FABRICATION OF NANOPORES IN SIN MEMBRANES USING FIB

Pressing adhering live cells onto the nanostructured SiN substrate and subsequent removal, planar cell membrane sheets (CMSs) were transferred in a well-defined orientation onto the SiN support. Using perforated thin SiN membranes both, extracellular and i ...

Cell division: SIN, cytokinesis and ethanol dependency

Viesturs Simanis, Andrea Krapp

A novel mutant screen in fission yeast has identified the 'ethanol dependent' protein etd1p as a potential link between the septation initiation network (SIN), which initiates cytokinesis, and the actomyosin contractile ring that drives separation of the t ...

Cortical localization of the Galpha protein GPA-16 requires RIC-8 function during C. elegans asymmetric cell division

Pierre Gönczy

Understanding of the mechanisms governing spindle positioning during asymmetric division remains incomplete. During unequal division of one-cell stage C. elegans embryos, the Galpha proteins GOA-1 and GPA-16 act in a partially redundant manner to generate ...

An atypical mitogen-activated protein kinase controls cytokinesis and flagellar motility during male gamete formation in a malaria parasite

The transmission of malaria parasites to the mosquito depends critically on the rapid initiation of sexual reproduction in response to triggers from the mosquito midgut environment. We here identify an essential function for an atypical mitogen-activated p ...

Tracking retrograde flow in keratocytes: news from the front

Jean-Jacques Meister, Sophie Bohnet

Actin assembly at the leading edge of the cell is believed to drive protrusion, whereas membrane resistance and contractile forces result in retrograde flow of the assembled actin network away from the edge. Thus, cell motion and shape changes are expected ...

Gradient of Rigidity in the Lamellipodia of Migrating Cells Revealed by Atomic Force Microscopy

Giovanni Dietler, Jean-Jacques Meister, Sandor Kasas, Alexandre Yersin

Changes in mechanical properties of the cytoplasm have been implicated in cell motility, but there is little information about these properties in specific regions of the cell at specific stages of the cell migration process. Fish epidermal keratocytes wit ...

SIN and the art of splitting the fission yeast cell

Viesturs Simanis, Andrea Krapp

The septation initiation network (SIN) triggers the onset of cytokinesis in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe by promoting contraction of the medially placed F-actin ring. SIN signaling is regulated by the polo-like kinase plo1p and by cdc2p, the ...

RIC-8 is required for GPR-1/2-dependent Galpha function during asymmetric division of C. elegans embryos

Pierre Gönczy

Heterotrimeric G proteins are crucial for asymmetric cell division, but the mechanisms of signal activation remain poorly understood. Here, we establish that the evolutionarily conserved protein RIC-8 is required for proper asymmetric division of one-cell ...

Myosin assembly: the power of multiubiquitylation

Pierre Gönczy

Ubiquitylation provides a means of targeting substrate proteins for degradation by the proteasome. Novel findings in C. elegans (Hoppe et al., 2004, this issue of Cell) establish that two ubiquitin-ligases team up to multiubiquitylate the myosin chaperone ...

[Mechanisms of cell division: lessons from a nematode]

Pierre Gönczy

The mechanisms orchestrating spatial cell division control remain poorly understood. In animal cells, the position of the mitotic spindle dictates cleavage furrow placement, and thus plays a key role in governing spatial relationships between resulting dau ...
