Abstract

Schizosaccharomyces pombe cells divide by medial fission through the use of an actomyosin-based contractile ring. Constriction of the actomyosin ring is accompanied by the centripetal addition of new membranes and cell wall material. In this article, we characterize the mechanism responsible for the localization of Cps1p, a septum-synthesizing 1,3-beta-glucan synthase, to the division site during cytokinesis. We show that Cps1p is an integral membrane protein that localizes to the cell division site late in anaphase. Neither F-actin nor microtubules are essential for the initial assembly of Cps1p to the medial division site. F-actin, but not microtubules, is however important for the eventual incorporation of Cps1p into the actomyosin ring. Assembly of Cps1p into the cell division ring is also dependent on the septation-inducing network (SIN) proteins that regulate division septum formation after assembly of the actomyosin ring. Fluorescence-recovery after-photobleaching experiments reveal that Cps1p does not diffuse appreciably within the plasma membrane and is retained at the division site by a mechanism that does not depend on an intact F-actin cytoskeleton. We conclude that the actomyosin ring serves as a spatial cue for Cp...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide
