Variations in cell wall composition and biomechanical properties can contribute to the cellular plasticity required during complex processes such as polarized growth and elongation in microbial cells. This study utilizes atomic force microscopy (AFM) to map the cell surface topography of fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, at the pole regions and to characterize the biophysical properties within...
Populations of microbes are constantly evolving heterogeneity that selection acts upon, yet heterogeneity is nontrivial to assess methodologically. The necessary practice of isolating single‐cell colonies and thus subclone lineages for establishing, transferring, and using a strain results in single‐cell bottlenecks with a generally neglected effect on the characteristics of the strain itself. Here,...
Zygosaccharomyces sp. is an industrially important yeast for the production traditional fermented foods in Japan. At present, however, there is no easy method for mating Zygosaccharomyces sp. strains in the laboratory; furthermore, little is known about the expression of mating‐type‐specific genes in this yeast. Here, mating was observed when Zygosaccharomyces sp. was subjected to nitrogen‐starvation...
Posttranslational modifications play a crucial role in regulating gene expression. Among these modifications, arginine methylation has recently attracted tremendous attention due to its role in multiple cellular functions. This review discusses the recent advances that have established arginine methylation as a major player in determining cytoplasmic messenger RNA (mRNA) fate. We specifically focus...
