Cytokinesis depends on a contractile actomyosin ring in many eukaryotes [1–3]. Myosin II is a key component of the actomyosin ring, although whether it functions as a motor or as an actin cross-linker to exert its essential role is disputed [1, 4, 5]. In Schizosaccharomyces pombe, the myo2-E1 mutation affects the upper 50 kDa sub-domain of the myosin II heavy chain, and cells carrying this lethal...
The AP‐2 complex is a heterotetrameric endocytic cargo‐binding adaptor that facilitates uptake of membrane proteins during mammalian clathrin‐mediated endocytosis. While budding yeast has clear homologues of all four AP‐2 subunits which form a complex and localize to endocytic sites in vivo, the function of yeast AP‐2 has remained enigmatic. Here, we demonstrate that AP‐2 is required for hyphal growth...
Fungi can grow in a variety of growth forms: yeast, pseudohyphae and hyphae. The human fungal pathogen Candida albicans can grow in all three of these forms. In this fungus, hyphal growth is distinguished by the presence of a Spitzenkörper-like structure at the hyphal tip and a band of septin bars around the base of newly evaginated germ tubes. The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae grows as yeast...
