New work by @valthomas.bsky.social et al. in @sophiemartinlab.bsky.social provides a live, 8-nm precision map of the actin fusion focus for cell-cell fusion in S. #pombe. This reveals #actin aster formation by #myosin Myo52-driven transport of the formin Fus1 nucleator rupress.org/jcb/article/...

Mammalian cells have KSR, budding yeast has Ste5… and fission yeast has Sms1 as the MAPK scaffold for sexual reproduction! Very excited to share my postdoc work where we discover that the hemi-arrestin Sms1 binds all components of the MAPK cascade, including ERK-like Spk1 doi.org/10.1101/2025...

This #FluorescenceFriday became a #SynapticSaturday 😁. I'm checking the expression of different neuronal proteins in the primate neocortex.4 markers below: SMI32🟡 for the large pyramidal neurons, calbindin, a calcium-binding protein in 🟣, Neun for neuron nuclei in 🟢. Dapi 🔵 for nuclei of all cells.

High levels of Cdc42 GTPase underlie an all-or-none decision to fuse

Cdc42 is a Rho-family GTPase conserved across eukaryotes, where it plays essential roles in cell polarization. In single-celled yeast systems, Cdc42 is a key driver of symmetry breaking and polarized ...
