- PP2ACdc55 dephosphorylates Pds1 and inhibits spindle elongation in S. cerevisiae
Summary: PP2ACdc55-dependent Pds1 dephosphorylation leads to a dissociation of Esp1 from Pds1 causing an inhibition of spindle elongation, which plays a role in replication stress.
- Molecular mechanisms of chemotropism and cell fusion in unicellular fungi
Summary: A summary of the current knowledge on chemoattractant gradient detection in yeast, which occurs at a motile polarity patch. It further describes the stabilization and hyperpolarization process underlying cell fusion.
- The cell biology of quiescent yeast – a diversity of individual scenarios
Summary: Quiescent yeast cells display a plethora of individual properties that evolve with time. Here, we discuss recent findings and emerging concepts in Saccharomyces cerevisiae quiescent cell biology.
- Lipid-dependent regulation of exocytosis in S. cerevisiae by OSBP homolog (Osh) 4
Highlighted Article: This study describes a role for lipid ligand binding by a yeast ORP in exocytic vesicle docking, guiding our understanding of how ORPs may function in more complex organisms.
