Abstract excerpt
Methylglyoxal (MG) is a natural metabolite derived from glycolysis, and it inhibits the growth of cells in all kinds of organisms. We recently reported that MG inhibits nuclear division in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. However, the mechanism by which MG blocks nuclear division remains unclear. Here, we show that increase in the levels of phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(3,5)P2) is crucial for the...
