The regulation of cell wall synthesis by the clathrin light chain has been addressed. Schizosaccharomyces pombe clc1D mutant was inviable in the absence of osmotic stabilization; when grown in sorbitol-supplemented medium clc1D cellsgrew slowly...

We have addressed the function of the clathrin light chain Clc1+p in vesicle trafficking and morphogenesis in Schizosaccharomyces pombe. We show here that deletion of clc1 is lethal and that this lethality is remedied by osmotic stabilization. When...

In fungi, cell adhesion is required for flocculation, mating and virulence, and it is mediated by covalently

bound cell wall proteins termed adhesins. Map4, an adhesin required for mating in Schizosaccharomyces

pombe, is N...

-Golgi network to the plasma membrane. The exomer is formed by a scaffold protein, Chs5p, to which Chs6p and its homologues (Bch1p, Bud7p and Bch2p, termed generically “ChAPs”) anchor. The ChAPs are responsible for cargo specificity.

S. pombe Cfr1p shares...

The term exomer refers to a Saccharomyces cerevisiae complex required for the delivery of certain transmembrane proteins to the plasma membrane. Schizosaccharomyces pombe Cfr1p and Bch1p are similar to some exomer components. In the absence...

In yeast, cytokinesis requires coordination between nuclear division, acto-myosin ring contraction, and septum synthesis. We studied the role of the Schizosaccharomyces pombe Bgs1p and Cfh3p proteins during cytokinesis under stress conditions. Cfh3p...

The regulation of cell wall synthesis by the clathrin light chain has been addressed. Schizosaccharomyces pombe clc1Δ mutant was inviable in the absence of osmotic stabilization, while in other organisms as Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Dictyostelium...

In fungi, success of mating requires that both cells agglutinate, modify their extracellular envelopes, and

fuse their plasma membranes and nuclei to produce a zygote. Here we studied the role of the Schizosaccharomyces pombe Dni1 protein...
