Abstract excerpt
Septum formation in the mitotic cell cycle of the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae occurs by conversion of the chitin ring, laid down at bud formation, into the primary septum. We show here that under certain conditions this septation is dependent on the newly identified RSF1 gene. However, cells harboring the rsf1-1 mutation accumulated in a postcytokinesis state, with delayed conversion of the chitin-rich...
