Abstract excerpt
We studied the morphological changes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae ascospores during germination. Initiation of germination is followed by polarization of actin patches, maintaining their localization to the site of cell surface growth. Loss of polarisome components, Spa2p, Pea2p, Bud6p or Bni1p, results in depolarization of actin patches. Green fluorescent protein-fused polarisome components exhibit the polarized...
