An Extended, Boolean Model of the Septation Initiation Network in S-pombe Provides Insights into Its Regulation

Viesturs Simanis, Andrea Krapp, Elena Cano, Anastasia Chasapi, Ioannis Xenarios

Cytokinesis in fission yeast is controlled by the Septation Initiation Network (SIN), a protein kinase signaling network using the spindle pole body as scaffold. In order to describe the qualitative behavior of the system and predict unknown mutant behavio ...

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 ...

Purification of centrosomes from mammalian cell lines

Paul Guichard

Centrosomes act as the main microtubule-organizing centre of animal cells and play critical roles in the cell, such as mitotic spindle organization, cell polarity, and motility. They are composed of two barrel-shaped structures, the centrioles, surrounded ...

Unraveling the Physiological Role of Capillary Morphogenesis Gene 2 in Health and Disease

Jérôme Bürgi

Capillary Morphogenesis Gene 2 (CMG2) is a 55kDa single-pass transmembrane protein best described as the main Anthrax Toxin Receptor. However, CMG2 physiological role remains elusive and understanding better its in vivo function was the main objective of m ...

The Caenorhabditis elegans protein SAS-5 forms large oligomeric assemblies critical for centriole formation

Pierre Gönczy, Georgios Hatzopoulos, Nicola Jane Dynes, Sheng Kai Pong

Centrioles are microtubule-based organelles crucial for cell division, sensing and motility. In Caenorhabditis elegans, the onset of centriole formation requires notably the proteins SAS-5 and SAS-6, which have functional equivalents across eukaryotic evol ...

Optimization of the analogue-sensitive Cdc2/Cdk1 mutant by in vivo selection eliminates physiological limitations to its use in cell cycle analysis

Viesturs Simanis

Analogue-sensitive (as) mutants of kinases are widely used to selectively inhibit a single kinase with few off-target effects. The analogue-sensitive mutant cdc2-as of fission yeast (Schizosaccharomyces pombe) is a powerful tool to study the cell cycle, bu ...

Mechanisms of differential centriole inheritance in C. elegans

Lukas von Tobel

Centrosomes are the principal microtubule organizing center (MTOC) of animal cells and comprise a pair of centrioles surrounded by pericentriolar material (PCM). Centriole number must be carefully regulated to ensure bipolar spindle formation and thus fait ...

Dma1-dependent degradation of SIN proteins during meiosis in Schizosaccharomyces pombe

Viesturs Simanis, Andrea Krapp

The Schizosaccharomyces pombe septation initiation network (SIN) is required for cytokinesis during vegetative growth and for spore formation during meiosis. Regulation of the SIN during mitosis has been studied extensively, but less is known about its mei ...

NuMA interacts with phosphoinositides and links the mitotic spindle with the plasma membrane

Pierre Gönczy, Coralie Busso, Sachin Kotak

The positioning and the elongation of the mitotic spindle must be carefully regulated. In human cells, the evolutionary conserved proteins LGN/Gai1-3 anchor the coiled-coil protein NuMA and dynein to the cell cortex during metaphase, thus ensuring proper s ...

SAS-1 Is a C2 Domain Protein Critical for Centriole Integrity in C. elegans

Pierre Gönczy, Graham Knott, Simon Blanchoud, Lukas von Tobel, Tamara Mikeladze-Dvali

Centrioles are microtubule-based organelles important for the formation of cilia, flagella and centrosomes. Despite progress in understanding the underlying assembly mechanisms, how centriole integrity is ensured is incompletely understood, including in sp ...
