Yeast vacuoles fragment when microtubules are disrupted
To identify whether microtubules are involved in the maintenance of vacuolar morphology, we treated Saccharomyces cerevisiae with nocodazole and methyl benzimidazole-2-yl-carbamate, drugs which inhibit the polymerization of microtubules. Treated cells arrest with a single large bud in the G2/prophase portion of the cell cycle. Labeling the vacuole with either quinacrine or FITC-dextran revealed...
متن کاملYeast vacuoles fragment in an asymmetrical two-phase process with distinct protein requirements
Yeast vacuoles fragment and fuse in response to environmental conditions, such as changes in osmotic conditions or nutrient availability. Here we analyze osmotically induced vacuole fragmentation by time-lapse microscopy. Small fragmentation products originate directly from the large central vacuole. This happens by asymmetrical scission rather than by consecutive equal divisions. Fragmentation...
متن کاملRegulation of cellular Ca2+ by yeast vacuoles.
The role of vacuolar Ca2+ transport systems in regulating cellular Ca2+ was investigated by measuring the vacuolar Ca2+ transport rate, the free energy available to drive vacuolar Ca2+ transport, the ability of the vacuole to buffer lumenal Ca2+, and the vacuolar Ca2+ efflux rate. The magnitude of the Ca2+ gradient generated by the vacuolar H+ gradient best supports a 1 Ca2+:2 H+ coupling ratio...
متن کاملShaping fission yeast with microtubules.
For cell morphogenesis, the cell must establish distinct spatial domains at specified locations at the cell surface. Here, we review the molecular mechanisms of cell polarity in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. These are simple rod-shaped cells that form cortical domains at cell tips for cell growth and at the cell middle for cytokinesis. In both cases, microtubule-based systems hel...
متن کاملAre we disrupted?
The subject of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and their effects on mammalian health and especially human health is somewhat contentious. As scientists, we are trained to prove a concept by the gathering of unequivocal evidence to support a hypothesis. If there is insufficient evidence or no compelling proof of concept, the hypothesis is not supported. This approach to the subject of EDCs...
