Tropomyosin is required for the cell fusion process during conjugation in fission yeast.

Genes to cells : devoted to molecular & cellular mechanisms - 1 Apr 2002

Kurahashi Hiroshi, Imai Yoshiyuki, Yamamoto Masayuki

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Tropomyosin is an actin-binding protein, which is thought to stabilize actin filaments and influence many aspects of F-actin. In fission yeast, the cdc8 gene encodes tropomyosin, and the gene product Cdc8p is known to be essential for the formation of the F-actin contractile ring and hence for cytokinesis in the mitotic cell cycle. RESULTS: We isolated fission yeast mutants that were defective in cell...
