Abstract excerpt
The spindle pole body (SPB) of Schizosaccharomyces pombe is required for assembly of the forespore membrane (FSM) during meiosis. Before de novo biogenesis of the FSM, the meiotic SPB forms outer plaques, an event referred to as SPB modification. A constitutive SPB component, Spo15, plays an indispensable role in SPB modification and sporulation. Here, we analyzed two sporulation-specific genes, spo13(+) and...
