time budding was initiated. When abnormally small cells, prod...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of WHI3, a size-control gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
WHI3 is a gene affecting size control and cell cycle in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The whi3 mutant has small cells, while extra doses of WHI3 produce large cells, and a large excess of WHI3 produces a lethal arrest in G1 phase. WHI3 seems to be a dose-dependent inhibitor of Start. Whi3 and its partially redundant homolog Whi4 have an RNA-binding domain, and mutagenesis experiments indi...
