Shaping fission yeast with microtubules.

Cold Spring Harbor perspectives in biology - 1 Jul 2009

Chang Fred, Martin Sophie G

Abstract excerpt

For cell morphogenesis, the cell must establish distinct spatial domains at specified locations at the cell surface. Here, we review the molecular mechanisms of cell polarity in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. These are simple rod-shaped cells that form cortical domains at cell tips for cell growth and at the cell middle for cytokinesis. In both cases, microtubule-based systems help to shape the cell...
