The fission yeast microtubule cytoskeleton.
The Schizosaccharomyces pombe genome sequencing project (http://www. sanger.ac.uk/Projects/S_pombe/) is nearly complete, and this is likely to generate interest in fission yeast as a model system beyond its traditional strongholds in the study of the cell cycle and sexual differentiation. In many fields S. pombe will offer a useful complement to the more widely studied Saccharomyces cerevisiae,...
متن کاملKinesin-5-independent mitotic spindle assembly requires the antiparallel microtubule crosslinker Ase1 in fission yeast
Bipolar spindle assembly requires a balance of forces where kinesin-5 produces outward pushing forces to antagonize the inward pulling forces from kinesin-14 or dynein. Accordingly, Kinesin-5 inactivation results in force imbalance leading to monopolar spindle and chromosome segregation failure. In fission yeast, force balance is restored when both kinesin-5 Cut7 and kinesin-14 Pkl1 are deleted...
متن کاملThe Fission Yeast Ran Gtpase Is Required for Microtubule Integrity
The microtubule cytoskeleton plays a pivotal role in cytoplasmic organization, cell division, and the correct transmission of genetic information. In a screen designed to identify fission yeast genes required for chromosome segregation, we identified a strain that carries a point mutation in the SpRan GTPase. Ran is an evolutionarily conserved eukaryotic GTPase that directly participates in nuc...
متن کاملFission Yeast Mto1 Regulates Diversity of Cytoplasmic Microtubule Organizing Centers
Microtubule nucleation by the γ-tubulin complex occurs primarily at centrosomes, but more diverse types of microtubule organizing centers (MTOCs) also exist, especially in differentiated cells. Mechanisms generating MTOC diversity are poorly understood. Fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe has multiple types of cytoplasmic MTOCs, and these vary through the cell cycle. Cytoplasmic microtubule...
متن کاملFission Yeast Scp3 Potentially Maintains Microtubule Orientation through Bundling
Microtubules play important roles in organelle transport, the maintenance of cell polarity and chromosome segregation and generally form bundles during these processes. The fission yeast gene scp3+ was identified as a multicopy suppressor of the cps3-81 mutant, which is hypersensitive to isopropyl N-3-chlorophenylcarbamate (CIPC), a poison that induces abnormal multipolar spindle formation in h...
