Cell Division by Longitudinal Scission in the Insect Endosymbiont

Bruno Lemaitre, Graham Knott, Catherine Maclachlan, Elodie Julie Virginie Ramond

Spiroplasma bacteria are highly motile bacteria with no cell wall and a helical morphology. This clade includes many vertically transmitted insect endosymbionts, including Spiroplasma poulsonii, a natural endosymbiont of Drosophila melanogaster. S. poulson ...

Pombe's thirteen - control of fission yeast cell division by the septation initiation network

Viesturs Simanis

The septation initiation network (SIN) regulates aspects of cell growth and division in Schizosaccharomyces pombe and is essential for cytokinesis. Insufficient signalling results in improper assembly of the contractile ring and failure of cytokinesis, gen ...

Correction of a Depth-Dependent Lateral Distortion in 3D Super-Resolution Imaging

Suliana Manley, Kyle Michael Douglass, Seamus John Holden, Lina Carlini

Three-dimensional (3D) localization-based super-resolution microscopy (SR) requires correction of aberrations to accurately represent 3D structure. Here we show how a depth-dependent lateral shift in the apparent position of a fluorescent point source, whi ...

High throughput 3D super-resolution microscopy reveals Caulobacter crescentus in vivo Z-ring organization

Suliana Manley, Karin Lederballe Meibom, Seamus John Holden, Thomas Pengo

We created a high-throughput modality of photoactivated localization microscopy (PALM) that enables automated 3D PALM imaging of hundreds of synchronized bacteria during all stages of the cell cycle. We used high-throughput PALM to investigate the nanoscal ...

Listeria phage A511, a model for the contractile tail machineries of SPO1-related bacteriophages

Petr Leiman

Recognition of the bacterial host and attachment to its surface are two critical steps in phage infection. Here we report the identification of Gp108 as the host receptor-binding protein of the broad host-range, virulent Listeria phage A511. The ligands fo ...

Direct path integral estimators for isotope fractionation ratios

Michele Ceriotti, Bingqing Cheng

Fractionation of isotopes among distinct molecules or phases is a quantum effect which is often exploited to obtain insights on reaction mechanisms, biochemical, geochemical, and atmospheric phenomena. Accurate evaluation of isotope ratios in atomistic sim ...

Dividing the spoils of growth and the cell cycle: The fission yeast as a model for the study of cytokinesis

Viesturs Simanis, Anupama Goyal

Cytokinesis is the final stage of the cell cycle, and ensures completion of both genome segregation and organelle distribution to the daughter cells. Cytokinesis requires the cell to solve a spatial problem (to divide in the correct place, orthogonally to ...

Chemical genetic analysis of the regulatory role of Cdc2p in the S. pombe septation initiation network

Viesturs Simanis, Andrea Krapp

The protein kinase Cdc2p is the master regulator of cell cycle progression in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. It is required both for entry into mitosis and for onset of DNA replication. Cdc2p must be inactivated to permit exit from mitosis, l ...

Total Synthesis of (-)-Pseudolaric Acid B

Jérôme Waser

We report a full account of our work toward the total synthesis of pseudolaric acid B (1a), a diterpene acid isolated from the bark of Pseudolarix kaempferi Gordon (pinaceae). Compound 1a is an antifungal and antifertility agent. Furthermore, its capacity ...

Visualization of proteins in intact cells with a clonable tag for electron microscopy

Paul Guichard

Identification of proteins in 3D maps of cells is a main challenge in structural cell biology. For light microscopy (LM) clonable reagents such as green fluorescent protein represented a real revolution and equivalent reagents for transmission electron mic ...
