Abstract excerpt
The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe is a highly polarized unicellular eukaryote with two opposite growing poles in which F-actin cytoskeleton is focused. The KIN1/PAR-1/MARK protein family is composed of conserved eukaryotic serine/threonine kinases which are involved in cell polarity, microtubule stability or cell cycle regulation. Here, we investigate the function of the fission yeast KIN1/PAR-1/MARK...
