Fission yeast mtr1p regulates interphase microtubule cortical dwell-time
The microtubule cytoskeleton plays important roles in cell polarity, motility and division. Microtubules inherently undergo dynamic instability, stochastically switching between phases of growth and shrinkage. In cells, some microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) and molecular motors can further modulate microtubule dynamics. We present here the fission yeast mtr1(+), a new regulator of microtu...
متن کاملAugmin Triggers Microtubule-Dependent Microtubule Nucleation in Interphase Plant Cells
Microtubule (MT)-dependent MT nucleation by γ-tubulin is required for interphase plant cells to establish a highly dynamic cortical MT network underneath the plasma membrane, which influences the deposition of cell wall materials and consequently governs patterns of directional cell expansion. Newly formed MTs either assume 40° angles or are parallel to the extant ones. To date, it has been eni...
متن کاملForce- and length-dependent catastrophe activities explain interphase microtubule organization in fission yeast
The cytoskeleton is essential for the maintenance of cell morphology in eukaryotes. In fission yeast, for example, polarized growth sites are organized by actin, whereas microtubules (MTs) acting upstream control where growth occurs. Growth is limited to the cell poles when MTs undergo catastrophes there and not elsewhere on the cortex. Here, we report that the modulation of MT dynamics by forc...
متن کاملAse1p organizes antiparallel microtubule arrays during interphase and mitosis in fission yeast.
Proper microtubule organization is essential for cellular processes such as organelle positioning during interphase and spindle formation during mitosis. The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe presents a good model for understanding microtubule organization. We identify fission yeast ase1p, a member of the conserved ASE1/PRC1/MAP65 family of microtubule bundling proteins, which functions i...
متن کاملThe 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,...
