Morphogenesis of the Fission Yeast Cell through Cell Wall Expansion
The shape of walled cells such as fungi, bacteria, and plants are determined by the cell wall. Models for cell morphogenesis postulate that the effects of turgor pressure and mechanical properties of the cell wall can explain the shapes of these diverse cell types. However, in general, these models await validation through quantitative experiments. Fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe are ro...
متن کاملValproic acid affects membrane trafficking and cell-wall integrity in fission yeast.
Valproic acid (VPA) is widely used to treat epilepsy and manic-depressive illness. Although VPA has been reported to exert a variety of biochemical effects, the exact mechanisms underlying its therapeutic effects remain elusive. To gain further insights into the molecular mechanisms of VPA action, a genetic screen for fission yeast mutants that show hypersensitivity to VPA was performed. One of...

متن کاملSignalling towards cell wall synthesis in budding yeast.
The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has long proved to be a very useful model in cell biology. Its cell morphology is established and maintained at least in part by the cell wall, a rigid but dynamic structure that affords mechanical protection. Although fungal cell walls represent an unique phenomenon, recent progress in research has shown striking parallels between yeast and mammalian ...
متن کاملThe fission yeast cell wall stress sensor-like proteins Mtl2 and Wsc1 act by turning on the GTPase Rho1p but act independently of the cell wall integrity pathway
Sensing stressful conditions that affect the cell wall reorganization is important for yeast survival. Here, we studied two proteins SpWsc1p and SpMtl2p with structural features indicative of plasma membrane-associated cell wall sensors. We found that Mtl2p and Wsc1p act by turning on the Rho1p GTPase. Each gene could be deleted individually without affecting viability, but the deletion of both...
