Abstract excerpt
Schizosaccharomyces pombe represents a genetic model system for studying cell polarity and division in eukaryotes. We report here the identification of Mac1, a novel fission yeast protein that localized predominantly to the cell tips and septum. Sequences corresponding to roughly the first 180 amino acids of Mac1, which exhibited weak homology to the transmembrane domains of the Aspergillus Pall protein [Mol....
