Abstract excerpt
Cells of the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae bud at either axial or bipolar sites depending on their cell type. Bud-site selection directs both cell polarity and the cytoskeletal orientation during budding and is determined by at least five genes: BUD1/RSR1, BUD2, BUD3, BUD4 and BUD5. Mutants defective in BUD1, BUD2 or BUD5 choose bud sites randomly. Bud1 protein (Bud1p) has sequence similarity to Ras, a...
