The ability to fluorescently label microtubules in live cells has enabled numerous studies of
motile and mitotic processes. Such studies are particularly useful in budding yeast owing to …

The centrosome is the principal microtubule organizing center in most animal cells. It
consists of a pair of centrioles surrounded by pericentriolar material. The centrosome, like …

Ashbya gossypii is a filamentous ascomycete belonging to the yeast family of
Saccharomycetaceae. At the end of its growth phase Ashbya generates abundant amounts …

In angiosperms, the conversion of an egg cell into a zygote involves two sequential gametic
processes: plasmogamy, the fusion of the plasma membranes of male and female gametes …

The position of the nucleus in the cytoplasm is a highly regulated process and is required for
multiple cellular and developmental processes. Defects on different nuclear positioning …

Motor proteins of the conserved kinesin-14 family have important roles in mitotic spindle
organization and chromosome segregation. Previous studies have indicated that kinesin-14 …

The different actin structures governing eukaryotic cell shape and movement are not only
determined by the properties of the actin filaments and associated proteins, but also by …

The filamentous fungus Ashbya gossypii is a cotton pathogen transmitted by insects. It is
readily grown and manipulated in the laboratory and is commercially exploited as a natural …

The spindle pole body (SPB) of budding yeast duplicates once per cell cycle. In G1, the
satellite, an SPB precursor, assembles next to the mother SPB (mSPB) on the cytoplasmic …

Fertilization is comprised of two sequential fusion processes; plasmogamy and karyogamy.
Karyogamy completes with migration and fusion of the male and female nuclei in the fused …
